Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONElectrically conductive coatings used in aerospace transparencies for heating purposes may containflaws resulti

3、ng from imperfections of materials, imperfections of manufacturing techniques, handlingdamage, or contamination. Flaws may develop before, during, or after coating and processing andusually appear as hairline cracks, scratches, or pin holes. When these flaws are of sufficient size, hotspots can occu

4、r as a result of disruption and concentration of the flow of electrical current adjacent tothe flaws. These hot spots may result in reduced service life of the transparency. Hot spot flaws in thetransparency may also produce undesirable temporary distortion of vision during powered operationof the h

5、eater and permanent vision distortion after repeated cycling of the heater.Polarized light is widely used to detect electrically conductive coating flaws during aerospacetransparency processing.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a standard procedure for detectingflaws in the conductive coating (heater

6、 element) by theobservation of polarized light patterns.1.2 This practice applies to coatings on surfaces of mono-lithic transparencies as well as to coatings imbedded inlaminated structures.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included i

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.

8、 For specificprecautionary statements see Section 6.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 transparent conductive coatinga transparent thinfilm of electrically conductive material such as gold, stannousoxide, or indium oxide applied to plastic or glass which, whenbounded by connecting bus-bars energize

9、d by electricity,becomes a resistance type heating element.2.1.2 electrically conductive coating flawan electricaldiscontinuity in the coating, caused generally by coatingcracks, pin holes, fine threads, scratches, and so forth.3. Summary of Practice3.1 Flaws in electrically powered conductive coati

10、ngs pro-duce local concentrations of current, which result in tempera-ture gradients and stresses. Since glass and plastic transparen-cies are birefringent when stressed, flaws can be detected byoptical methods, and in this case by the use of polarized light.3.2 This practice consists of directing p

11、olarized lightthrough a heated transparent test specimen and reading thetransmitted light with a polarizing screen or filter. Diffractedlight from the region of the flaw will become visible, in theform of a brighter or more intense local image, usually shapedlike a butterfly.4. Significance and Use4

12、.1 This practice is useful as a screening basis for accep-tance or rejection of transparencies during manufacturing sothat units with identifiable flaws will not be carried to finalinspection for rejection at that time.4.2 This practice may also be employed as a go-no gotechnique for acceptance or r

13、ejection of the finished product.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F07 on Aerospaceand Aircraft and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F07.08 on TransparentEnclosures and Materials.Current edition approved May 15, 2009. Published June 2009. Originallyapproved in 19

14、77. Last previous edition approved in 2003 as F 319 91a (2003).1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.4.3 This practice is simple, inexpensive, and effective.Flaws identified by this practice, as with other optical methods,a

15、re limited to those that produce temperature gradients whenelectrically powered. Any other type of flaw, such as minorscratches parallel to the direction of electrical flow, are notdetectable.5. Apparatus5.1 The elements of the apparatus are detailed below in theirphysical relationship as shown in F

16、ig. 1. The minimum sizeand spacing of the elements of the apparatus are determined bythe size and curvature of the part. The size of light source, lightdiffuser, and polarizing screen shall be large enough so thatevery portion of the electrically coated area of the testspecimen is in the light path

17、and is uniformly back-lit. If thetest specimen is curved severely, its position may have to beadjusted during inspection so that the light path is within 20 ofnormal to the location being viewed. Since specimen size andcurvature vary considerably, a dimensionally fixed standard isnot given.5.2 The a

18、pparatus, in the order of assembly, consists of thefollowing:5.2.1 Uniform Light Source, such as a bank of fluorescentlamps.5.2.2 Translucent Light Diffusion Plate, such as milk-whiteglass located so as to provide a uniform light distribution.5.2.3 Polarizing Screen, which converts the diffused ligh

19、t topolarized light.5.2.4 Transparent Dust Shield (optional).5.2.5 Support for the specimen.5.2.6 Polarizing Viewer, hand-held or mounted so it can berotated to give maximum contrast as an analyzer.5.2.7 Electrical Power Supply, regulated.5.2.8 Timer, for controlling power application.FIG. 1 Typical

20、 Arrangement for Polarized Light MethodF3190925.2.9 Meters, for measuring power input to heater element.6. Safety Precautions6.1 This practice may require application of high voltages.Exercise precautions to prevent direct or indirect exposure oftest personnel to terminals, test leads, and so forth.

