ASTM C703-72(2016)
Standard Test Methods for Spalling Resistance of Porcelain Enameled Aluminumstandard by ASTM International, 11/01/2016
1.1These test methods cover accelerated determination of the resistance of porcelain enamel coatings on aluminum alloys to spalling from exposure to moisture or weathering. Test Method A,2 using a 5% solution of ammonium chloride, requires 96-h immersion while Test Method B,3 using a 1% solution of antimony trichloride, is completed after 20 h of immersion. The spalling tendency is evaluated by the same criteria in both methods. While either method is suitable for magnesium silicon alloys, such as 6061, Test Method B is preferred for simple alloys or commercially pure aluminum, such as 1100.
1.2The test methods appear in the following order:
Sections | |
Test Method A-Ammonium Chloride | 4 - 9 |
Test Method B-Antimony Trichloride | 10 - 15 |
