Summary of Practice3.1 ExcitationThe measurement of titanium treatmentcoating weights by WDXRF me

6、thods 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 definedenergy. The primary radiat

7、ion may be generated by an X-raytube or derived from a radioisotope.3.2 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. The detection system in

8、-cludes the radiation detector with electronics for pulse ampli-fication and pulse counting.3.3 Basic Principle:3.3.1 A relationship exists between the treatment coatingweight and secondary radiation intensity. This relationship isusually linear within the desired coating weights of thetitanium trea

9、tments 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.3.3.2 The coating weight is determined by measurement ofthe fluorescent X-rays of the

10、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.3.3.3 If a linear relationship exists, the coating weight andnumber of counts of X-rays of a titaniu

11、m 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.3.3.4 The exact relationship between the measured numberof cou

12、nts 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 treatment appliedto th

13、e same substrate composition as the specimens to bemeasured.3.3.5 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 the entry of aconversi

The coating weight to be measuredmust be within the range of these known coating weights. Morethan three

15、 known specimens must be used if the relationship ofX-ray counts to coating weight is not linear over the range to1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.53 on Coil

The treatment supplier should be

19、consulted forrecommendations for establishing the curve in the instrumentfor the particular treatment and substrate combination ofinterest.4. Significance and Use4.1 The procedure described in this test method is designedto provide a method by which the coating weight of titaniumtreatments on metal

20、substrates may be determined.4.2 This test method is applicable for determination of thetotal coating weight and the titanium coating weight of atitanium-containing treatment.5. Apparatus and Materials5.1 Measuring Instrument, which is capable of determiningthe coating weights of titanium-containing

21、 treatments on metalsubstrates by X-ray fluorescence is required. The treatmentsupplier should be consulted for the suitability of the instru-mentation to be used5.2 Calibration Standard, necessary to calibrate the instru-ment. The count value of this standard must be specified by thetreatment suppl

22、ier.5.3 Treated Coupon, on which the coating weight is to bedetermined must be cut to the required size for the instrumentfrom the treated substrate.5.4 Blank (Bare and Untreated) Coupon should be a sampleof the same metal substrate on which the treatment coatingweight is to be determined. It may be

23、 necessary to prepare ablank coupon from a treated sample if an untreated coupon isnot available. To best imitate a bare, untreated blank, abrade atreated coupon that is from the same metal specimen as the testspecimen using a small abrasive pad.5.4.1 The first abrading is made parallel with the rol

24、lingdirection of the metal, the second abrading 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 metals

25、ubstrate from which the readings of the treated coupon will betaken.6. Test Specimens6.1 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.6.2 The treatment on the substrate must be uniform in thearea

26、 of measurement.6.3 The area of measurement must be maintained free offoreign materials. The specimen must be handled only by theedges that are outside of the area to be measured.6.4 The coated area of the specimen must be larger than themeasuring area.7. Procedure7.1 Operate the instrument in accor

27、dance with the manufac-turers instructions.7.2 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 output

28、pretreatment supplier7.3 All specimens must 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 dir

29、ection of the metalis in the same orientation. 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 te

30、st specimen firmlyagainst the window, make sure that the backer is of untreatedcoupons of the same metal as the specimen. The same backermust be used for each set of measurements.7.4 Insert the titanium calibration standard that has beenrecommended by the treatment supplier into the instrument,and o

31、btain a count. Adjust the current with the control knob onthe probe until the count value is within a single significantfigure rounded approximation of 63 times the square root ofthe counts provided by the treatment supplier with eachtitanium calibration standard.7.5 Obtain the counts of a blank.7.6

32、 Obtain the counts of the treated specimen.7.7 Consult the instrument manufacturers instructionmanuals for calibrating and operating procedures if the X-rayapparatus has a data handling system for direct readout ofcoating weights.8. Calculation8.1 Use 8.2 8.5 for calculating the coating weight if an

33、automated data handling system is not available.8.2 The average of a minimum of three readings of both theblank and treated specimen is used to calculate the coatingweight.8.3 Calculate the delta () counts by subtracting the countsof the blank from the counts of the treated specimen.8.4 The coating

34、weight is calculated by dividing the counts by the conversion factor that is supplied by thetreatment supplier for the particular substrate and treatmentcombination under study.Coating weight weight/unit area! 5 countsconversion factor(1)Other methods as recommended by the treatment suppliermay be u
