Commonly usedconditions are 100 6 1C (212 6 2F) for 24 h 6 5 min.At theend of this heating period, the strip is removed, washed, andco

10、mpared with the Copper Strip Corrosion Standard.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method measures the tendency of lubricatinggrease to corrode copper under specific static conditions. Itmay be of some value in predicting possible chemical attack onlubricated parts, such as bearings that contain c

11、opper or copperalloys. Such corrosion, for example, can cause prematurebearing failures. However, no correlations with actual fieldservice, most of which are under dynamic conditions, havebeen established. It does not measure either the ability of thelubricant to inhibit copper corrosion caused by f

12、actors otherthan the lubricant itself nor does it measure the stability of thegrease in the presence of copper.NOTE 1Because this test method requires the ability to determinesubtle differences in color of copper strips, persons with certain types ofcolor blindness may find it difficult to accuratel

Any convenienttype of holder (see Appendix X1 on Optional Useful Equip-ment in Test Method D130) may be used, provided that thestrip is held tightly and that the surface of the strip beingpolished is supported above the surface of the holder.6.5 Viewing Te

20、st TubesFlat glass test tubes may be used toprotect corroded strips for close inspection or storage. (SeeAppendix X1 on Optional Useful Equipment in Test MethodD130.)6.6 Copper Strip Corrosion Standardconsists of repro-ductions in color of typical strips representing degrees oftarnish and corrosion,

21、 the reproductions being encased inplastic in the form of a plaque.6.6.1 Keep the plastic-encased printed Copper Strip Corro-sion Standard protected from light to avoid the possibility offading. Inspect for fading by comparing two different plaques,one of which has been carefully protected from ligh

22、t (new).Observe both sets in diffused daylight (or equivalent), firstfrom a point directly above and then from an angle ofapproximately 45. If any evidence of fading is observed,particularly at the left end of the plaque, it is suggested that theone that is the more faded with respect to the other b

23、ediscarded.6.6.1.1 Alternatively, place a 20-mm (34 in.) opaque strip(masking tape) across the top of the colored portion of theplaque when initially purchased. At intervals, remove theopaque strip and observe. If there is any evidence of fading ofthe exposed portion, it is suggested that the standa

They have been printed on aluminum sheets by afour-color process and are encased in plastic for protection.Directions for their use are given on the reverse side of eachplaque.6.6.2 If the surface of the plastic cover s

25、hows excessivescratching, it is suggested that the plaque be replaced.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 AcetoneAmerican Chemical Society Reagent Gradeacetone is suitable. (WarningExtremely flammable. Harm-ful if inhaled. Vapors may cause flash fires.)7.2 Copper StripsUse strips 12.5 6 2mm(12 6116 in.)wid

26、e, 1.5 to 3.0 mm (116 to18 in.) thick, cut 75 6 5mm(3614 in.) long from smooth-surfaced, hard-temper, cold-finishedcopper of 99.9 + % purity; electrical bus bar stock is generallysuitable. (See Appendix X1 on Optional Useful Equipment inTest Method D130.) The strips may be used repeatedly butshould

27、be discarded when the surfaces become deformed onhandling.7.3 Polishing MaterialsSilicon carbide grit paper of vary-ing degrees of fineness, including 65-m (240-grit) paper orcloth, also a supply of 105-m (150-mesh) silicon carbide grainand absorbent cotton (cotton wool).7.4 Wash SolventVolatile, su

28、lfur-free hydrocarbon solventmay be used provided that it shows no tarnish at all when testedat 50 6 1C (or 122 6 2F). Knock test-grade isooctane(Warningsee 8.1.2) or American Chemical Society ReagentGrade n-heptane (Warningsee 7.1) are suitable solvents.Because of possible toxic effects, the use of

29、 benzene should beavoided.8. Preparation of Strip8.1 Mechanical Cleaning of Strips:8.1.1 Surface PreparationRemove all surface blemishesfrom all six sides of the strip with silicon carbide paper of suchdegrees of fineness as are needed to accomplish the desiredresults efficiently. Finish with 65-m (

30、240-grit) silicon carbidepaper or cloth, removing all marks that may have been made byother grades of paper used previously. Immerse the strip inwash solvent (Warningsee 7.1.) from which it can bewithdrawn immediately for final polishing or in which it can bestored for future use.8.1.1.1 As a practi

31、cal manual procedure for surface prepa-ration, place a sheet of the paper on a flat surface, moisten itwith wash solvent, and rub the strip against the paper with arotary motion, protecting the strip from contact with the fingersor by wearing impervious gloves (see Note 2). Alternatively,the surface

32、 of the strip may be prepared by use of motor-drivenmachines using appropriate grades of dry paper or cloth.NOTE 2Disposable polyethylene is one type of glove that has beenfound to be satisfactory. However, any type of glove that is impervious tothe reagents and materials used in this test method, w

