1、Designation: B 533 85 (Reapproved 2009)Endorsed by AmericanElectroplaters SocietyEndorsed by NationalAssociation of Metal FinishersStandard Test Method forPeel Strength of Metal Electroplated Plastics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 533; the number immediately following the des

2、ignation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method gives two pr

3、ocedures for measuring theforce required to peel a metallic coating from a plasticsubstrate.2One procedure (Procedure A) utilizes a universaltesting machine and yields reproducible measurements that canbe used in research and development, in quality control andproduct acceptance, in the description

4、of material and processcharacteristics, and in communications. The other procedure(Procedure B) utilizes an indicating force instrument that is lessaccurate and that is sensitive to operator technique. It issuitable for process control use.1.2 The tests are performed on standard molded plaques.This

5、method does not cover the testing of production electro-plated parts.1.3 The tests do not necessarily measure the adhesion of ametallic coating to a plastic substrate because in properlyprepared test specimens, separation usually occurs in theplastic just beneath the coating-substrate interface rath

6、er thanat the interface. It does, however, reflect the degree that theprocess is controlled.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health pract

7、ices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Document2.1 ASTM Standards:3E4 Practices for Force Verification of Testing Machines3. Summary of Test Method3.1 A properly prepared standard test specimen, called aplaque, is copper electroplated, with no addi

8、tional metalcoating. The coated plaque is either tested as is, or it isconditioned by a low-temperature bake and then tested. Thecoating is cut through to the plastic substrate in a way thatforms two strips of coating (see Fig. 1). Each strip is peeledfrom the substrate at a right angle using an ins

9、trument thatindicates the force required to separate it from its substrate.4. Significance and Use4.1 The force required to separate a metallic coating from itsplastic substrate is determined by the interaction of severalfactors: the generic type and quality of the plastic moldingcompound, the moldi

10、ng process, the process used to preparethe substrate for electroplating, and the thickness and mechani-cal properties of the metallic coating. By holding all othersconstant, the effect on the peel strength by a change in any oneof the above listed factors may be noted. Routine use of the testin a pr

11、oduction operation can detect changes in any of theabove listed factors.4.2 The peel test values do not directly correlate to theadhesion of metallic coatings on the actual product.4.3 When the peel test is used to monitor the coatingprocess, a large number of plaques should be molded at onetime fro

12、m a same batch of molding compound used in theproduction moldings to minimize the effects on the measure-ments of variations in the plastic and the molding process.5. Apparatus5.1 Procedure AA tension testing machine that has self-aligning grips and that has a loading range that includes theforces t

13、o be measured, 5 to 200 N, shall be used to separate thecoating from the substrate, and measure the force required. Themachine shall meet the verification requirements of PracticesE4.4,5The speed of separation of the crossarms of the machineshall be adjusted to give a separation rate of 25 6 3 mm/mi

14、n.The machine shall automatically and continuously record on achart the load on one coordinate and the amount of peel on theother coordinate. The amount of peel may be obtained fromcalculation, using a known chart speed.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee B08 on Metallicand

The indicated force shall beaccurate to 610 %.6. Sampling6.1 A sampling procedure is not applicable to this testmethod.7. Test Specimen7.1 Perform th

20、e test using a flat, molded plastic plaque suchas shown in Fig. 1. Plaque dimensions may vary up to 610 %provided that the edges of slit peel strips are not closer than 11mm from any plaque edge.8. Conditioning8.1 Condition the electroplated plaques requiring condition-ing by baking for1hinanair-cir

21、culating oven operated at70 6 3C. Place the plaques in the oven in a way that permitsfree circulation of air around all surfaces of the plaques. Allowthe conditioned plaques to cool to room temperature and thentest them within 1 h. Test the plaques that do not requireconditioning within 30 to 60 min

22、 following the coatingprocess.NOTE 1The separation strength of an unconditioned plaque willchange with time. The separation strength of a conditioned plaque maychange with time after conditioning.9. Procedure9.1 Mold the required number of plaques using the specifiedmolding compound and molding proc

23、edure.NOTE 2When the test is used as a control of the coating process,commercially prepared plaques can be used.9.2 Clean, activate, and electroplate the plaques as speci-fied. The thickness of the metallic coating in the test area (seeFig. 1) shall be 40 6 4 m.NOTE 3It is necessary to have a ductil

24、e copper coating to perform thistest. The thickness and uniformity of thickness of the metallic coatingdirectly influence the peel strength; therefore, in order to standardize thistest, the coating thickness is specified. If a different coating thickness isused, the results will not be comparable to

25、 other test results. It may benecessary to use shielding during plating to obtain the required coatingthickness uniformity.69.3 Cut through the coating along the dashed lines shown inFig. 1, and also along the centerline so as to produce twoparallel strips of coating that are 25.00 6 0.25 mm wide an

26、dapproximately 75 mm long.NOTE 4Following are methods that can be used to cut the coating:(a) Slit the coating with a milling machine equipped with a slittingsaw.5,7Operate the saw at a peripheral speed of 300 mm/s and a feed of5 mm/s.(b) Slit with a device such as shown in Fig. 2.(c) Cut the coatin

The fixture shall support the plaque at a right angle tothe pull direction of the machine. A suitable fixture is illu

32、s-trated in Fig. 3.9.5.2 Place the plaque in the holding fixture with the tab endfacing out. Locate the plaque so that the strip to be tested iscentered over the centerline of the fixture.9.5.3 Clamp the tab in the jaws of the movable crossarm ofthe testing machine.9.5.4 Separate the strip from the

Record the peak values.9.6.5 Repeat the test using the other strip on the plaque.9.6.6 If a strip tears during separation, discontinue the test.The readings obtained up to the point of tearing may be usedif at least 25 mm of the strip were peeled before

36、the tear.9.7 Repeat the peel test with a second plaque.9.8 Examine the underside of the peeled strip and the baredarea of the plaque and determine whether the separationoccurred in the surface layers of the plaque (cohesive failure)or at the interface (adhesive failure). Plastic adhering to theunder

37、side of the strip is not always apparent to the naked eye,and therefore should be verified microscopically.9.9 Remove any plastic from the strip by means of a suitablesolvent. Acetone, for example, will remove ABS. Measure thethickness of the strip in several locations using a ball microme-ter that
