1、Designation: D 3359 02 Standard Test Methods for Measuring Adhesion by Tape Test 1 This standard is issued under the xed designation D 3359; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in pa
2、rentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval. This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. 1. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover procedures for assessing the adhesio
3、n of coating lms to metallic substrates by applying and removing pressure-sensitive tape over cuts made in the lm. 1.2 Test Method A is primarily intended for use at job sites while Test Method B is more suitable for use in the laboratory. Also, Test Method B is not considered suitable for lms thick
4、er than 5 mils (125m). NOTE 1Subject to agreement between the purchaser and the seller, Test Method B can be used for thicker lms if wider spaced cuts are employed. 1.3 These test methods are used to establish whether the adhesion of a coating to a substrate is at a generally adequate level. They do
5、 not distinguish between higher levels of adhesion for which more sophisticated methods of measure- ment are required. NOTE 2It should be recognized that differences in adherability of the coating surface can affect the results obtained with coatings having the same inherent adhesion. 1.4 In multico
6、at systems adhesion failure may occur be- tween coats so that the adhesion of the coating system to the substrate is not determined. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.6 This standard does not purport to a
7、ddress the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2.

Summary of Test Methods 3.1
11、 Test Method AAn X-cut is made through the lm to the substrate, pressure-sensitive tape is applied over the cut and then removed, and adhesion is assessed qualitatively on the 0 to 5 scale. 3.2 Test Method BA lattice pattern with either six or eleven cuts in each direction is made in the lm to the s

Signicance and Use 4.1 If a coating is to fulll its function of protecting or decorating a substrate, it must adhere to it for the expected
13、service life. Because the substrate and its surface preparation (or lack of it) have a drastic effect on the adhesion of coatings, a method to evaluate adhesion of a coating to different substrates or surface treatments, or of different coatings to the 1 These test methods are under the jurisdiction

The intra- and inter-laboratory precision of this test method is similar
18、 to other widely-accepted tests for coated substrates (for example, Test Method D 2370 and Test Method D 4060), but this is partly the result of it being insensitive to all but large differences in adhesion. The limited scale of 0 to 5 was selected deliberately to avoid a false impression of being s
19、ensitive. TEST METHOD AX-CUT TAPE TEST 5. Apparatus and Materials 5.1 Cutting ToolSharp razor blade, scalpel, knife or other cutting devices. It is of particular importance that the cutting edges be in good condition. 5.2 Cutting GuideSteel or other hard metal straightedge to ensure straight cuts. 5
20、.3 Tape25-mm (1.0-in.) wide semitransparent pressure- sensitive tape 7 with an adhesion strength agreed upon by the supplier and the user is needed. Because of the variability in adhesion strength from batch-to-batch and with time, it is essential that tape from the same batch be used when tests are
21、 to be run in different laboratories. If this is not possible the test method should be used only for ranking a series of test coatings. 5.4 Rubber Eraser, on the end of a pencil. 5.5 IlluminationA light source is helpful in determining whether the cuts have been made through the lm to the substrate
22、. 6. Test Specimens 6.1 When this test method is used in the eld, the specimen is the coated structure or article on which the adhesion is to be evaluated. 6.2 For laboratory use apply the materials to be tested to panels of the composition and surface conditions on which it is desired to determine
23、the adhesion. NOTE 3Applicable test panel description and surface preparation methods are given in Practice D 609 and Practices D 1730 and D 2092. NOTE 4Coatings should be applied in accordance with Practice D 823, or as agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller. NOTE 5If desired or specied,
24、the coated test panels may be subjected to a preliminary exposure such as water immersion, salt spray, or high humidity before conducting the tape test. The conditions and time of exposure will be governed by ultimate coating use or shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and seller. 7. Procedure
25、 7.1 Select an area free of blemishes and minor surface imperfections. For tests in the eld, ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Extremes in temperature or relative humidity may affect the adhesion of the tape or the coating. 7.1.1 For specimens which have been immersed: After immersion, clean
26、 and wipe the surface with an appropriate solvent which will not harm the integrity of the coating. Then dry or prepare the surface, or both, as agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller. 7.2 Make two cuts in the lm each about 40 mm (1.5 in.) long that intersect near their middle with a small
27、er angle of between 30 and 45. When making the incisions, use the straightedge and cut through the coating to the substrate in one steady motion. 7.3 Inspect the incisions for reection of light from the metal substrate to establish that the coating lm has been penetrated. If the substrate has not be
28、en reached make another X in a different location. Do not attempt to deepen a previous cut as this may affect adhesion along the incision. 7.4 Remove two complete laps of the pressure-sensitive tape from the roll and discard. Remove an additional length at a steady (that is, not jerked) rate and cut
29、 a piece about 75 mm (3 in.) long. 7.5 Place the center of the tape at the intersection of the cuts with the tape running in the same direction as the smaller angles. Smooth the tape into place by nger in the area of the incisions and then rub rmly with the eraser on the end of a pencil. The color u
30、nder the transparent tape is a useful indication of when good contact has been made. 7.6 Within 90 6 30 s of application, remove the tape by seizing the free end and pulling it off rapidly (not jerked) back upon itself at as close to an angle of 180 as possible. 7.7 Inspect the X-cut area for remova
31、l of coating from the substrate or previous coating and rate the adhesion in accor- dance with the following scale: 5A No peeling or removal, 4A Trace peeling or removal along incisions or at their intersection, 3A Jagged removal along incisions up to 1.6 mm ( 1 16 in.) on either side, 2A Jagged rem
32、oval along most of incisions up to 3.2 mm ( 1 8 in.) on either side, 1A Removal from most of the area of the X under the tape, and 0A Removal beyond the area of the X. 7.8 Repeat the test in two other locations on each test panel. For large structures make sufficient tests to ensure that the adhesio
33、n evaluation is representative of the whole surface. 7.9 After making several cuts examine the cutting edge and, if necessary, remove any at spots or wire-edge by abrading lightly on a ne oil stone before using again. Discard cutting tools that develop nicks or other defects that tear the lm. 8. Rep
34、ort 8.1 Report the number of tests, their mean and range, and for coating systems, where the failure occurred that is, between rst coat and substrate, between rst and second coat, etc. 8.2 For eld tests report the structure or article tested, the location and the environmental conditions at the time
35、 of testing. 8.3 For test panels report the substrate employed, the type of coating, the method of cure, and the environmental conditions at the time of testing. 8.4 If the adhesion strength of the tape has been determined in accordance with Test Methods D 1000 or D 3330, report the 7 Permacel 99, m

