Ther

30、ngation (Explanatory Note 4):6.1.1 The elongation of wire with a nominal diametergreater than 0.0808 in. (2.052 mm) shall be determined as thepermanent increase in length due to the breaking of the wire intension. The elongation shall be measured between gage marksplaced originally 10 in. (242 mm) a

31、part upon the test specimenand expressed in percent of the original length.6.1.2 The elongation of wire with a nominal diameter equalto or less than 0.0808 in. (2.053 mm) may be determined asdescribed above or by measurements made between the jaws ofthe testing machine. When measurements are made be

32、tweenthe jaws, the zero length shall be the distance between the jawsat the start of the tension test and be as near 10 in. (254 mm)as practicable. The final length shall be the distance betweenthe jaws at the time of rupture. The fracture shall be betweengage marks or jaws of the testing machine, d

33、epending onmethod used, and not closer than 1 in. (25.4 mm) to either gagemark or jaw.6.2 ResistivityThe electrical resistivity of the materialshall be determined in accordance with Test Method B193(Explanatory Note 5).6.3 Dimensional MeasurementsDimensional measure-ments shall be made with a microm

34、eter caliper equipped witha vernier graduated in 0.0001 in. (0.0025 mm). Each coil shallbe gaged at three places, one near each end and one near themiddle. From each spool approximately 12 ft (3.7 m) shall beunreeled and the wire gaged in six places between the secondand twelfth foot from the end. T

35、he average of the measure-ments obtained shall meet the requirements of 5.3.6.4 Continuity of Coating:6.4.1 Length of SpecimensTest specimens shall each havea length of about 6 in. (152 mm). They shall be tagged ormarked to correspond with the coil, spool, or reel from whichthey were cut.6.4.2 Treat

36、ment of SpecimensThe specimens shall bethoroughly cleaned by immersion in a suitable organic solventfor at least 3 min, then removed and wiped dry with a clean,soft cloth or tissue (Precaution: Explanatory Note 6). Thespecimens thus cleaned shall be kept wrapped in a clean, drycloth or tissue until

37、tested. That part of the specimen to beimmersed in the test solution shall not be handled. Care shallbe taken to avoid abrasion by the cut ends.6.4.3 Special Solution (sp gr 1.142)A concentrated solu-tion shall be made by dissolving sodium sulfide crystals (cp) indistilled water until the solution i

38、s saturated at about 21C, andadding sufficient flowers of sulfur (in excess of 250 g/L ofsolution) to provide complete saturation, as shown by thepresence in the solution of an excess of sulfur after the solutionhas been allowed to stand for at least 24 h. The test solutionshall be made by diluting

39、a portion of the concentrated solutionwith distilled water to a specific gravity of 1.135 to 1.145 atambient temperature of 15.6 C. The sodium polysulfide testsolution should have sufficient strength to thoroughly blackena piece of clean uncoated copper wire in 5 s. The test solutionused for testing

40、 samples shall be considered exhausted if it failsto blacken a piece of clean copper as described above (Ex-planatory Note 7).6.4.4 ProcedureImmerse a length of at least 412 in. (114mm) from each of the clean specimens for 30 s in the sodiumpolysulfide solution (see 6.4.3) maintained at a temperatur

41、ebetween 15.6 and 21C. After the immersion, immediatelywash the specimens in clean water and wipe dry with a clean,soft cloth or tissue. After immersion and washing, examine thespecimens to ascertain if copper exposed through openings inthe nickel coating has been blackened by action of the sodiumpo

42、lysulfide. Examine the specimen with the normal eye againsta white background. Consider the specimens to have failed if,by such blackening, exposed copper is revealed. No attentionshall be paid to blackening within 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) of the cutend.6.5 Adherence of Coating:6.5.1 SpecimensTest specimen

43、s shall be approximately 12in. (305 mm) in length and shall be tagged or marked tocorrespond with the coil, spool, or reel from which they are cut.The specimens shall be thoroughly cleaned, if required, byimmersion in a suitable organic solvent for at least 3 min, thenremoved and dried (Precaution:

44、Explanatory Note 6). Thespecimens thus cleaned shall be kept wrapped in a clean, drycloth until tested. That part of the specimen to be immersed inthe test solution shall not be handled. Care shall be taken toavoid abrasion of the surface to be subjected to test. Wire sizes0.005 in. (0.127 mm) and s

45、maller may be cleaned afterwrapping.6.5.2 Procedure:6.5.2.1 WrappingSlowly wrap the test specimen in asuitable manner in an open helix around a wire of its owndiameter. Take care not to stretch the specimen during thewrapping operation. The spacing of the consecutive turns shallbe approximately equa

46、l to the diameter of the wire. For wiresizes 0.021 in. (0.533 mm) and smaller, use approximately sixhelical turns for the test. For wire larger than 0.021 in. (0.533mm) use approximately three turns.6.5.2.2 Immersion TestRemove the helically wrappedportion of the test specimen from the mandrel and c

47、ompletelyimmerse in the sodium polysulfide solution (see 6.4.3) for 30 sat the temperature prescribed in 6.4.4. On removal from thesodium polysulfide solution, rinse the specimen immediately inclean water and remove the excess by shaking.6.5.2.3 Examination of SpecimensExamine the outer sur-face of

48、the helically wrapped portion of the specimen undermagnification not to exceed 73 diameter. Any cracking orflaking of the coating in this area shown by blackening of thecopper area shall be cause for rejection. A grayish appearanceof the coating after immersion shall not constitute failure.B355 1136

49、.6 Weight of CoatingConformance to the weight require-ment may be determined in accordance with Test Method A. Incase of disagreement, Test Method B shall be used and theresult obtained shall be final. Test Methods A and B are givenin Appendix X1.6.7 FinishSurface-finish inspection shall be made withthe unaided eye (normal spectacles excepted).7. Conformance Criteria (Explanatory Note 6)7.1 Any lot of wire, the samples of which comply with theconformance criteria of this section, shall be considered ascomplying with the requirements of S
