1、Designation: D 6906 03Standard Test Method forDetermination of Titanium Treatment Weight on MetalSubstrates by X-Ray Fluorescence1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6906; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of rev

2、ision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the use of X-ray fluorescence(XRF) techniques for determination of the coa

3、ting weight oftitanium treatments on metal substrates. These techniques areapplicable for determination of the coating weight as titaniumor total coating weight of a titanium containing treatment, orboth, on a variety of metal substrates.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety

4、 concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Summary of Practice2.1 ExcitationThe measurement of titanium treatmentcoat

5、ing weights by XRF methods is based on the combinedinteraction of the titanium coating and the substrate with anintense beam of primary radiation. Since each element fluo-resces at an energy characteristic of the particular element, thisinteraction results in the generation of X-rays of definedenerg

6、y. The primary radiation may be generated by an X-raytube or derived from a radioisotope.2.2 DetectionThe secondary beam (fluorescent X-rays ofthe elements and scattered radiation) is read by a detector thatcan discriminate between the energy levels of fluorescingradiations in the secondary beam. Th

7、e detection system in-cludes the radiation detector with electronics for pulse ampli-fication and pulse counting.2.3 Basic Principle:2.3.1 A relationship exists between the treatment coatingweight and secondary radiation intensity. This relationship isusually linear within the desired coating weight

8、s of thetitanium treatments on metal substrates. The measurements arebased on primary standards of known coating weights andinstrument calibration that correlates the secondary radiationintensity with the coating weight quantitatively.2.3.2 The coating weight is determined by measurement ofthe fluor

9、escent X-rays of the coating. The detection system isset to count the number of X-rays in an energy region that ischaracteristic of X-rays from the element of interest. Theelement of interest in this practice is titanium.2.3.3 If a linear relationship exists, the coating weight andnumber of counts o

10、f X-rays of a chromium treatment on aparticular substrate can be expressed by a conversion factorthat represents the number of counts for a particular coatingweight unit/unit area. This is usually expressed in mg/ft2ormg/m2of titanium or total coating weight.2.3.4 The exact relationship between the

11、measured numberof counts and the corresponding coating weight must beestablished for each individual combination of substrate andtitanium-containing treatment. Usually determined by the treat-ment supplier, this relationship is established by using primarystandards having known amounts of the same t

12、reatment appliedto the same substrate composition as the specimens to bemeasured.2.3.5 Some X-ray apparatuses have a data handling systemwhereby a coating weight versus X-ray counts curve may beestablished within the system for the direct readout of coatingweight. If such apparatus does not permit t

13、he entry of aconversion factor as described in 2.3.3, it is calibrated using abare, untreated specimen and a minimum of three specimenswith known coating weights of the treatment and substratecombination of interest. The coating weight to be measuredmust be within the range of these known coating we

14、ights. Morethan three known specimens must be used if the relationship ofX-ray counts to coating weight is not linear over the range tobe measured. The treatment supplier should be consulted forrecommendations for establishing the curve in the instrumentfor the particular treatment and substrate com

Significance and Use3.1 The procedure described in this test method is designedto provide a method by which the coating weight of titaniumtreatments on metal substrates may be determined.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coat

17、thod is applicable for determination of thetotal coating weight and the titanium coating weight of atitanium-containing treatment.4. Apparatus and Materials4.1 Measuring Instrument,2which is capable of determiningthe coating weights of chromium-containing treatments onmetal substrates by X-ray fluor

18、escence is required. The treat-ment supplier should be consulted for the suitability of theinstrumentation to be used4.2 Calibration Standard,3necessary to calibrate the instru-ment. The count value of this standard must be specified by thetreatment supplier.4.3 Treated Coupon, on which the coating

19、weight is to bedetermined must be cut to the required size for the instrumentfrom the treated substrate.4.4 Blank (Bare and Untreated) Coupon should be asample of the same metal substrate on which the treatmentcoating weight is to be determined. It may be necessary toprepare a blank coupon from a tr

20、eated sample if an untreatedcoupon is not available. To best imitate a bare, untreated blank,abrade a treated coupon that is from the same metal specimenas the test specimen using a small abrasive pad.44.4.1 The first abrading is made parallel with the rollingdirection of the metal, the second abrad

21、ing is made perpen-dicular to the rolling direction of the metal, and the thirdabrading is made parallel with the rolling direction of themetal. This procedure should be repeated until constant read-ings are obtained. Always use the same side of the metalsubstrate from which the readings of the trea

22、ted coupon will betaken.5. Test Specimens5.1 All test specimens must be flat in the area of measure-ment and free of burrs and distortions that would preventproper seating in the specimen holder.5.2 The treatment on the substrate must be uniform in thearea of measurement.5.3 The area of measurement

23、must be maintained free offoreign materials. The specimen must be handled only by theedges that are outside of the area to be measured.5.4 The coated area of the specimen must be larger than themeasuring area.6. Procedure6.1 Operate the instrument in accordance with the manufac-turers instructions.6

24、.2 Set the instrument settings as follows:Dial and arm titanium positionSeconds indicator pretreatment supplierMultiplier switch pretreatment supplierResponse switch pretreatment supplierRange pretreatment supplierMilliamps adjust for calibration of outputpretreatment supplier6.3 All specimens must

25、be seated firmly and securely overthe measuring opening. The distance between the measuringapparatus and specimen must be maintained the same as thatduring the calibration. The blank and treated specimens mustbe placed in the holder so that the rolling direction of the metalis in the same orientatio

26、n. Whenever a sample tray holder is apart of the apparatus, the same opening of the slide must beused for the blank and treated specimen unless the openingshave been determined to produce equivalent results. If it isnecessary to use a backer to hold the test specimen firmlyagainst the window, make s

27、ure that the backer is of untreatedcoupons of the same metal as the specimen. The same backermust be used for each set of measurements.6.4 Insert the titanium calibration standard that has beenrecommended by the treatment supplier into the instrument,and obtain a count. Adjust the current with the c

28、ontrol knob onthe probe until the count value is within 60.50 % of the countsprovided by the treatment supplier with each titanium calibra-tion standard.6.5 Obtain the counts of a blank.6.6 Obtain the counts of the treated specimen.6.7 Consult the instrument manufacturers instructionmanuals for cali

29、brating and operating procedures if the X-rayapparatus has a data handling system for direct readout ofcoating weights.7. Calculation7.1 Use 7.2-7.5 for calculating the coating weight if anautomated data handling system is not available.7.2 The average of a minimum of three readings of both theblank

30、 and treated specimen is used to calculate the coatingweight.7.3 Calculate the delta (D) counts by subtracting the countsof the blank from the counts of the treated specimen.7.4 The coating weight is calculated by dividing the Dcounts by the conversion factor that is supplied by thetreatment supplie
