The work of preparing Interna
23、tional Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
24、ISO, also take patt in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Patt 3. Draft International Standar
25、ds adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the 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 International Standard may b

International Standard IS0 3497 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metallic and other inorganic coatings, Subcommittee SC 2, Test methods. This third edition cancels and repl
27、aces the second edition (IS0 3497:1990), which has been technically revised.

28、 Scope WARNING Problems concerning protection of personnel against X-rays are not covered by this International Standard. For information on this important aspect, reference should be made to current international and national standards, and to local regulations, where these exist. 1.1 This Internat
29、ional Standard specifies methods for measuring the thickness of metallic coatings by the use of X-ray spectrometric methods. 1.2 The measuring methods to which this International Standard applies are fundamentally those that determine the mass per unit area. Using a knowledge of the density of the c
30、oating material, the results of measurements can also be expressed as linear thickness of the coating. 1.3 simultaneous measurement of thickness and compositions of layers with up to three components. The measuring methods permit simultaneous measurement of coating systems with up to three layers, o
31、r 1.4 The practical measurement ranges of given coating materials are largely determined by the energy of the characteristic X-ray fluorescence to be analysed and by the acceptable measurement uncertainty and can differ depending upon the instrument system and operating procedure used. 2 Terms and d
32、efinitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 X-ray fluorescence XRF secondary radiation occurring when a high intensity incident X-ray beam impinges upon a material placed in the path of the incident beam NOTE The secondary emission has w
33、avelengths and energies characteristic of that material. 2.2 intensity of fluorescent radiation radiation intensity, X, measured by the instrument, expressed in counts (radiation pulses) per second 2.3 saturation thickness thickness that, if exceeded, does not produce any detectable change in fluore
34、scent intensity NOTE number of the material and on the angle of incident and fluorescent radiation with respect to the surface of the material. Saturation thickness depends upon the energy or wavelength of the fluorescent radiation, density and atomic 1 STDmBSI BS EN IS0 3497-ENGL 2DOL W Lb2Libb9 08
35、77552 555 W EN IS0 3497:2000 2.4 normalized intensity xn ratio of the difference in intensity obtained from a coated specimen, x, and an uncoated substrate material, xo, and the difference obtained from a material of thickness equal to or greater than the saturation thickness, xs (see 2.3) and an un
36、coated substrate material, x0, all measured under the same conditions NOTE 1 The mathematical relationship is given by: x-xo X“ =- xs -xo where x is the intensity obtained from the coated specimen; xo is the intensity obtained from uncoated substrate material; xs is the intensity obtained from a mat
37、erial of thickness equal to or greater than the saturation thickness. NOTE 2 The normalized intensity is independent of measurement and integration time, and intensity of the excitation (incident radiation). The geometric configuration and the energy of the excitation radiation can influence the nor
38、malized count rate. The value of xn is valid between O and 1. 2.5 intermediate coatings coatings that lie between the top coating and the basis material and are of thicknesses less than saturation for each of the coatings NOTE Any coating lying between the top coating and the basis material (substra
39、te) and having a thickness above saturation should itself be considered the true substrate since the material under such a coating will not affect the measurement and can be eliminated for measurement purposes. 2.6 count rate number of radiation pulses recorded by the instrument per unit time (see 2
40、.2). 2.7 basis material basis metal material upon which coatings are deposited or formed IS0 2080:1981, definition i 341 2.8 substrate material upon which a coating is directly deposited NOTE intermediate coating is the substrate. For a single or first coating the substrate is identical with the bas
41、is material; for a subsequent coating the IS0 2080:198i, definition 6301 2 STD.BS1 BS EN IS0 3497-ENGL 2001 m lb24bb9 0899553 491 = EN IS0 3497:2000 3 Principle 3.1 Basis of operation A relationship exists between mass per unit area of the coating (and thus the linear coating thickness if the densit
42、y is known) and the secondary radiation intensity. This relationship, for any practical instrument system, is first established by calibrating using calibration standards having coatings of known mass per unit area. If the coating material density is known, such standards can have coatings given in
43、linear thickness units, provided that the actual density value is also given. NOTE The coating material density is the density as-coated, which may or may not be the theoretical density of the coating material at the time the measurement is made. If this density differs from the density of the calib
44、ration standards, a factor that reflects this difference is used and documented in the test report. The fluorescent intensity is a function of the atomic number of the elements. Providing the top coating, intermediate coating (if present) and the substrate are of different elements or a coating cons
45、ists of more than one element, these elements will generate radiation characteristics for each of them. A suitable detector system can be adjusted to select either one or more energy bands, enabling the equipment to measure thickness and/or composition of either the top coating or the top and some i
46、ntermediate coatings simultaneously. 3.2 Excitation 3.2.1 General The measurement of the thickness of coatings by X-ray spectrometric methods is based on the combined interaction of the coating (or coatings) and substrate with an intense, often narrow, beam of polychromatic or monochromatic X-radiat
47、ion. This interaction results in generating discrete wavelengths or energies of secondary radiation which are characteristic of the elements composing the coating) and substrate. The generated radiation is obtained from a high voltage X-ray tube generator or from suitable radioisotopes. 3.2.2 Genera
48、tion by a high voltage X-ray tube Suitable excitation radiation will be produced by an X-ray tube if sufficient potential is applied to the tube and stable conditions apply. Applied voltages are in the order of 25 kV to 50 kV for most thickness requirements but voltages down to 10 kV may be necessar
49、y in order to measure low atomic number coating materials. For some applications the use of a primary filter, located between the X-ray tube and the specimen, decreases the measurement uncertainty. The chief advantages of this method of excitation are - the ability to create, by collimation, a very high intensity beam on a very small measurement area; - the ease of control for personnel safety requirements; - the potential stability of emission obtainable by modern electronic methods. 3.2.3 Generation by a radioisotope Only a few radioisoto
