Scope
GB/T 24300-2025 is the English-translated version of 铜钨电触头缺陷检测方法.
GB/T 24300-2025 is the Chinese national method for finding defects in copper-tungsten electrical contacts by penetrant testing. It covers cracks, voids and local porosity in the alloy and, in integral contacts, interface cracks, inclusions, copper end cracks and porosity; it applies to open defects only and not to the overall sealing of the contact.
It fixes the general rules - the Level 2 non-destructive testing qualification the operator needs, penetrant materials of sensitivity level 2 and the reference blocks - and the flaw detection area, then the detection procedure: pre-treatment, penetration, cleaning, drying, image processing, observation and post-treatment.
It closes with how defect traces are read, how results are displayed and marked, and what the test report contains. It replaces GB/T 24300-2009, was issued on 5 October 2025 and has applied since 1 May 2026.

Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents". Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 24300-2009 "Methods for Testing Defects in Copper-Tungsten Electrical Contacts". Compared with GB/T 24300-2009, except for the structure... Aside from adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
---Requirements for flaw detection personnel have been added (see 4.1.1);
---The requirements for flaw detectors have been changed (see 4.1.2, 4.1 in the 2009 version);
---Added requirements for reference test blocks (see 4.1.3);
---The scope of the flaw detection area has been changed (see 4.2, 2009 version 4.2);
---Added requirements for the use of fluorescent penetrants in detection (see 5.3.2, 5.7.2);
---The grading system for defect indication has been removed (see section 6.2 of the 2009 edition);
---The record display of trace level classification has been removed (see Chapter 8 of the 2009 edition).
1 Scope
This document describes the use of penetrant testing to detect cracks, voids, and localized porosity in copper-tungsten electrical contacts, as well as interfacial cracks in integral copper-tungsten electrical contacts.
Methods for identifying common defects such as inclusions, copper end cracks, and porosity.
This document applies to the detection of open defects in copper-tungsten electrical contacts and integral copper-tungsten electrical contacts, but is not applicable to copper-tungsten electrical contacts and copper-tungsten... Detection of defects in the overall sealing of electrical contacts.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents, through normative references within the text, constitute essential provisions of this document. Dated citations are not included.
For references to documents, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document.
GB/T 18851.2 Nondestructive testing - Penetrating - Part 2: Testing of penetrant materials
GB/T 18851.3 Nondestructive testing - Penetrating - Part 3: Reference blocks
3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Interface cracks
During sintering (or welding), an oxide layer or inclusion layer may exist at the interface between the copper-tungsten alloy of the integral copper-tungsten contact and the conductive end, resulting in... Cracks.
3.2 Copper end cracks
During sintering (or welding), cracks may form in the copper end of the copper-tungsten integral contact due to the presence of an oxide layer or inclusion layer inside.
4 Penetrant Testing
4.1 General Rules
4.1.1 Personnel
A Level 2 Nondestructive Testing Qualification Certificate should be obtained.
4.1.2 Permeable Materials
4.1.2.1 The sensitivity level of the permeation material shall comply with the provisions of GB/T 18851.2, and a permeation material with a sensitivity level of 2 shall be selected.
4.1.2.2 Penetrating materials include penetrants, cleaning agents, and developers. All penetrating materials should be qualified and compatible products manufactured by the same supplier.
For this product, it is advisable to use DPT-5 type coloring penetrant or ZB-21 type fluorescent penetrant.
4.1.2.3 The permeable material used for testing should be within its expiration date. When using a Class I permeable material for the first time, it should be tested according to the requirements of GB/T 18851.2.
