22、recious metals.This part of ISO 3160 aims to specify coating characterization methods to qualify their corrosion resistance and their adhesion to the substrate concerning esthetical and technical aspects, and to specify methods to determine thickness and gold fineness of these coatings to check that

32、be any surface which can be touched by a 5 mm diameter ball.4 GeneralIn the context of this part of ISO 3160, the term “corrosion” includes tarnishing and oxidation, as well as surface penetration and the effects of the penetration of corrosive agents into porosity and micro-discontinuities of the p

33、rotection.It is generally required that, except where specified to the contrary, gold-alloy-covered surfaces should not have suffered any damage after each of the proposed tests. In practice, however, this condition is never strictly fulfilled and certain minor changes are observed, especially at th

34、e edges of the gold-covered parts. Consequently, interpretation of the results requires a certain amount of common sense and, if necessary, agreement between the supplier and customer. The presence of such almost inevitable faults makes it impossible to sell the tested item as new. In this respect,

35、the tests are therefore to be considered to be destructive.The test methods apply to all gold alloy coverings specified in ISO 3160-1.5 Determination of gold fineness5.1 GeneralIf the fineness is measured on a gold alloy covering which is separated from the base metal, the method used to separate th

36、e gold alloy covering from the base metal shall not affect the fineness of the gold covering to a significant extent.For multilayer coverings, the covering content measured is the mean content, which shall be a minimum of 585 parts per thousand, in accordance with ISO 3160-1.The method of separation

37、 of the sample is specified in Annex A.5.2 Methods of gold fineness determinationAny of the following methods shall be used for the determination of contents:a) chemical analysis by reduction in an aqueous solution of, for example, sulfur dioxide or any other suitable reducing agent;b) analysis by1)

41、guaranteed:a) the microsection method specified in ISO 1463 for a thickness of 5 m (20 %) and above (local thickness);b) the dissolution method and chemical analysis for any thickness of gold alloy covering (average thickness) specified in ISO 27874;c) dissolution and measurement by the micrometer m

44、e7.1 Forms of corrosionThe various forms of corrosion which appear on a gold-alloy-covered article may be divided into three groups.a) Corrosion of the base metal at points where there are gaps in the covering: electrochemical cells may act at these points and accelerate penetration, and also at the

45、 boundary between the covering and the base metal.b) Attack caused by saline agents or possibly by mildly acidic agents (contact with perspiration, packaging, leathers or certain plastics): the products of corrosion may be of various colours, i.e. orange, violet, blue, green or brown.c) Attack cause

46、d by sulfur-containing agents (atmospheric hydrogen sulfide, vulcanized rubber, etc.): such agents may also attack the base metal at points where there are gaps in the protective covering. In addition, they cause changes in the surface colouring, which may even turn matt and black.The proposed tests

47、 make it possible for these various effects to be distinguished to a certain extent. Gold alloy coverings shall be resistant in all the environments described below. According to the nature of the article, the supplier may, with the agreement of the customer, determine the number of items to be subm

48、itted to each test.The development of corrosion is closely allied to the relative humidity of the ambient environment. ISO 2015 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 3160-2:2015ISO 3160-2:2015(E)7.2 Sampling and preparation7.2.1 GeneralAccording to the nature of the article, the supplier may, with the agreeme

49、nt of the customer, determine the number of items to be submitted to each test and the test conditions. The test conditions shall be stated in the test report.The tests for determination of the corrosion resistance are applicable to finished items in the condition in which they are supplied to customers. They can also be applied during manufacture, but any interpretation of results shall take into account the form which the item will take when in its final condition.7.2.2 Test of fini
