Title
Standard Test Method for Peel Strength of Metal Electroplated Plastics
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 22, 1985
Scope:
This test method gives two procedures for measuring the force required
to peel a metallic coating
from a plastic substrate.(Footnote 2) One procedure (Procedure A)
utilizes a universal testing
machine and yields reproducible measurements that can be used in
research and development, in
quality control and product acceptance, in the description of material
and process characteristics,
and in communications. The other procedure (Procedure B) utilizes an
indicating force instrument
that is less accurate and that is sensitive to operator technique. It
is suitable for process
control use.
The tests are performed on standard molded plaques. This method does
not cover the testing of
production electroplated parts.
The tests do not necessarily measure the adhesion of a metallic
coating to a plastic substrate
because in properly prepared test specimens, separation usually occurs
in the plastic just beneath
the coating-substrate interface rather than at the interface. It does,
however, reflect the degree
that the process is controlled.
This standard does not purport to address all of 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.
Footnote 2 - This test is also known as the Jacquet Test. A detailed
treatment of the test has been
published by Saubestre et al in Plating, Vol 52, 1965, p. 982.
