ASTM B368
The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies performs copper coating testing in accordance with the ASTM B368 testing standard.
Electrodeposited Copper Coating Testing
Electrodeposited copper coatings are commonly used in the manufacturing, electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries to ensure precise and consistent copper coating thickness. Electroplated parts and components are prone to corrosion and require comprehensive testing to verify environmental resistance. ASTM B368 testing details the necessary conditions for both copper-accelerated acetic acid-salt spray (CASS) testing and the corrosive performance of decorative chromium, nickel, and copper or chromium and nickel coatings on plastics, aluminum alloys, anodized aluminum, zinc alloys, and steel.
ASTM B368 Testing Methods
There are several steps to the ASTM B368 testing process, all of which require a comprehensive knowledge of ASTM International testing standards. Applied Technical Services’ expert chemists and coating testing technicians perform meticulous analysis on electroplated subjects and electrodeposited copper coatings to ensure safety, resilience, proper functionality, and regulatory compliance.
The process starts with sample preparation. Our testing experts thoroughly clean and prepare a test subject to eliminate any residues or contaminants that could impact test accuracy. The subject is then electroplated with copper through electrolyte solution substrate immersion. Once the sample is electroplated, it is then cut to the size specified by ASTM B368. Cross-sections are prepared and measurements are taken using scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and additional measurement methods. The data yielded by these processes is compiled and analyzed by our experts before a thorough report is created and provided to our client.
