Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys - Measurement of abrasion resistance of anodic oxidation coatings (ISO 8251:2011); German version EN ISO 8251:2011
Anodisieren von Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Messung der Abriebfestigkeit von anodisch erzeugten Oxidschichten (ISO 8251:2011); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 8251:2011
Overview
This document specifies the following three test methods: a) abrasive-wheel-wear test methods, determining the wear resistance and the wear index of anodic oxidation coatings on flat specimens of aluminium and its alloys; b) abrasive jet test method, comparing the resistance to abrasion of anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium and its alloys with that of a standard specimen or, alternatively, a reference specimen, by use of a jet of abrasive particles; c) falling sand abrasion method, determining the abrasion resistance with falling sand applied to thin anodic oxidation coatings. The use of these methods for coatings produced by hard anodizing is described in ISO 10074. This document has been prepared under the leadership of ISO/TC 79/SC 2/WG 16 "Revisions for Systematic reviewed TC 79/SC 2 ISO standards" (secretariat: JISC, Japan) in a parallel procedure with CEN/TC 132/WG 15 "Aluminium anodisation" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom).The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 066-01-09 AA "Anodisch oxidiertes Aluminium" ("Aluminium anodisation") of the Nonferrous Metals Standards Committee (FNNE) at DIN, the German Institute for Standardization e. V.
