ASTM B600 – Standard Guide for Descaling and Cleaning Titanium and Titanium Alloy Surfaces Description: Abstract This guide covers a cleaning and descaling procedure useful to producers, users, and fabricators of titanium and titanium alloys for the removal of ordinary shop soils, oxides, and scales resulting from heat treatment operations and foreign substances present as …
ASTM B578 – Standard Test Method for Microindentation Hardness of Electroplated Coatings Description: Abstract This test method specifies the determination of the microhardness of metallic coatings upon various substrates (electroplated coatings). Measurements shall be made with the Knoop indenter under specified test loads, and the hardness shall be reported as a Knoop hardness number (HK). …
ASTM B577 – Standard Test Methods for Detection of Cuprous Oxide (Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility) in Copper Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods determine whether copper products will be resistant to embrittlement when exposed to elevated temperatures in a reducing atmosphere. 5.1.1 It is assumed that all who use these test methods will be trained personnel …
ASTM B571 – Standard Practice for Qualitative Adhesion Testing of Metallic Coatings Description: Significance and Use 2.1 These tests are useful for production control and for acceptance testing of products. 2.2 Interpreting the results of qualitative methods for determining the adhesion of metallic coatings is often a controversial subject. If more than one test is used, failure …
ASTM B568 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Coating Thickness by X-Ray Spectrometry Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This is a sensitive, noncontact, and nondestructive method for measuring the coating thickness (and in some cases, coating composition) of metallic and some nonmetallic coatings over a range of thicknesses from as little as 0.01 μm to …
ASTM B565 – Standard Test Method for Shear Testing of Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Rivets and Cold-Heading Wire and Rods Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is intended solely for the shear testing of rivets and cold-heading wire and rod, and is not generally recommended for the determination of the shear strength of other products. …
ASTM B564 – Standard Specification for Nickel Alloy Forgings Description: Scope 1.1 This specification2 covers forgings of: Alloy Type UNS Number(s) Fe-Ni-Cr-Mo-N N08367 Low-carbon Cr-Ni-Fe-N R20033 Low-carbon Ni-Cr-Mo N06035, N06058, N06059, N06044 Low-carbon Ni-Cr-Mo-Cu N06200 Low-carbon Ni-Cr-Mo-W N06686 Low-carbon Ni-Fe-Cr-Mo-Cu N08031, N08034 Low-carbon Ni-Mo-Cr N10276, N06022, N10362 Low-carbon Ni-Mo-Cr-Ta N06210 Ni N02200 Ni-Co-Cr-Si N12160 Ni-Cr-Al N06699 Ni-Cr-Co-Mo …
ASTM B557 – Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing Wrought and Cast Aluminum- and Magnesium-Alloy Products Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Tension tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. This information may be useful in comparisons of materials, alloy development, quality control, and design under certain circumstances. 4.2 The results …
ASTM B545 – Standard Specification for Electrodeposited Coatings of Tin Description: Abstract This specification covers the requirements for electrodeposited tin coatings applied to metallic articles to provide a low contact resistance surface, to protect against corrosion, to facilitate soldering, to provide anti-galling properties, and to be a stop-off coating in the nitriding of high-strength steels. …
ASTM B537 – Standard Practice for Rating of Electroplated Panels Subjected to Atmospheric Exposure Description: Abstract This practice covers the recommended method for rating the condition of electroplated test panels subjected to corrosive environments for test purposes. This method is used with standard-sized panels exposed on standard ASTM racks at outdoor test sites in both …
