26、EN 12487:2007 (E) 5 NOTE This type of coating is typically applied to extruded and rolled aluminium fabricated parts, castings and long coils. 3.2 non-rinsed chromate coating coil coating chromate coating that is dried immediately after the chromating step without receiving a water rinse NOTE This t
27、ype of coating is normally used on long coils of aluminium sheet stock that receive immediate painting or adhesive coating. 4 Information to be supplied by the purchaser The following information shall be supplied by the purchaser: a) coating designation (see clause 5); b) sampling methods, acceptan
28、ce levels or any other inspection requirements if different from those given in ISO 4519 (see clause 6); c) surface preparation prior to chromate conversion coating (see Annex A for guidance); d) requirements for adhesion (see 7.3) and corrosion resistance (see 7.6); e) nature, condition and finish
29、of the basis metal, if any of these could affect the serviceability and/or appearance of the coating. WARNING Use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsib
30、ility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Chemicals and materials shall be used and disposed of in a professional and environmentally suitable manner. 5 Coating types and designation
31、 5.1 Coating types A conversion coating shall be referred to as type A, type C1, or type E1 in accordance with Table 1. NOTE Annex A provides guidance on coating type, purpose, end use and mass per unit area. EN 12487:2007 (E) 6 Table 1 Types of chromate conversion coating Type Appearance Coating ma
32、ss per unit area(g/m) Other properties A Colourless 0,05 to 0,2 Decorative, low insulation resistance C1 Yellow (light to iridescent) 0,4 to 1,0 Used as a paint base and for bonding to rubber E1 Light green 0,4 to 1,2 Used as a paint base and for bonding to rubber NOTE For chromated long coils for t
33、ypes C1 and E1, the coating mass 0,5 g/m2to 0,8 g/m2is recommended. 5.2 Conversion coating designation The conversion coating designation shall be comprised of the following: a) number of this European Standard; b) hyphen; c) aluminium alloy designation in accordance with EN 573-1, EN 573-2 and EN 5
34、73-3 (wrought aluminium alloys), EN 485 parts 1 through 4 (cast aluminium alloys) and the temper designation in accordance with EN 515; d) solidus; e) symbol designating the type of coating (see Table 1 and NOTE 1 below). If the chromate conversion coating has to be after-treated, the designation sh
35、all also be comprised of the following: f) solidus; g) symbol indicating any after-treatment of the conversion coating as specified in Table B.1, Annex B (also see NOTE 2 below). NOTE 1 It is recommended that the chemical symbol is followed by the standard designation of the basis metal. NOTE 2 This
36、 can be repeated if more after-treatments are required. EXAMPLE The designation of a chromate conversion coating with a coating mass of 0,4 g/m2to 1,2 g/m2(E1) on wrought aluminium alloy EN AW-6060 T6, that has been after-treated with the application of inorganic or organic sealant (T2) is: Chromate
37、 conversion coating EN 12487-EN AW 6060 T6/E1/T2. 6 Sampling Sampling shall either be carried out in accordance with ISO 4519 or as specified by the purchaser (see clause 4, b). EN 12487:2007 (E) 7 7 Coating requirements 7.1 General Any tests (including corrosion resistance tests) shall be deferred
38、until the expiry of a 24 h period after treatment. NOTE Conversion coatings harden with age by gradual dehydration; they should, therefore, be handled carefully for the first 24 h after the last treatment. 7.2 Electrical insulation When measured at an open circuit voltage of 9 V and a current of 2 A
39、 in accordance with IEC 60603-1, the resistance between an electrical contact and the aluminium shall be less than 0,1 for type A, type C1 and type E1 coatings. 7.3 Adhesion 7.3.1 The coatings shall be adherent and non-powdery. The conversion coating shall pass the test described in 7.3.2 or 7.3.3.
40、7.3.2 Rub the dried surface with white soft tissue paper using normal hand pressure, making 10 movements. This treatment shall not leave any trace of staining on the paper. 7.3.3 If the test described in 7.3.2 is not sufficient to measure the adhesion of a conversion coating on aluminium, carry out
41、a practical evaluation of the adhesion by measuring the adhesion of a secondary organic film applied to the chromated aluminium. 7.4 Coating mass per unit area For all but thin (type A) coatings, the coating mass per unit area of chromate and chromate-phosphate coatings on aluminium shall be determi
42、ned in accordance with EN ISO 3892 or with the methods described in C.2 to C.4. For thin (type A) chromate coatings, the coating mass per unit area shall be determined in accordance with C.3 and C.4. NOTE For thin chromate coatings, the errors associated with the methods described in EN ISO 3892 are
43、 unacceptably high. 7.5 Coating identification 7.5.1 General The test methods specified in Annex D shall be used to determine the presence or absence of relevant chemical elements in the conversion coating. 7.5.2 Chromate conversion coatings (yellow) The presence of chromium and the absence of phosp
44、hate in the coating shall identify the layer as a chromate conversion coating. The layer may contain hexavalent chromium. 7.5.3 Chromate phosphate coatings (green) The presence of phosphate and chromium and the absence of zinc shall identify the layer as a chromate-phosphate conversion coating. The
45、layer consists of trivalent chromium. EN 12487:2007 (E) 8 7.6 Corrosion resistance The corrosion resistance of a conversion coating shall be determined in accordance with EN ISO 9227. NOTE Requirements for corrosion resistance of conversion coatings vary widely depending on the aluminium alloys to w
46、hich they are applied. The method is only suitable for production control to show no changes in the coating process during pre-treatment or between different periods of pre-treatment. EN 12487:2007 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) Process systems A.1 Surface preparation The surfaces of the parts to be ch
47、romated should be clean and substantially free from any oxidation, scale or soils such as metal turnings, grinding dust, oil, grease, lubricants, hand-sweat or any other contamination that is detrimental to the final finish. The parts should therefore be cleaned before chromating and if necessary, b
48、e pickled. Prior to the non-rinsed chromating process, surfaces should be free from non-reactive soluble salts. Care should be taken when rinsing to avoid splattering of chemicals and corrosion initiation. Figure A.1 shows the processing step options available depending on the preparation and intend
49、ed end use required.