21、6.2 Wear protective glasses to prevent damage to eyes byflying glass particles which may be generated by shatteringfrom thermal shock or handling when glass parts are tested.7. Sampling7.1 When specified for use as a final acceptance procedure,all deliverable electrically heated transparencies will

22、be testedin the final laminated condition for heater element flaws.7.2 Heater elements may be tested prior to lamination of theassembly to screen out defective or marginal electrical conduc-tive coatings.8. Test Specimen8.1 The test specimen shall be a full-size monolithic orlaminated part as specif

23、ied in drawings that detail materials anddimensions. The test specimen shall be complete and full scalewith respect to contour, conductive coating, deletion lines,bus-bars, temperature sensing elements, electrical connections,and any other permanent electrical functional parts or elementsaffecting t

24、he electrical flow direction or magnitude anywherewithin the active portion of the conductive coating.8.2 The test specimen need not have final fabrication detailssuch as reinforcement bonding, trimming, drilling of edges,and so forth, provided that the incomplete fabrication does notaffect the heat

25、ing pattern and maximum temperatures of theelectrically conductive coating.8.3 The final inspection of a laminated part shall be con-ducted only when all elevated temperature adhesive and curecycles have been completed and the part temperature hasreturned to ambient room temperature.9. Preparation o

26、f Apparatus9.1 Install the test specimen in relation to the test apparatusas shown in Fig. 1. Position the specimen so that it is parallelto the polarizing screen.9.2 Connect the power leads to the specimen.9.3 If the part is severely curved, make provisions foradjustment of the part relative to the

27、 polarizing apparatus suchthat the viewing angle does not deviate more than 20 fromnormal to the surface of the uniform light source diffuser plate.10. Procedure10.1 Turn on the polarized light source.10.2 Visually survey the test specimen at a distance of 1.5m, using the polarizing viewer to determ

28、ine defect patterns thatexist before power is applied. Mark all defect locations. Theobject of this step is to record defects that are unrelated to theenergized conductive coating.10.3 Power ApplicationWith the specimen stabilized atroom temperature, apply the minimum voltage levels definedbelow for

29、 a period required to achieve a visually identifiablepattern of flaws. Apply voltage suddenly, by closing a switch.Do not use a gradual change in voltage.NOTE 1Care should be taken to limit application time to preventoverheating, which could occur in a few seconds.10.3.1 For electrically conductive

30、coatings on plastic mate-rials, apply a minimum of 110 % of the nominal designvoltage.10.3.2 For electrically conductive coatings on glass, apply aminimum of 125 % of the nominal design voltage.10.3.3 Alternative voltage levels and power-on times maybe as specified by contractual documents.10.4 Watc

31、h through the viewer for flaws, which appearduring the power cycle as intense and localized areas of lightor shadow. Rotate the viewer for maximum contrast.NOTE 2The flaws are most pronounced immediately after the appli-cation of power. Flaws, depending on cause, produce star, cross, orbutterfly-sha

32、ped light patterns. The highest practical electrical power levelproduces the strongest image.NOTE 3Preliminary experimentation with instrumented specimenscontaining typical flaws may be required to establish the power levels anddurations required for maximum image strength without overheating.11. In

33、terpretation of Results11.1 After application of power and when viewed from theeye position, record every flaw that appears in the primaryviewing area (as defined by the part drawing).11.2 If an eye position is not defined, view the entire heatedarea from a distance of approximately 1.5 m. Mark all

34、flawlocations and describe them by size, shape, and location.12. Report12.1 When required by the customer, a report shall beprepared for all specimens considered satisfactory for furtherprocessing or delivery.12.2 The report shall be a record showing the locations,sizes, and shapes of all minor heat

35、ing element flaws thatappeared during power application. The dimensional recordmay be a drawing, a photo of the marked up specimen, or aphoto of the specimen under lighted conditions. The reportshall include a record of the setup, test procedures, testequipment used, and any other data required to c

36、onfirm the useof appropriate equipment and procedures and all data requiredfor verification of the quality of the part.13. Precision and Bias13.1 No statement is made about either precision or bias,since the result merely establishes the detection of flawswithout specifying an acceptable criteria.14
