7、ow under an electrical potential in thepresence of moisture.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Two parallel helices of fine copper wire are laid inetched grooves on a glass tube. The adhesive material is coatedover the wires and the tube and then allowed to set or cure. Thewired tube is exposed to high humid
8、ity with a d-c potentialapplied between the wires. Corrosion products are observedvisually.5. Significance and Use5.1 Adhesives can be exposed to both electrical potentialand humidity in many electrical and electronic applications. Itis therefore desirable to provide a means of examining thecorrosiv
9、e tendencies of certain adhesives towards metals.5.2 Although electrolytic corrosion is a direct result of ionicconduction in the adhesive, the nature of the exposed metalswill have a bearing on both the severity of metal attack and thevisibility of corrosion products. Because it gives a visualindic
10、ation of corrosion and because of its widespread use inelectrical circuits, copper is used in this practice. However, thiswould not preclude the use of other metals for specificinterests.5.3 This procedure is a subjective test in that determinationsof the presence of corrosion is based on a visual i

Procedure7.1 Rinse a chemically cleaned helically etched glass
16、 tubewith distilled water and air dry. Keep clean until ready for use.7.2 Clean copper wire by immersing in fresh methyl ethylketone and wiping with clean, lint-free cloth. When materialsare cleaned, handle them only with clean white gloves, cleantongs, or other suitable implements.7.3 Attach the tu
17、be to the motor drive shaft and manuallylay the wire around the small knobs on the tube. Repeat withanother length of wire in the adjacent groove. Avoid excesstension on the wire as this may lead to drawing.7.4 Cover one end of the tube with a thin film of polyeth-ylene, roughly 75 mm (3 in.) to 100
18、 mm (4 in.) across, andinsert the tube into a 16-mm (58-in.) inside diameter by 13-mm(12-in.) deep hole centered in the small end of a neoprenestopper.7.5 Make solder connections of the helically wound wires todiametrically opposed connecting posts inserted in the neo-prene stopper (Note 1). Clip ex
19、cess wire from the opposite endof the tube.NOTE 1Short lengths of 14-gauge tinned copper wire have workedsatisfactory as connecting posts.7.6 Apply two thin uniform applications of the test adhesivein approximately 6-mm (14-in.) wide uniform stripes of thematerial to be tested 180 apart over the ent
20、ire exposed lengthof the test apparatus. Allow the material to set or cure inaccordance with the manufacturers recommendations.7.6.1 For adhesive systems which are air-inhibited or con-tain volatile, reactive constituents, wrap the test apparatus witha suitable nonadherent, inert film. Polyethylene,
21、 polypropy-lene, TFE-fluorocarbon, or similar films may be used. Forair-inhibited adhesive systems, polyethylene and polypropy-lene are not recommended. If one of these films is used tocover the test adhesive, remove the nonadherent film from thetest apparatus after the adhesive system has set or cu
22、red andbefore subjecting the specimen to humidity exposure.NOTE 2For extremely critical applications, room- and moderatetemperature curing adhesives may be subjected to the testing environmentduring cure if mutually agreed.7.7 Control temperature and relative humidity, when speci-fied, in accordance
23、 with Practice E 104, Method C.NOTE 3For example, for 96 % relative humidity at 35C (95F) place2to3gofpotassium sulfate in a test tube and cover with a saturatedsolution of the same salt in distilled water to about a 25-mm (1-in.) depth.7.8 Before placing the assembly in the test tube, the externall
24、eads should be temporarily connected to the d-c voltagesource, and then the leads of a d-c voltmeter should be touchedto the bottom ends of the two test wires on the coated tube tocheck that the applied voltage is present throughout the testwires under the adhesive.7.9 Insert the wired, coated tube
25、and rubber stopper in thetest tube, keeping the polyethylene film between the rubber andwire leads.FIG. 1 Corrosion Test ApparatusFIG. 2 Glass TubeD 3482 07a27.10 Place the tube in the oven or temperature-controlledchamber and connect the leads externally to a 45-V battery orequivalent power source.
26、7.11 Examine the wires visually with the aid of a 5-powermagnifying glass for green discoloration or other visibleevidence of corrosion. Observe at the end of 1 and 3 days, andperiodically thereafter up to 15 days, or for the period of timespecifically required. Use blanks of known corrosive or non-
