7、f Test Method3.1 Copper coupon samples of a well-defined size areprepared and each is labeled for identification. All suchcoupons are cleaned by a standard process. Each coupon isweighed and the value is recorded. All coupons are exposed tothe corrosion test for a specified time. The coupons areremo

8、ved from the test and weighed and the new values arerecorded. The change in weight for each coupon is calculated.The coupons are subjected to additional analysis as appropriateto determine the composition and thickness of any filmspresent on the surface.4. Significance and Use4.1 Electrical devices

9、that contain electrical contacts gener-ally contain some copper-based materials. Atmospheric corro-sion of copper parts in such devices often occurs in serviceenvironments. A quantitative measure of the effect of alaboratory corrosion test on copper permits assessment of theseverity of the test. In

10、addition, corrosion tests may be definedin terms of their effect on copper; this test method provides away of comparing one test against a standard defined else-where, or allows a comparison of the performance of a testover a period of time. Although this test method provides for arelatively simple

11、check of a test, the user is advised thatadditional analysis of the test chamber ambient is generallyrequired to reproduce test conditions.4.2 Atmospheric corrosion tests are used on a variety ofmaterials besides copper. Care should be exercised in drawingconclusions about the effects on such materi

12、als of apparentlyequivalent tests if the composition of gases or experimentalconditions are different. The primary use of this calibration testmethod is to assure correlation among nominally identicaltests.5. Apparatus5.1 Racks or Fixtures suitable for holding the copper cou-pons in the test chamber

13、 are required. Make these fixtures froma material that is not attacked by the corrosion test. The fixturesshall be designed to:5.1.1 Hold the coupons in a vertical orientation,5.1.2 Hold the coupons so that they do not show anyperceptible motion when observed with the unaided eye duringthe test,5.1.

14、3 Cover less than 5 % of the entire coupon surface area,5.1.4 Touch the coupon only with electrically insulatingparts and,1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B02 onNonferrous Metals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeB02.11 on Electrical Contact Test

17、e coupon.5.2 In general, design all parts of the fixture to permitmaximum circulation of the ambient around the couponsurfaces. The size and positioning of the holding fixturesdepends on the chamber size. Section 7 of this test methodgives requirements on the number and spacing of coupons; theholdin

18、g fixtures must be designed to comply with theserequirements.5.3 Balance, with a capacity of at least 2 g and a resolutionof 5 g is required. Maintain the ambient in the vicinity of thebalance between 20 and 50 % relative humidity.5.4 Fume Hood, to conduct the chemical cleaning procedureof the coupo

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society3where such specifications

20、 are available. Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7. Procedure7.1 Use the requirements listed in 7.1.1 through 7.1.3 todetermine the number of copper coupon spe

21、cimens to beprepared.7.1.1 For chambers with cubic working volumes, use thelength of an edge to determine the number and placement ofcoupons in accordance with the following rules. For chamberswith an edge dimension of 0.9 m or less, construct a referencegrid with three equally spaced lines in each

22、direction with theouter lines 0.1 m from the chamber wall and the third linecentered between the outer lines. Place a coupon at eachintersection of grid lines (27 coupons required). For chamberswith an edge dimension of 0.9 m to 1.4 m, construct a referencegrid with four equally spaced lines in each

23、 direction. The outerlines are placed 0.1 m from the chamber wall. Place a couponat each intersection of grid lines (64 coupons required). Forchambers with a maximum edge dimension greater than 1.4 mbut less than 2.0 m, construct a reference grid with five equallyspaced lines in each direction. The

24、outer lines are placed 0.1 mfrom the chamber wall. Place a coupon at each intersection ofgrid lines (125 coupons required).7.1.2 For rectangular chambers with non-cubic workingvolumes, the guidelines for each dimension of the chamberalong the x, y, and z axes of the chamber shall follow theappropria

25、te guidelines applied to cubic chambers. Thus, if thex and z axes are 1.5 m and the y axis is 0.8 m, four grid lineswould be used for the x and z axes and 3 grid lines would beused for the y axis when determining the grid for couponlocation.7.1.3 For chambers with working volumes of other shapesthan

