The work of preparing International Standards is normall
18、y carried out through ISO 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 ISO, also take part in the
19、work. ISO 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, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare In
20、ternational Standards. Draft International Standards 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
21、 the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 18594 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 6, Resistance welding. Requests for official int

23、the transition resistance on aluminium and steel material 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the procedure and the experimental set-up for determining the transition resistance of a single sheet or two overlapping sheets of aluminium or steel, with or without surface treatment, and with o
24、r without surface coating. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 contact resistance electric property of a contact area between two bodies which opposes and limits the passage through it of a steady current EXAMPLE The contacts betw

29、-up for the determination of the transition resistance with one metal sheet between the electrodes. The total resistance is measured by means of the voltage/potential drop between the two sensing clamps. Either one or two specimens are placed between the electrodes, the electrode force is applied an
30、d a rectified current from an external source is allowed to flow through the test pieces via the electrodes. The voltage drop between the sensing clamps is measured and the total resistance calculated using Ohms law: URI= (1) EN ISO 18594:20073where R is the total resistance, in ohms; U is the volta
31、ge, in volts; I is the current, in amperes. The resistance of the experimental set-up, or set-up resistance, is obtained by measuring the voltage drop between the sensing clamps without any test pieces between the electrodes see Figure 2 b). The set-up resistance comprises the bulk resistance of the
32、 electrodes between the sensing clamps and the contact resistance between the electrodes. In the case of single metal sheet measurements, the total resistance consists of the bulk resistances of the top and bottom electrodes between the sensing clamps (R1, R7), the contact resistances (R2, R6) and t
33、he bulk resistance of the sheet (R3) see Figure 2 c). The total resistance, in the case of two-sheet measurements, consists of the bulk resistances of the top and bottom electrodes between the sensing clamps (R1, R7), the contact resistances (R2, R4, R6) and bulk resistances of the two-sheets (R3, R

36、8594:200754.2 Measurement procedure 4.2.1 Preparatory steps Test pieces, e.g. of a size 50 mm 100 mm, are taken from each material to be investigated. Surface conditions which do not correspond to production conditions in the measurement area (e.g. dirt, scratches, fingerprints) are not permitted. N
37、ormal surface conditions (e.g. oiled, phosphated, conversion coated) shall be documented in the test report. In the case of two-sheet measurements, the specimens shall be flat. Burrs are not admissible at the sheet-to-sheet interface. Before starting the test, both the measuring set-up and the sheet
38、 material shall be at ambient conditions. In the case of two-sheet measurements, it is recommended that the upper and lower surfaces of each metal sheet are marked with “A” and “B” respectively. It is further recommended that test runs with the following combinations are carried out: A-B/B-A, B-A/A-
39、B, and A-B/A-B. During a single test series, the surface position of the test pieces shall not be changed. 4.2.2 Determination of the set-up resistance The experimental set-up is used as shown in Figure 2. The set-up resistance shall be measured, as described under 4.1, after the electrodes are brou
40、ght together. The electrode speed shall not exceed 15 mm/s at contact, and the dynamic electrode force shall not exceed the set force. The set-up resistance shall be measured before and after each test series. For this purpose, the electrodes shall be prepared using emery paper with a grain size of
41、1 200, first the top electrode and then the bottom one. Any dust shall be removed using a clean, dry tissue or micro-fibre cloth. The electrodes are then brought together and the set-up resistance measured as described above. Since the set-up resistance can change during a test series due to pick-up
42、 on the working faces, the set-up resistance values shall be determined both before and after each test series. The set-up resistance for the test series is the mean value of the two measurements. 4.2.3 Measuring the total resistance A minimum of seven measurements shall be carried out at different
43、locations on each test piece (see 4.2.1). In order to make the seven measurements on each test series, the specimen shall be positioned between the electrodes and the electrode force applied. After the nominal value of the electrode force is reached, the d.c. power source is switched on and the volt
44、age drop measured after an elapsed time of (15 1) s. The location of the measuring points shall be selected such that the distance centre-to-centre and centre-to-specimen edge is greater than, or equal to, 15 mm (see Figure 3). EN ISO 18594:20076 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 3 Example for the lo
45、cation of the measuring points The test pieces shall be positioned perpendicular to the axis of the electrodes. No relative movement between the electrode working faces and the specimen surface, e.g. vibration, rotation or sliding, is permitted. The total resistance of the test series is the mean va
46、lue of a minimum of seven measurements. Since the contact resistance on a sheet or a component can vary from location to location, it is recommended that for representative results at least five test pieces are taken from different locations. 4.2.4 Determining the transition resistance The transitio
47、n resistance of a test series is the difference between the total resistance and the set-up resistance of the test series. The mean value, the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation shall be calculated in accordance with Clause 6 see Equations (6), (7) and (8), using the results of at l
48、east five test pieces. 5 Test equipment The mechanical system shall have a high stiffness in order to minimise a sliding of the electrode working faces. The eccentricity of the electrode axes shall not exceed 0,1 mm. The distance between the introduction of the current and the sensing clamps shall b
49、e greater than 15 mm. If electrode caps are used, the sensing clamps shall be applied to the electrodes. Instead of the separate d.c. power source and the digital voltmeter, a precision resistance meter may also be used. For details of the test equipment and set-up conditions to be used see Table 1.
