ASTM B490 – Standard Practice for Micrometer Bend Test for Ductility of Electrodeposits
Description:
Scope
1.1 This practice describes a procedure for measuring the ductility of electrodeposited foils.2
1.2 This practice is suitable only for the evaluation of electrodeposits having low ductility.
1.3 The obtained ductility values must only be considered semi-quantitative because this test has a significant operator dependence.
1.4 This practice is best used for in-house process control where measurements are always made by the same operator. A change in ductility value can be used as an indication of possible changes in the electroplating solution.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