26、 those covered in the preceding sections, devise a logicalplacement pattern with a coupon density roughly equal to thatspecified for rectangular chambers.7.2 Select an appropriate duration of exposure for thecopper coupons. Base this selection primarily upon the timerequired for the test ambient to

27、produce a statistically signifi-cant weight change. Additional exposure time may be added tocomply with other applicable requirements, specifications,agreements, etc., or for the convenience of the test operators, orboth. Generally, the test time shall be one or more whole dayswith a tolerance of 61

28、h.7.3 Prepare the test coupons from wrought, annealed,oxygen-free copper (99.95 % copper minimum, copper alloyC10200) sheet. Select a thickness of sheet sufficiently stiff toresist bending during handling during the test but not so thickthat the edges become a significant portion of the surface area

29、.In general, thicknesses between 0.1 and 0.6 mm are recom-mended. Obtain material with a surface roughness less than0.15 m center line average and use the material with theas-rolled surface finish. Make the coupons, squares or rect-angles preferably 12.5 6 1.2 mm wide. One or two holes 2.5mm or less

30、 in diameter may be added to aid in mounting.Inspect the edges of the coupons at 103 magnification for thepresence of burrs or slivers. If such features are found, theymust be removed since they may corrode at a much higher ratethan the coupon surface.7.4 Mark all coupons with a code giving each cou

31、pon aunique identification. Make the characters in the code markingabout 2 mm high by engraving or stamping without ink.7.5 During the cleaning procedure and at all times aftercleaning, handle coupons only with clean tweezers grasping inthe region around the identification marking. Place each copper

32、coupon in a separate clean, dry glass vial of an appropriate sizesuch that only the edges and corners of the coupons touch theglass surfaces.7.6 Clean all coupons in accordance with either of the twoprocedures given in 7.6.1 through 7.6.2.5. Where a liquid bathis required, fill an appropriate vessel

33、 to a depth equal to orgreater than 25 mm plus the largest dimension of the couponsample to be cleaned. Unless otherwise directed, change thefluid in all baths after 50 coupons have been processed. Unlessotherwise directed, use all baths at room temperature.(WarningConduct all operations involving a

34、cids and sol-vents in a fume hood. Please be careful of N-Hexane. It isextremely flammable.)(WarningDispose of all acids andsolvents in a safe, legally acceptable manner.)NOTE 1The goal of Cleaning Methods 1 and 2 are to produce acoupon surface reasonably free of oils, greases, particulate debris an

35、doxides. Alternative cleaning methods which achieve the same result areacceptable. See the Appendix X1 for an example of comparison cleaningmethod research.

Also, wait long enough so that at least 60 min has elapsedfrom the time

44、that cleaning procedure was completed until theweighing begins. Weigh each coupon individually, replacingeach in its glass vial after weighing. Reweigh two of thecoupons to check for reproducibility. If the second weightreading does not differ by more than 1.0 g/cm2of exposedsurface area, proceed to

45、 the next step. If the readings differ bymore than the preceding requirement, reweigh all coupons andrepeat as required until stable weights are obtained.7.8 Immediately install all coupons on holding fixtures inthe corrosion test chamber. Record the time that the couponsare placed into the corrosio

48、Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionAn interlaboratory round robin involvingsix laboratories produced the following results. Each labora-tory prepared 8 or 12 coupons by the procedures specified inthis standard. All coupons from all laboratories were exposedsimultaneously for 10 days to a Guide B845 Meth

49、od G testenvironment. The mass gain on each coupon (exposed area of7.8 cm2) was measured, Table 1 summarizes the results. Theresults show that the minimum mass change within a labora-tory ranges from 56 to 71 percent of the maximum masschange for that laboratory, while, in comparing the mean masschanges for the six laboratories, the minimum is 93 percent ofthe maximum. Based on analysis of trends in mass gain withlocation, it appears that some of the difference in mass gainbetween coupons from a single laboratory came from differ-ences in corrosion rate in different locat