33、hile preventingfingers from contacting the strip directly, may also be used.8.1.2 Final PolishingRemove strip from the wash sol-vent. Holding it in the fingers protected with the ashless filterpaper, polish first the ends and then the sides with the 105-m(150-mesh) silicon carbide grains picked up f

34、rom a clean glassplate with a pad of cotton (cotton wool) moistened with a dropof wash solvent. Wipe vigorously with fresh pads of cotton(cotton wool) and subsequently handle only when wearingimpervious gloves (see Note 2) or with stainless steel forceps;do not touch with naked fingers. Clamp the st

35、rip in a vise, andpolish the main surfaces with silicon-carbide grains on absor-bent cotton. Rub in the direction of the long axis of the strip,carrying the stroke beyond the end of the strip before reversingthe direction. Clean all metal dust from the strip beforereversing the direction. Clean all

36、metal dust from the strip byrubbing vigorously with clean pads of absorbent cotton until afresh pad remains unsoiled. When the strip is clean, immedi-ately immerse it in the prepared sample. (WarningForcepscan scratch copper, affecting the results.)8.1.2.1 It is important to polish the whole surface

37、 of the stripuniformly to obtain a uniformly stained strip. If the edges showD4048 102wear (surface elliptical), they will likely show more corrosionthan the center. The use of a vise will facilitate uniformpolishing.9. Procedure9.1 Place about 60 mL (about 50 to 70 g, depending on itsspecific gravi

38、ty) of grease sample into the bottom of a cleantest jar (see 6.1). Bring the depth of the grease to about 80 mm(3.2 in.). Tap the grease down into the jar carefully. Smooth thetop to give a relatively flat surface. Wipe excess grease off thejar walls.9.2 To prevent touching the strip with fingers, w

39、ear imper-vious gloves (see Note 2) or use stainless steel forceps; andinsert cleaned copper strip into the grease until it touches thebottom of the tube and is completely immersed and covered byat least 5 mm (0.2 in.) of grease.9.3 Cover the jar(s) loosely with a beaker, crucible, watchglass, or ve

40、nted cork (see 6.2).9.4 Place the jar(s) in an oven or liquid bath so that they aresupported approximately vertical. Regulate the oven or liquidbath to maintain a specified temperature for a specified periodof time. Commonly used conditions are 100 6 1C (212 62F) for 24 h 6 5 min.9.5 At the end of t

41、he test period, remove the jar(s) from theoven or liquid bath and allow them to cool to room tempera-ture.9.6 Strip Examination:9.6.1 Wearing impervious gloves (see Note 2), or usingstainless steel forceps, remove the strip from the grease, andcarefully remove excess grease clinging to the strip. Ta

42、ke carenot to disturb the tarnish on the strip, and immediately immerseit in wash solvent. Withdraw the strip at once, dry withquantitative filter paper by blotting and not by wiping, andinspect, in diffused daylight (or equivalent), for evidence oftarnishing or corrosion by comparison with the Copp

43、er StripCorrosion Standard. Hold both the test strip and the standardstrip plaque in such a manner that light reflected from them atan angle of approximately 45 will be observed.NOTE 3It has been suggested that a very light grease may be blottedoff the strip with filter paper or a laboratory wiper.

44、Heavier greases mayrequire wiping or removal with a plastic, rubber, or stainless steel spatula.However the grease is removed from the strip, exercise care not to disturbthe tarnish or corrosion on the strip.9.6.2 In handling the test strip during the inspection andcomparison, the danger of marking

45、or staining can be avoidedif it is inserted in a flat tube (see Appendix X1 on OptionalUseful Equipment in Test Method D130), which can bestoppered with absorbent cotton.10. Interpretation10.1 Interpret the corrosiveness of the sample according tohow the appearance of the test strip agrees with one

46、of thestrips of the Copper Strip Corrosion Standard.10.1.1 When a strip is in the obvious transition statebetween that indicated by any two adjacent standard strips,judge the sample by the more tarnished standard strip. Shoulda strip appear to have a darker orange color than standard strip1b, consid

47、er the observed strip as still belonging in thisClassification 1b; however, if any evidence of red color isnoticed, the observed strip belongs in Classification 2.10.1.2 A claret red 2a strip can be mistaken for a 3a strip, ifthe brassy underlay of the 3a strip is completely masked by amagenta overt

48、one. To distinguish between them, immerse thestrip in acetone (Warningsee 7.1). A 2a strip will appear asa 1b strip, while a 3a strip will not change.10.1.3 To distinguish a 2c strip from a 3b strip, place it in a20-mm by 150-mm test tube, and bring it to a temperature of315 to 370C (600 to 700F) in

49、 four to six minutes using a hotplate. Adjust the temperature by observing an ASTM hightemperature distillation thermometer inserted in a second testtube lying on the hot plate. A 2c strip will assume the color ofa 2d strip and successive stages of tarnish, while a 3b strip willtake on the appearance of a 4a strip.10.1.4 Repeat the test if blemishes due to fingerprints or dueto spots from any water droplets or entrained air that may havetouched the test strip during the test period or from otherunknown causes are observed.
