18、ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
19、committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of elect
20、rotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the
21、member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for ident
22、ifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 27874 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings, Subcommittee SC 3, Electrodeposited coatings and related finishes. This first edition of ISO 27874 cancels and replaces ISO 4523:1985, ISO 4524-1:1985, ISO 4524-4:19
23、85 and ISO 4524-5:1985, of which it constitutes a technical revision. BS EN ISO 27874:2008ISO 27874:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved vIntroduction The engineering uses of electrodeposited gold and gold alloy coatings have expanded with the growth of the electrical and electronic industries. Low
24、voltages and currents, dry circuits and microwave frequencies require low-resistance interconnection systems, connectors and waveguides. Non-tarnishing, low-resistance gold coatings were the logical choice for connectors where the stability of contact surfaces was critical. The need to improve the w
25、ear resistance of gold coatings led to the development of new electroplating solutions containing controlled amounts of metallic and non-metallic additives that either changed the composition or altered the crystal structure of the coating. The special needs of the printed-circuit industry led to th
26、e development of acid gold electroplating solutions that contained no free cyanide, yielding coatings that are hard, bright and solderable. Formulations for high-speed electroplating up to current densities of 200 A/dm2were introduced for continuous strip, stripe or spot gold and gold alloy coatings
27、. The high cost of gold metal has led to the development of selective and thickness profile plating techniques to limit the use of the metal to the active areas only of the components, where the gold is required. Designers will therefore often specify the area requiring gold electroplating as well a
28、s the thickness profile, if required, by reference to suitably marked drawings. With the introduction of many new gold electroplating formulations and the proliferation of engineering applications, the need for technical standards that specify the requirements of electrodeposited gold and gold alloy
29、 coatings, as well as the test methods to ensure that the specified requirements are met, is critical. Composition, appearance, hardness, thickness, purity, porosity, wear resistance, solderability, electrical contact resistance, infrared reflectivity and other properties must be controlled to produ
30、ce high-quality gold and gold alloy coatings for engineering purposes.

31、ineering purposes Specification and test methods WARNING This International Standard may not be compliant with some countries health, safety and environmental legislations. It calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate safety measures are not taken.
32、 This International Standard does not address any health hazards, safety or environmental matters, or legislation associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate health, safety and environmentally acceptable practices and take app
33、ropriate action to comply with any national, regional and/or international regulations. Compliance with this International Standard does not, of itself, confer immunity from legal obligations. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the requirements for electrodeposited gold and gold alloy coa
34、tings for electrical, electronic and other engineering applications on metallic and non-metallic substrates. It also specifies test methods for measuring the properties of the coatings. Although this International Standard does not specify the condition, finish or surface roughness of the basis mate
35、rial prior to electroplating, the appearance and serviceability of electroplated gold or gold alloy coatings depends on the condition of the basis material. It is essential that the purchaser specify the surface finish and roughness of the basis material in order to conform to the product requiremen
36、ts. This International Standard does not apply to coatings on threaded articles or to coatings on sheet or strip in non-fabricated form. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
