Introduction

The test method is an important means to test the performance of samples. Different test methods can produce different test results.

The purpose of standardization is to achieve a standard, a single test, and industry-wide recognition. Steel is one of the most basic structural materials in the modern industrial system.

First, the surface treatment quality directly affects the adhesion performance and long-term protective effect of the coating. The scientific assessment of the cleanliness of the steel surface is the key to ensuring in this regard, my country has made great progress in the field of coating technology by studying and referring to international standards and advanced foreign standards.

A complete set of standards for steel surface cleanliness assessment test methods has been established. GB/T 18570 "Surface treatment of steel before coating" the Cleanliness Assessment Test aims to provide an internationally accepted and reliable test method for the control of steel surface cleanliness in my country.

3 Terms and Definitions

There are no terms or definitions that require definition in this document.

ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases used in their standardization work at the following addresses.

4 Principles

Use the Bresle method (see ISO 8502-6:2020) to dissolve the salt in a given area on the steel surface using water as solvent.

The total surface concentration of salts over this area is then calculated using the empirical constants from Chapter 8 and expressed as the total soluble salts Surface concentration. This method gives the value of all salts present on the surface, not specifically sodium salts and/or chlorides, etc.

The total surface concentration of water-soluble salts on the steel surface was obtained by calculation.
