Metallic coatings - Review of methods of measurement of ductility (ISO 8401:1986)

Applies to coatings of thickness below 200 /um prepared by electroplating, autocatalytic deposition or other processes. The methods of mearuring the ductility can be divided into test on unsupported foils (the foils may consist of one or more metallic layers) and tests of coatings on substrates (with determining the exact point of crack initation of the top layers).

Metallische Schutzschichten - Überblick über Verfahren zur Messung der Duktilität (ISO 8401:1986)

Diese Internationale Norm legt allgemeine Verfahren zur Messung der Duktilität von metallischen Überzügen mit einer Dicke kleiner als 200 microm fest, die durch elektrolytische Abscheidung, autokatalytische Abscheidung oder andere Verfahren aufgebracht wurden (siehe Anmerkung).

Revêtements métalliques - Vue d'ensemble sur les méthodes de mesurage de la ductilité (ISO 8401:1986)

1.1 La présente Norme internationale spécifie un certain nombre de méthodes de mesurage de la ductilité de revêtements métalliques de moins de 200 µm d'épaisseur obtenus par déposition électrolytique, déposition autocatalytique ou autre procédé utilisable (voir la note). Les méthodes de mesurage de la ductilité des revêtements métalliques peuvent se ranger en deux grandes catégories :
les mesurages sur feuilles détachées de leur substrat;
les mesurages sur feuilles avec leur substrat.
NOTE -- Toute méthode d'essai particulière figurant dans les Normes internationales de revêtement doit être utilisée de préférence aux méthodes décrites dans la présente Norme internationale et doit faire l'objet d'un accord préalable entre le fournisseur et le client.
1.2 Dans les mesurages sur feuilles détachées de leur substrat (voir figure 1), les feuilles pouvant être constituées d’une ou plusieurs couches métalliques, il est possible de mesurer la ductilité de la feuille composite et de déterminer l’influence des diverses couches dans la ductilité totale. Les méthodes de mesurage des feuilles détachées de leur substrat sont décrites dans le chapitre 3. Les méthodes de fabrication des feuilles sont étudiées dans l’annexe A.
1.3 Dans les mesurages sur feuilles avec leur substrat (voir figure 2), le plus grand soin doit être apporté à déterminer le point exact d’amorce de fissuration de la couche supérieure.
Différentes méthodes sont utilisables à cet effet, soit a l’oeil nu ou corrigé, soit à l’aide d’une loupe. Ces méthodes peuvent également servir à détecter une fragilisation du substrat qui
peut résulter du mode de revêtement. Les méthodes de mesurage des feuilles sur leur substrat sont décrites dans le chapitre 4.
1.4 Bien que la ductilité soit une propriété du matériau n’ayant rien à voir avec les dimensions des éprouvettes, l ’épaisseur du revêtement peut avoir une influence sur la valeur de l’allongement linéaire (Al/lo).
1.4.1 Les couches trés minces ont des propriétés différentes car le substrat a une influence sur la superposition des premières couches (épitaxie). Ces couches peuvent être le siége de contraintes internes élevées qui peuvent jouer sur la ductilité.
1.4.2 Il est essentiel q ue l’éprouvette ait une épaisseur uniforme, les endroits plus mi nces pouvan t favoriser une fissuration précoce. De même, la densité de courant est plus faible aux endroits minces et plus forte aux endroits épais des éprouvettes à dépôt électrolytique. Ces différences de densité de courant peuvent ainsi donner lieu à des différences de ductilité. La densité de courant doit donc être maintenue aussi uniforme que possible sur toute l’éprouvette et la valeur correspondante doit être notée.

BS0 (the lnternational Organkation for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national Standards bodies (ISO member bedies). The work of preparing lnternational
Standards is normally carried out through BS0 technical committees. Esch member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. lnternational organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
International Standard ISO 8401 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107,
Metallic and o ther non-organic cos tings.
Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
latest edition, unless otherwise stated.
