Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8251:2011), which has been technically
revised. The main technical changes are as follows:
— preparation for test specimens has been added;
— for expression of results, loss of mass has been added;

Introduction
The resistance of anodic oxidation coatings to abrasion is an important property. As it is dependent upon
the composition of the metal, the thickness of the coating and the conditions of anodizing and sealing,
it can give information about the quality of the coating, its potential resistance to erosion or wear and
its performance in service. For example, the effect of an abnormally high anodizing temperature, which
could cause potential deterioration in service by chalking of the surface layers, can be readily detected
by means of an abrasive wear resistance test.
The use of the term “abrasion resistance” is a convention of the industry. Strictly, the property should
be described as “wear resistance”. There are different types of wear including abrasive wear and
erosive wear.

This document specifies the following tests:
a) abrasive-wheel-wear test, determining the abrasion resistance of anodic oxidation coatings with
abrasive wheel on flat specimens of aluminium and its alloys;
b) abrasive jet test, determining the comparative abrasion resistance of anodic oxidation coatings

4 Characteristics of abrasion tests
4.1 General
In the scope of this document, there are three kinds of abrasion tests: abrasive-wheel-wear test (4.2),
abrasive jet test (4.3) and falling sand abrasion test (4.4).
4.2 Abrasive-wheel-wear test
Determination of the abrasion resistance by movement of a test specimen relative to an abrasive paper
under a specified pressure. The wear resistance or the wear index of the layers of oxide near the surface,
or of the whole oxidation coating thickness, or of any selected intermediate zone may be determined by
the test described.
NOTE 1 Abrasive-wheel-wear test determines the resistance to abrasive wear.
This test is applicable to all anodic oxidation coatings of thickness more than 5 μm on flat aluminium or
its alloy specimens.
This test does not apply to concave or convex specimens; these may be examined using the abrasive jet
test which will give an average value for the abrasive resistance of the coating.
NOTE 2 Minimum test specimen dimensions of 50 mm × 50 mm are normally used.
4.3 Abrasive jet test
Determination of the comparative abrasion resistance by the impact of abrasive particles projected onto
a test specimen. The mean specific abrasion resistance of anodic oxidation coatings can be determined.
NOTE 1 Abrasive jet test determines the comparative resistance to erosive wear.
This test is applicable to all anodic oxidation coatings of thickness more than 5 μm on aluminium or its
alloys. It is primarily intended for surfaces which are not flat. If suitable flat test surfaces are available,
the abrasive-wheel-wear test is the preferred test. Production components may be tested without
cutting if the apparatus chamber can accommodate these.
NOTE 2 This test is particularly suitable for small test specimens because the individual test area required is
only about 2 mm in diameter.
4.4 Falling sand abrasion test
Determination of the abrasion resistance by the impact of freely falling abrasive particles onto anodic
oxidation coatings.
This test is suitable to thin anodic oxidation coatings, generally less than 15 µm.
NOTE Falling sand abrasion test determines the resistance to erosive wear.
5 Abrasive-wheel-wear test
5.1 Principle
The anodic oxidation coatings on a test specimen are abraded, under defined conditions, by reciprocal
motion against a strip of silicon carbide paper attached to the outer circumference of a wheel. After each
double stroke, the wheel turns through a small angle to bring an unused portion of the abrasive strip
into contact with the test area. The decrease in coating thickness or mass obtained is used to calculate
the wear resistance, mass wear resistance, wear index or mass wear index. This result is compared
with that obtained using a standard specimen or reference specimen.

ISO 8251:2018(E)

The measuring method of coating thickness normally requires an eddy-current meter with a probe of
less than 12 mm diameter. If this is not available, the method of loss in mass should be used.
NOTE A complete presentation of the wear characteristics of the anodic oxidation coatings can be obtained
by progressively abrading the test area, until the substrate metal is revealed, and then constructing a graph to
show the relation between the coating thickness removed and the number of double strokes used. This is referred
to as a depth survey of the anodic oxidation coatings (see Annex C).
The testing environment should be at room temperature and the relative h
