Protocol 1 (test to fracture)determines the greatest perpendicular force (in tension) that asurface area can bear before a plug of material is detached.Protocol

4、 2 (pass/fail) determines if the coated surface remainsintact at a defined load criteria. Fracture will occur along theweakest plane within the system comprised of the test fixture,glue, coating system, and substrate, and will be exposed by thefracture surface. This test method maximizes tensile str

19、ical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.13. Summary of Test Method3.1 The general pull-off test is performed by securing aloading fixture (dolly, stud) normal (perpendicular) to thesurface of the coating with a glue. After the glue is cured, atesting apparatus is attached to the loading fixture and a

20、lignedto apply tension normal to the test surface. The force applied tothe loading fixture is then gradually and uniformly increasedand monitored until either the loading fixture is detached, or aspecified load value is reached and the test terminated. The twocommon uses of this test are test to fra

21、cture (Protocol 1), andpass/fail testing (Protocol 2). Test to fracture is used todetermine a maximum load that can be achieved when a plugof material is detached with the selected testing parameters.Pass/fail is used to verify the results of a testing procedure canmeet a minimum load criterion. Whe

22、n the loading fixture isdetached, the exposed surface represents the plane of limitingstrength within the system. The nature of the plane of fractureis qualified in accordance with the percent of adhesive andcohesive failures, and the actual interfaces and layers involved.The reported load is comput

23、ed based on the maximum indi-cated load, the instrument calibration data, and the originalsurface area stressed. Results obtained using different testdevices will vary because the results depend on instrumenta-tion parameters. Variations in results are also expected whentests are performed under dif

24、ferent test procedures or environ-mental conditions (see 4.2).4. Significance and Use4.1 The pull-off strength of a coating is a performanceproperty that may be referenced in specifications. This testmethod serves as a means for uniformly preparing and testingcoated surfaces, and evaluating and repo

25、rting the results. Thistest method is applicable to any portable apparatus meeting therequirements for determining the pull-off strength of a coatingin this standard (see Annexes).4.2 Variations in results with the same coating are likelywhen any parameter of the test is changed. This includeschange

26、 in glue, load fixture size, substrate coating cure time,pull rate, environmental conditions, if the coating is scored, orusing a different device. Therefore, when a series of results willbe compared with one another or used for statistical analysis,the type of apparatus, substrate, test procedures,

27、 glue type, andif scoring is used should be the same for the pulls considered.4It is recommended that these parameters and the environmentalconditions allowed during the test be mutually agreed uponbetween the interested parties.4.3 The purchaser or specifier shall designate a specific testmethod pr

28、ocedure; B, C, D, E, or F and test Protocol; 1, or 2,when calling out this standard. In cases where either theProtocol or a pass/fail criterion is not designated, Protocol 1shall be used.5. Apparatus5.1 Adhesion Tester, commercially available, or comparableapparatus to the specific examples listed i

29、n Annex A1 AnnexA5.5.1.1 Loading Fixtures, having a flat surface on one end thatcan be adhered to the coating and a means of attachment to thetester on the other end. Optimal size of the loading fixture isdetermined by the adhesion tester capabilities. The fixture andtester combination should be cho

30、sen so that the expectedmaximum pull load the coating will be subjected to during thetest is within the range of the tester.5.1.2 Detaching Assembly (adhesion tester), having a cen-tral grip for engaging the fixture.5.1.3 Base, on the detaching assembly, or an annular bearingring if needed for unifo

31、rmly pressing against the coatingsurface around the fixture either directly, or by way of anintermediate bearing ring. A means of aligning the base isneeded so that the resultant force is normal to the surface.5.1.4 Means of moving the grip away from the base to allowthe loading of the fixture in as

32、 smooth and uniform a manneras possible and so that a torsion free, co-axial (opposing pull ofthe grip and push of the base along the same axis) force resultsbetween them.5.1.5 Timer, or means of limiting the loading rate. A timer isthe minimum equipment when used by the operator along withthe force

33、 indicator in 5.1.6.5.1.6 Force Indicator and Calibration Information, fordetermining the actual force delivered to the loading fixture.5.2 Solvent, or other means for cleaning the loading fixturesurface. Finger prints, moisture, oxides, and dust tend to be theprimary contaminants.5.3 Sandpaper, or