Precision and Bias 8 9.1 In an interlaboratory study of this test method in which operators in six laboratories made one adhesion measurement on three panels each of three coatings covering a wide range of adhesion, the within-laboratorie
40、s standard deviation was found to be 0.33 and the between-laboratories 0.44. Based on these standard deviations, the following criteria should be used for judging the acceptability of results at the 95 % condence level: 9.1.1 RepeatabilityProvided adhesion is uniform over a large surface, results ob
41、tained by the same operator should be considered suspect if they differ by more than 1 rating unit for two measurements. 9.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of trip- licates, obtained by different operators should be considered suspect if they differ by more than 1.5 rating units. 9.2 Bi

Apparatus and Materials 10.1 Cutting Tool 9 Sharp razor blade, scalpel, knife or other cutting device having a cutting edge angle between 15 and 30 that will make either a single cut or several cuts at once. It is
43、of particular importance that the cutting edge or edges be in good condition. 10.2 Cutting GuideIf cuts are made manually (as opposed to a mechanical apparatus) a steel or other hard metal straight- edge or template to ensure straight cuts. 10.3 RuleTempered steel rule graduated in 0.5 mm for measur
44、ing individual cuts. 10.4 Tape, as described in 5.3. 10.5 Rubber Eraser, on the end of a pencil. 10.6 Illumination, as described in 5.5. 10.7 Magnifying GlassAn illuminated magnier to be used while making individual cuts and examining the test area. 11. Test Specimens 11.1 Test specimens shall be as
45、 described in Section 6. It should be noted, however, that multitip cutters 10 provide good results only on test areas sufficiently plane that all cutting edges contact the substrate to the same degree. Check for atness with a straight edge such as that of the tempered steel rule (10.3). 12. Procedu
46、re 12.1 Where required or when agreed upon, subject the specimens to a preliminary test before conducting the tape test (see Note 3). After drying or testing the coating, conduct the tape test at room temperature as dened in Specication D 3924, unless D 3924 standard temperature is required or agree
47、d. 12.1.1 For specimens which have been immersed: After immersion, clean and wipe the surface with an appropriate solvent which will not harm the integrity of the coating. Then dry or prepare the surface, or both, as agreed upon between the purchaser and the seller. 12.2 Select an area free of blemi
48、shes and minor surface imperfections, place on a rm base, and under the illuminated magnier, make parallel cuts as follows: 12.2.1 For coatings having a dry lm thickness up to and including 2.0 mils (50 m) space the cuts 1 mm apart and make eleven cuts unless otherwise agreed upon. 12.2.2 For coatin
49、gs having a dry lm thickness between 2.0 mils (50 m) and 5 mils (125 m), space the cuts 2 mm apart and make six cuts. For lms thicker than 5 mils use Test Method A. 11 12.2.3 Make all cuts about 20 mm ( 3 4 in.) long. Cut through the lm to the substrate in one steady motion using just sufficient pressure on the cutting tool to have the cutting edge reach the substrate. When making successive single cuts with the aid of a guide, plac
