1、Designation:D6991171Standard Test Method forMeasurements of Internal Stresses in Organic Coatings byCantilever(Beam)Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6991;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the
2、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.1NOTEEditorial corrections were made in Note 2 and Note 3 in October 2017.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the procedure for
3、 measurementsof internal stresses in organic coatings by using the cantilever(beam)method.1.2 This method is appropriate for the coatings for whichthe modulus of elasticity of substrate(Es)is significantlygreater than the modulus of elasticity of coating(Ec)and forwhich the thickness of substrate is
4、 significantly greater thanthickness of coating(see Note 7 and Note 8).1.3 The stress values are limited by the adhesion values ofcoating to the substrate and by the tensile strength of thecoating,or both.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parenth

9、osition by an applied force.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe deflection of the beam is used tomeasure that force acting on the tip.3.1.3 internal stress,na stress system within a solid that isnot dependent on external forces.4.Test Method4.1 Internal stresses in coatings are determined by thecantilever method(
10、Fig.1).Substrate A in the shape of arectangular cantilever beam is clamped by its end B in a specialfixture E.Coating(F)is applied to one side of the beam.Internal stresses occur in the film when it is being cured(drying,cross-linking,etc.).When there is sufficient adhesionbetween the coating and th
11、e substrate,the stresses bend thecantilever beam,forcing its free end D to be deflected from itsoriginal position by a distance of h.The deflection of the beamis measured under an optical microscope and internal stress iscalculated using the equation for the cantilever method.See Eq1 in Section 9,(F
12、ormula 1).5.Significance and Use5.1 Stresses in coatings arise as a result of their shrinkage orexpansion if expected movements are prevented by coatingadhesion to its substrate.5.2 There are several causes leading to arrival of stresses inthecoatings:filmformation(cross-linking,solventevaporation,e
