Summary of Test Method4.1 The first attempt to measure stress values in applied coatings was

24、the bent strip method, wherein a coating of knownthickness was applied to a strip of flat stock material having a known modulus of elasticity, length, width, and thickness. In thetest, one end of the strip was held in a fixed position and one end could bend. The degree of bend experienced by the tes

25、t stripwas then measured. Equations were proposed by Stoney, Barklie, and Davies,Davies; Houssner, Balden, and Morse, Morse; andBrenner and Senderoff for this method of measurement to calculate the internal deposit stress that was sufficient to cause deflectionof the flat stock material.4.2 Later me

26、thods include the use of flat stock material formed into a helix that contracts or expands as a stressed coating isapplied to the base material (spiral contractometer as described in United States Patent 4,086,154) and a disk formed from flat stockmaterial that bows outward or inward as a stressed c

27、oating is applied to the base material (stress meter).4.3 The deposit stress analyzer method for determining the internal stress value of a given coatingplating uses bent striptechnology and the formulas devised for calculation of results applicable to this approach.Aspecific test piece comprises a

28、selectedmetallic material that exhibits spring-like properties with specified dimensions that define an end area split to give two legs (seeFig. 1). These test strips are coated with a resist, to prevent deposition,deposition on the front of one leg and the back side of theother leg and on both side

29、s above where the legs divide, leaving a space uncoated at the top for the purpose of making electricalcontact to the test piece during the plating process. As a test piece is plated, the legs bend to relieve the stress that is induced asdeposition occurs. Tensile stress bends the test strip legs wi

30、th the plated deposit on the outside, while compressive stress bendsthe test strip legs with the resist on the outside. See Fig. 2. Each test is performed at specific operating conditions that are usuallyselected to approximate the conditions for parts being processed in production mode.B975 1824.3.

31、1 The internal deposit stress is calculated based on the total number of increments deflection observed from tip to tip afterplating. This value is determined as the test strip is suspended above a measuring stand. See Fig. 3. Results are calculated by useof a simple deposit stress analyzer formula

32、expressed in pounds per square inch. See Eq 2 and Eq 3.5. Significance and Use5.1 Internal stress in applied coatings exhibits potential to cause a breakdown of resistance to corrosion and erosion as a resultof the formation of fractures from micro-cracking and macro-cracking within the applied coat

33、ing. This phenomenon can also causeblistering, peeling, reduction of fatigue strength, and loss. The resulting stress can be tensile in nature, causing the deposit tocontract, or compressive in nature, causing the deposit to expand.FIG. 1 Test Strip Parameters1 in. = 2.54 cmFIG. 2 Deposit Stress Ana

34、lyzer Measuring StandCompressive and Tensile Stressed Test StripsB975 1835.2 To maintain quality assurance by the bent strip method, it is necessary to monitor production processes for acceptable levelsof internal deposit stress in applied coatings. Note that the highest value of the internal deposi

35、t stress as obtained on astress-versus-coating-thicknessstress-versus-plating-thickness curve is usually the truest value of the internal deposit stress. Mostlow values are false. Initial values tend to be lower than the actual value because of the effect of stock material edge burrs andthe resistan

36、ce of the stock material to bending. Excessive deposit thickness causes lower-than-true valuesvalue since the coatingoverpowers and changes the initial modulus of elasticity of the test piece, which becomes more difficult to bend as the coatingcontinues to build upon it. This phenomenon can be corre

37、cted considerably by use of a formula that compensates for modulus ofelasticity differences between the deposit and the substrate materials, but it does remain a factor. See Eq 2.6. Apparatus6.1 Deposit Stress Analyzer Measuring StandThis stand has a scale over which a test strip is suspended to det

38、ermine theincrements of spread as the value of U between the test strip leg tips caused by the induced deposit stress. See Fig. 24. See Eq1 and Eq 2.6.2 On site In-site Plating Device for In-TankIn-tank or Laboratory Bench Plating (External Anodes)This device does nothold a plating bath. It is a 10.

39、875 in. (2.22 cm) diameter, cylindrical tube that is designed with an adjustable bracket to enableplacement of the cell in a working tank as a permanently mounted fixture. It is also amenable to laboratory studies where smallsolution volumes are advantageous. See Fig. 43. This device supports a sing

40、le test strip during the deposition process. Toelectroplate a test strip, the existing tank anodes may be used for the test if they are of similar composition and size and are locatedequally distant and parallel to the device open ports. Using a rectifier that is separate from the power supply used

41、to plate the parts,connect the positive outletlead to each of the two selected tank anodes, and the negative outletlead to the top of the test strip atthe crossbar that extends over the top of the device. The bottom of the device is sufficiently closed to prevent the test strip fromdropping through.

42、 It is critical that the test strip legs do not pass through the side openings as a test strip is placed inside the device.Adjust the test strip into position against the bottom of the device and approximately 4 in. (10 cm) below the solution level. A 0-1to 0-2 amp output constant amperage, amperage

43、 and constant voltage power supply is recommended to control the amperageaccurately. The negative lead from a power supply is then connected to the test strip at the crossbar located at the top of the device.When using deposition conditions similar to work that is processed in the work tank, the str

44、ess measurement result will representthe condition of the work being processed. The device may also be used on a laboratory table in a container for a plating bath assmall as 400 mL in which two small nickel anodes are positioned each across from a celldevice side opening. See Fig. 43. Thisbecomes h

45、elpful and economical when the plating solution is undergoing laboratory studies in regard to additions of multipleadditives, particularly if precious metals are involved. In-tank deposit stress testing yields similar results to those determined ona laboratory bench setup when the test parameters ar

46、e similar. However, the deposit stress will vary over a given part, particularlyover parts that are electroformed where the low-current density area deposits usually exhibit the highest deposit stress. In suchcases, the determined deposit stress becomes an approximate average value that serves as a

47、quality control procedure.FIG. 3 In-site 1 Plating DeviceB975 1846.3 Cells for In-TankIn-tank Plating or Laboratory Bench Plating (Internal Anodes)When agitation and solution temperatureare not needed for tests, a test plating cell that includes two anodes of similar size and composition at an equal

48、 distance from thetest piece is recommended. When solution agitation and elevated bath temperature are required, a two-section cell could be usedwhere one side has a pump and heater. Cells with open low side ports would permit immersion into a working bath allowing thecell to fill as it is being low

49、ered. The test strip mustshall have its own power supply. In these cells, a test strip is suspended at thecenter of the cell by clipping it its top end to a stainless steel cross support bar. Two anodes 238 238 18 1/8 in. (5 5 in. (6 6 0.3 cm) are positioned along the end of the cell walls where anode pockets are attached. These cells can be designed to behung directly in a working tank or they could be used in a laboratory setup.6.4 AnodesWhen using the deposit stress analyzer method to evaluate the internal deposit stress by electroplating a
