The light box, consists of tr
29、anslucent glass, lit from below by a luminous source giving an even illumination of 1 000 lux to 1 500 lux. The size of the light box is determined by the dimension of the largest foil sample to be examined. 5.2 Test method Dim the light in the room in which the test is carried out to 20 lux to 50 l
30、ux. Place the foil test sample on the light box with its matt surface facing the observer. Mask the area of the light box not covered by the test sample. Observe the test sample from a distance of approximately 0,5 m. The test area shall be selected by one of the following methods: a) worst area sel
31、ection: a sample of 1 dm2is selected from the area exhibiting the highest porosity (worst field); b) random selection: a sample of 1 m2is selected at random. Count the number of pinholes or roll holes in the sample. Ignore pinholes less than 0,020 mm in diameter. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Wed Apr
32、 04 07:23:22 GMT+00:00 2007, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 546-4:2006 (E) 6 For the worst area selection sample, count the number of voids in 1 dm2.For the random selection sample, count the number of voids in 1 m2. Report separately the number of pinholes and roll holes per unit area. 5.3 Acceptance
33、 values The maximum acceptable number of pinholes and roll holes shall be agreed between supplier and purchaser. 5.4 Sampling and frequency of testing One full width test sample at correct nominal gauge measuring approximately 1 m in length along the rolling direction shall be taken and tested from
34、every three rolled coils. 6 Wettability 6.1 Test principle The test shall apply to aluminium foil in the gauge range 6 m to 200 m. The surface of the fully annealed foil is assessed according to its ability to be wetted by liquids applied under clearly defined conditions. 6.2 General test conditions
35、 6.2.1 General Carry out the tests at ambient temperature. Remove the outside wraps to reduce the coil build-up by a minimum of 3 mm in order to obtain a representative sample before performing the test. Usually the test is carried out on the matt side of the foil. Precautions shall be taken to prev
36、ent the liquids from accidentally coming into contact with edge of reel. Do not repeat tests on the same area of sample. 6.2.2 Equipment used Four techniques are recommended: 1) the droplet bottle, to be used for depositing drops of liquid on the surface to be tested (see 6.3.1); 2) a spray bottle,
37、to apply a fine spray mist across the width of the metal surface to be tested (see 6.3.2); 3) a spray bottle, to enable a continuous stream of liquid to be applied to the surface (see 6.3.3); 4) cotton wool soaked in the appropriate liquid to be used for smearing the surface under test (see 6.3.4).
38、The cotton wool shall be clean. This test should be used as a referee method. Other tests can be used after agreement between supplier and customer.

39、shall be used for all tests: distilled water; or distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl-alcohol to a concentration of 10 % or 20 % by volume. 6.3 Test procedures 6.3.1 Test by droplet 6.3.1.1 Test method Use a droplet bottle to drop 40 mg to 80 mg drops of liquid onto the horizontal metal surfa
40、ce at a rate of one drop every 5 cm to 10 cm across the width of the web. Tilt the surface between 40and 60(see Figure 1). Determine the wettability index from the tail left by the movement of the droplets across the surface. Figure 1 Test by droplet Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Wed Apr 04 07:23:22
