The Copper-Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray (CASS) test is typically used to evaluate the performance of decorative plating appl

3、ied to metallic and non-metallic substrates. It has also been used to evaluate the performance of anodic coatings applied to aluminum. 1.2 Foreword. This standard establishes test equipment and test specimen requirements for conducting the CASS test. The chamber operation and test procedures are bas

4、ed on ISO 9227. Clarifications to ISO 9227 requirements are defined in this document. 1.3 Applicability. The CASS test is typically used for quality control and process control evaluations, and not for simulating field performance. 2 References Note: Only the latest approved standards are applicable

15、 Personnel/Skills. Not applicable 4 Procedure 4.1 Preparation. 4.1.1 Test Solution Preparation. The salt solution prepared per GMW3286 shall be the base solution for preparing the CASS solution. To prepare the CASS solution, dissolve 1 g of cupric chloride dehydrate (CuCl2 X 2H2O) per gallon (0.26 g

16、/L) of the GMW3286 salt solution. Add 5 to 6 mL of glacial acetic acid per gallon (1.3 to 1.6 mL/L) of the GMW3286 salt solution. 4.1.2 Sample Preparation. 4.1.2.1 Samples shall be suitably cleaned, if necessary, prior to exposure. The cleaning method shall be optional depending upon the nature of t

17、he surface and the type of contaminants. The cleaning shall not include the use of abrasives or solvents which may compromise the test surface. 4.1.2.2 Cut edges, backs, and other test specimen imperfections shall be suitably coated or protected per the discretion of the test engineer, or per agreem

18、ent between the test engineer and the requester, prior to the initiation of the test. 4.1.2.3 Test specimens are generally oriented in the test chamber so that the dominant test surface is exposed to the CASS fog at approximately 15 to 30 degrees from vertical. Specimens may be oriented at other ang

19、les if agreed upon by the requester and the test engineer. 4.1.3 Chamber Preparation. Prior to initiation of testing, the CASS solution and test chamber operating conditions, based on a minimum of 16 h, shall be met. 4.2 Conditions. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. See 3.2.1. 4.2.2 Test Conditions. D

20、eviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agreed upon. Such requirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certificates, reports, etc. 4.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Chamber Operation. Chamber operation shall be continuous for the specified test periods. “Continuous” tes

21、ting is defined as testing that is interrupted only to allow for the daily collection of CASS solution, to rearrange, remove, or introduce new test specimens, or to perform necessary chamber maintenance and repair. The number of interruptions shall be limited to three in any 24 h period, and shall b

22、e approximately ten minutes in duration, where feasible.