34、other means, used to roughen the surfacesfor glue application and adherence to the coating. When usingsandpaper it is recommended to use 100 grit or finer.5.4 Gluethe material used for securing the loading fixtureto the coating. Two component epoxies and cyanoacrylates aretwo commonly used glues. Se

35、lect a glue that does not affect thecoating properties, flow through the coating or attack thecoating.5.5 Clamps, magnetic, mechanical, tape or similar, if neededfor holding the fixture in place while the glue cures.5.6 Cotton Swabs, or other means for removing excess glueand defining the adhered ar

36、ea. Any method for removingexcess glue that damages the surface, such as scoring (see 6.7),must generally be avoided since induced surface flaws maycause premature failure of the coating.5.7 Scoring Tool, circular hole cutter, or similar tool to scorethrough to the substrate around the loading fixtu

37、re.6. Test Preparation6.1 The method for selecting the coating sites to be preparedfor testing depends upon the objectives of the test andagreements between the contracting parties. There are,however, a few physical restrictions imposed by the generalmethod and apparatus. The following requirements

38、apply to allsites:4Reference to potential variability of the adhesion test has been made in variouspublications, including the assessment of variability completed for the test methodfound in ASTM Research Report RR:D01-1147.D4541 1726.1.1 The selected test area must be large enough to accom-modate t

39、he specified number of replicate tests. The surface mayhave any orientation with reference to gravitational pull. Eachloading fixture must be separated by at least the distanceneeded to accommodate the detaching apparatus. For Protocol1 or to statistically characterize a test area, three or morerepl

40、ications are required.6.1.2 The selected test areas must also have enough perpen-dicular and radial clearance to accommodate the apparatus, beflat enough to permit alignment, and be rigid enough to supportthe counter force. It should be noted that measurements closeto an edge may not be representati

41、ve of the coating as a whole.6.2 Since the rigidity of the substrate affects results of thetest and is not a controllable test variable in fieldmeasurements, some knowledge of the substrate thickness andcomposition should be reported for subsequent analysis orlaboratory comparisons. For example, ste

42、el substrate of lessthan 3.2 mm (18 in.) thickness usually reduces test resultscompared to 6.4 mm (14-in.) thick steel substrates.6.3 Subject to the requirements of 6.1, select representativetest areas and clean the surfaces in a manner that will not affectintegrity of the coating or leave a residue

43、. To reduce the risk ofglue fracture affecting the test, the surface of the coating can belightly abraded to promote adhesion of the glue to the surface.If the surface is abraded, care must be taken to preventsignificant loss of coating thickness. Clean the area to removeparticulates after abrading.

44、 Use of a solvent may be necessaryto remove all contaminants. If a solvent is required, select onethat does not compromise the integrity of the coating.6.4 Clean the loading fixture surface as indicated by theapparatus manufacturer. Failures at the fixture-glue interfacecan often be avoided by treat

45、ing the fixture surfaces inaccordance with an appropriate ASTM standard practice forpreparing metal surfaces for glue bonding.NOTE 4Guides D2651 and D3933 are typical of well-proven methodsfor improving adhesive bond strengths to metal surfaces.6.5 Prepare the glue in accordance with the glue manufa

46、c-turers recommendations. Apply the glue to the fixture or thesurface to be tested, or both, using a method and thicknessrecommended by the glue manufacturer. Be certain to apply theglue across the entire fixture surface. Position the fixture on thesurface to be tested. Carefully remove any excess g

47、lue fromaround the fixture. (WarningMovement, especially twisting,can cause tiny bubbles to coalesce into large holidays thatconstitute stress discontinuities during testing which may leadto glue fracture.)6.6 Based on the glue manufacturers recommendations andthe anticipated environmental condition

48、s, allow enough timefor the glue to cure. During the glue set and early cure stage,a constant contact pressure should be maintained on the fixture.Magnetic or mechanical clamping systems work well, butsystems relying on tack, such as masking tape, should be usedwith care to ensure that they do not r

49、elax with time and allowair to intrude between the fixture and the test area.6.7 When scoring around the test surface is agreed uponbetween the purchaser and seller, extreme care is required toprevent micro-cracking in the coating or glue, since suchcracks may cause reduced values. Scored samples constitute adifferent test procedure, and should be clearly reported with theresults. Scoring may be required for thick-film coatings,reinforced coatings and elastomeric coatings. Scoring, ifperformed, can be completed before or after the load fixture isglued to the coating. Wh
