Designation:D414610(Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Method forFormability of Zinc-Rich Primer/Chromate ComplexCoatings on Steel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4146;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the formabilityand adhesion of factory applied zinc-rich primer/chromatecomplex coatings on steel with thicknesses of 0.65 to 1.25 mm(0.025 to 0.05 in.)typical of those used in the coil coatingindustry.1.2 The degree of oil removal prior to forming,the tech-niques of taping,and differences in adhesive strength of thetape can affect the adhesion rating.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.For a specific hazard statement,see Section 7.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D3330/D3330M Test Method for PeelAdhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tape2.2 Other Document:3Pictorial Standards of Coating Defects3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 dome height,nthe height of the dome formed in thetest.3.1.2 indenting ball diameter,nthe diameter of thespherical-ended penetrator(ball)used to deform the specimen.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe 41-mm(158-in.)diameter ball wasselected because it minimizes the variability in the localizedpeak strain.This size ball is commercially available and is aslarge as most testing machines can accommodate.3.1.3 percent strain,nthe percent elongation of scribedgage lengths after forming.For the draw height of 13 mm(0.512 in.),using a 158-in.diameter ball,the localized peakstrain is about 19%(see Fig.1).4.Summary of Test Method4.1 A coated specimen is biaxially stretched a given dis-tance in an appropriate machine,adhesive tape is applied to thedeformed area(dome)and then pulled off,and the amount ofcoating removed is compared with a photographic standard todetermine the coating adhesion rating.5.Significance and Use5.1 The results of the combined deformation and tape testare related to the ability of the coated metal to withstandstamping in factory applications.5.2 This test can be used to control the manufacturingprocess or in development work to improve the product.5.3 It should be recognized that variability in the resultspersist due to the test conditions and forming machine varia-tions.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.53 on Coil Coated Metal.Current edition approved Sept.1,2018.Published September 2018.Originallyapproved in 1983.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as D4146 10.DOI:10.1520/D4146-10R18.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Copies of the pictorial photographic reference standard are contained in thepublication Pictorial Standards of Coating Defects and may be obtained from theFederation of Societies for Coatings Technology(FSCT),492 Norristown Rd.,BlueBell,PA 19422-2350,http:/www.coatingstech.org.The silver halide gelatin photo-graphs are intended to be the only primary reference standards for this test method.The reproductions of them in this test method are for the purpose of illustration only.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 6.Apparatus and Materials(see Fig.2)6.1 Forming Machine,equipped with a spherical-endedpenetrator to deform the specimen with appropriate dies,untilthe required height is obtained,and clamping arrangement tohold the specimen with a minimum pressure of 8.9 kN(2000lbf).6.1.1 The speed of forming shall
