16、le precautions to prevent personalinjury.7. Test Specimens7.1 The test specimens shall be made of 4130 steel Condi-tion N in accordance with SAE-AMS-6345, measuring 25.4 by50.8 by 1.22 mm (1 by 2 by 0.048 in.) and cadmium plated inaccordance with Appendix X1. The electrodeposited platingshall have a
17、 minimum thickness of 0.13 mm (0.0005 in.).7.2 Three replicates should be tested in each concentrationof maintenance chemicals solution as prescribed in 9.2.8. Precleaning Test Specimens8.1 Using a stiff bristle brush, brush off loose cadmiumplate. Be careful to brush only as hard as is required to
18、removethe loose cadmium plate. Immerse the test specimens in abeaker of methyl npropyl ketone4(2-pentanone) and swab thesurface of the individual specimen thoroughly using cleanforceps to hold the test specimen and the cotton swab.8.2 Shake off excess solvent. Transfer and immerse the testspecimens
19、separately several times in a beaker of methyln-propyl ketone (2-pentanone).8.3 Shake off excess methyl n-propyl ketone (2-pentanone)and dry in an oven at 110 6 2C (230 6 4F) for 1 h.9. Test Conditions9.1 Ratio of Area of Immersed Metal to Volume ofSolutionThe ratio of the area of immersed metal to
20、volumeof solution shall be 25 mL of solution per 625 mm2(1 in.2)ofspecimen surface.9.2 Solution ConcentrationUnless otherwise specified,test the specimens in solutions of the maintenance chemicals inthe concentrated as-received condition and at the recom-mended use dilution, using water to dilute th
21、e material undertest. (For solid materials concentrated condition shall mean onepart solid to five parts by weight of diluent.) In case thematerial is not soluble at the recommended dilution, record thisfact and continue with the test.9.2.1 If water is not used as the diluent, record the type andspe
22、cification of diluent used in the test.9.3 TemperatureUnless otherwise specified, the test tem-perature shall be 35 6 1C (95 6 2F).9.4 Test DurationUnless otherwise specified, the testperiod shall be 24 h.10. Procedure10.1 Dry the precleaned specimens at 110C (230F) for 1h, allow to cool to room tem
23、perature in a desiccator, thenweigh to the nearest 0.1 mg.10.2 Transfer the specimens to the vessel containing thepreheated maintenance chemical solution. Seal the test vesselto prevent loss of vapor. Maintain at the required temperatureand expose for a period of 24 h.10.3 Remove the specimens at th
24、e end of the exposureperiod and proceed as follows:10.3.1 Hold the specimen in forceps and rinse thoroughly ina 1-L beaker into which tap water is flowing rapidly.10.3.2 Rinse thoroughly in water at room temperature.10.3.3 Rinse with a stream of acetone from a wash bottle.Shake free from acetone and
25、 dry.10.3.4 Place the specimens in an oven at 110 6 2C (230 64F) for 1 h and allow to cool to room temperature in adesiccator.10.3.5 Reweigh the specimens to the nearest 0.1 mg andrecord.11.
