It is the finish applicator?s responsibility to ensure that all coatings on the piece part meet the appearance and performance requirements as prescribed in this specification and in the applicable Dell Color Standard document.
Soft touch DFT is to be measured using only cross section or tape method. Other methods are not permitted for soft touch DFT measurement.
5.0 Finish Performance Requirements
5.1 Adhesion (ASTM D3359)
For all coatings EXCEPT Conductive Coatings:
Test Parameters:
Curved surfaces or surfaces too small (with one dimension less than 10mm) for Cross-cut – use Method A, “X-cut Tape Test” – Permacell, 3M 250 tape, (or equivalent) shall be used for testing purposes.
Flat surfaces – where possible, use Method B, “Cross-cut Tape Test,” – Permacell, 3M 250 tape (or equivalent) shall be used for testing purposes.
For DFT < 50 μm, make 1mm spaced cuts. For 50 μm to 125 μm, make 2mm spaced cuts. For DFT > 125 μm, use X-cut method.
Piece part test location for adhesion test shall be determined by the piece part drawing. If the specific test location is not called out, test will be performed in the same area as color and gloss measurements.
Adhesion testing shall be conducted prior to and after temperature / humidity conditioning. A separate area shall be tested for each adhesion test. The cuts (cross cut or x-cut) for the adhesion test that is performed after heat / humidity conditioning, shall be made after completion of heat / humidity conditioning.
Rate the adhesion in accordance with the following scales:
Pass Criteria:
4A minimum, (trace peeling or removal along incisions or intersection), for all coating technologies when using method A, (X-cut).
4B minimum, (less than 5% of the area removed), for all coating technologies when using method B, (cross-hatch).
Adhesion classification scale is illustrated in Figure 1. Area calculation from any image analysis software package, (e.g. ImageJ), may be used to calculate the affected areas.
Figure 1Classification of Adhesion Test Results
5.2 Film Hardness by Pencil Test (ASTM D3363)
Test Parameters:
Follow the test method as defined in the ASTM D3363 standard with a 500 gram loading. 2.0 mm calibrated Mitsubishi Uni pencils that meet the hardness scale described in section 5.1 of the ASTM D3363 standard are required.
Piece part test location for hardness test shall be determined by the piece part drawing. If the specific test location is not called out, test will be performed in the same area as color and gloss measurements.
Pencil preparation / use:
Begin testing with the hardest lead in an environment controlled to 25?C ±2?C, 50% ±5% relative humidity on a flat, firm, horizontal surface with the pencil positioned at a 45? angle to the surface. Repeat the process of selecting and testing with progressively softer leads until a lead is identified which fails to scratch the surface. Record the pencil hardness as the hardest lead that will not scratch the surface, (scratch hardness). Repeat 3 times to confirm the accuracy of your conclusion.
Pass Criteria:
Checks shall be made by close visual inspection and fingernail feel. There shall be no visible cuts or scratches per ASTM D3363 when viewed under cool white fluorescent light of 80 to 120 foot-candles at a distance of 18 inches, (460 mm). Inspectors should hold the part 30 degrees from the horizontal plane and rotate the part 30 degrees to the left and right along the vertical axis. Pencil hardness is indicated by the hardest pencil that will leave the film uncut and unscratched. Any defacement of the surface other than a cut (gouge) is considered a scratch. In some cases pencil lead transfer to the surface may be misinterpreted as a scratch. Verify that scratches are indeed scratches by removing any residual pencil lead marks with dry or moist cloth before making the scratch determination.
