9.1 Thickness
The total thickness of the coating and the thickness of each group of coatings should be measured at any part of the main surface that can be contacted by a ball with a diameter of 20mm. The coulometric method specified in GB/T455 can measure the thickness of the chromium layer, the total nickel layer sequence, the copper layer and the thickness of the copper alloy base layer of known composition. The X-ray spectrometry method specified in GB/T16921 can measure the thickness of the chromium layer. It can also be used to measure the thickness of the bottom nickel layer before nickel plating. The microscope method specified in GB6462 can be used to measure the thickness of each nickel layer with a minimum thickness of 10μm, and can also measure the thickness of copper or copper alloy and gold plating (see 7.2.2). The STEP test method can also be used to determine the strip thickness of double and triple nickel mirror layers and the electrochemical relationship between the layers. The STEP method test can be used to produce parts, so it has been widely evaluated and has become a part of the national standard of some companies. There is still controversy about the optimal value of the potential difference between the layers to ensure good protection of bright nickel and semi-bright high-gold, but the company has set this potential difference to not less than 11251mV. This standard adopts 151456 equivalent to the decision to define this test method as a revised version of the standard, but no STEP method manuscript that can be accepted by this international standard has been proposed. Users of this standard are welcome to conduct this test and make compensation for the results, which will further improve the quality of the product. If properly calibrated, the magnetic method specified in GBT13711 can measure the total thickness of the nickel plating layer of b, d, s or P on zinc alloy copper alloy and steel with known composition. Other thickness measurement methods with a proven measurement error within 10% can also be used. In case of dispute, the coulometric method is used to measure the thickness of the nickel layer and the thickness of the nickel layer less than 10 μm, and the microscopic method is used to measure the nickel layer and the thickness of the bottom layer less than or equal to 10 mm.
9.2 Bonding strength
Test the bonding strength of the coating according to the thermal shock test or chain knife test specified in GB5270. After the test, there should be no separation between the forging layer and the body, and between the coating and the coating.
9.3 Corrosion resistance
The plated parts shall be subjected to corrosion test according to Table 6, and the test duration shall correspond to the service condition number of the plated parts. Any special test shall be specified by the belt manufacturer. Table 6 Correspondence between corrosion test and service part number Duration of American system scrap corrosion test

1When the base metal is copper or copper alloy, the test duration is shorter than that of steel, zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. This is because the nickel coating on the pin or alloy is thinner than that on steel, zinc alloy or alloy under the same service conditions. When the coating penetrates, the slow corrosion of the pin alloy proves that the use of these thinner and less corrosion-resistant bonding layers is appropriate. 2The horizontal line indicates that there is no test requirement.
3When the service condition is zero, there is no corrosion test requirement. The several corrosion tests specified in G3/T10125 provide a set of means to control the continuity and quality of the coating. It is assumed that there is little correlation between the test duration and the service life of the key parts. After the plated parts have undergone appropriate corrosion tests, they should be inspected and rated in accordance with the provisions of Appendix B of GB/T9798-1997 (see 7.4). 9.4 Ductility

A1 Scope
GB/T9797-1997
Appendix A
(Standard Record) | |tt||Measurement of pore density and crack density in chromium coating This appendix specifies the method for measuring the pore density and crack density of chromium coating on product parts. A2 Principle
On a representative surface of the plated part, copper is deposited under specified conditions by cathode. Copper is only deposited on the nickel layer exposed by the discontinuous chromium layer. The pore density and crack density of the chromium layer are calculated based on the number of copper points deposited on a certain area or the number of cracks on a certain length. A3 Apparatus
General laboratory equipment:
Electrode: used to deposit copper on the cathode test piece: Solution: copper sulfate (CuSO4*511,0) 200g/L. sulfuric acid (HS0),) 20g/L. During the whole electroplating process, the temperature is maintained at 18~24r. The cathode current density is 30A/m.
A4 Procedure
A4.1 Preparation of test pieces
Prepare the test pieces as follows.
Insulate all unplated edges and copper wires in contact with the cathode rod of the plating tank with insulating varnish, and immerse and clean them in a hot alkaline degreasing solution at a temperature not exceeding 65°C until the surface is evenly wetted. The cleaning effect will be better if you use a soft brush to gently scrub. Rinse thoroughly in running water and then immerse in a sulfuric acid solution of about 5% for 5 to 10 seconds. If the test is carried out several days after the chromium deposition, before the copper deposition, immerse the sample in a nitric acid solution for 4 minutes. The concentration of nitric acid is 1u~-20g/L. The solution temperature is about 65°C. This treatment helps to reveal cracks or pores.
44.2 Measurement
The test piece is charged and inserted into the sugar (A3).
On the treated test piece, copper is deposited at a cathode current density of 3UA/m\cathode for a time of about 1~5min and a temperature of [8~24°C. Copper is only deposited on the nickel bottom layer exposed by the discontinuity of the chromium layer (pores and cracks). Take a close look at the test piece, wash it with cold water first and then with hot water, and dry it in the air (do not use compressed air). Do not wipe the part of the test piece where pores or cracks need to be counted.
Count the number of copper points deposited on the test piece and the number of cracks shown by the known length of the deposit to estimate the number of discontinuities in the chrome plating. The counting can be done with a metallographic microscope with a scaled mirror or with a microscopic film taken from a representative area of the test piece.

A gentle scrubbing with a soft brush will provide better cleaning results. Rinse thoroughly in running water and then immerse in a solution of about 5% sulfuric acid for 5 to 10 seconds. If the test is to be carried out several days after the deposition of chromium, immerse the sample in a nitric acid solution for 4 minutes before the deposition of copper. The concentration of nitric acid is 1u~-20g/L. The solution temperature is about 65°C. This treatment helps to reveal cracks or pores.
44.2 Measurement
Put the test piece into the sugar (A3) with an electric charge.
On the treated test piece, copper is deposited at a cathode current density of 3UA/m\, and the electroplating time is about 1~5min-temperature [8~24℃. Copper is only deposited on the nickel bottom layer exposed by the discontinuity of the chromium layer (pores and cracks). Take a fine test piece, wash it with cold water first and then with hot water, and dry it in the air (do not use compressed air). Do not wipe the parts of the test piece where pores or cracks need to be counted.
Count the number of copper points deposited on the test piece and the number of cracks shown by the known length of the deposit to estimate the number of discontinuities in the chromium plating layer. The counting can be done with a metallographic microscope with a scale mirror, or with a microscopic film taken from a representative area of the test piece.

44.2 Measurement
Put the test piece into the sugar (A3) with an electric charge.
On the treated test piece, copper is deposited at a cathode current density of 3UA/m\, and the electroplating time is about 1~5min-temperature [8~24℃. Copper is only deposited on the nickel bottom layer exposed by the discontinuity of the chromium layer (pores and cracks). Take a fine test piece, wash it with cold water first and then with hot water, and dry it in the air (do not use compressed air). Do not wipe the parts of the test piece where pores or cracks need to be counted.
Count the number of copper points deposited on the test piece and the number of cracks shown by the known length of the deposit to estimate the number of discontinuities in the chromium plating layer. The counting can be done with a metallographic microscope with a scale mirror, or with a microscopic film taken from a representative area of the test piece.
