TS EN ISO 2085 Continuity Control of Anodic Oxidation (Anodized) Coatings of Aluminum Alloys - Copper Sulphate Test

The TS EN ISO 2085 standard published by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) describes a test method for checking the continuity of thin anodic oxidation coatings on aluminum and its alloys with a copper sulfate contact test. Use of this test method is limited to anodic oxidation coatings less than 5 μm thick or deformed coatings, including those produced by coil anodizing techniques.

While preparing this standard, the following standard published by the International Standards Organization (ISO) was taken as a basis: ISO 2085 Anodizing of aluminum and its alloys - Checking the continuity of thin anodic oxidation coatings - Copper sulfate test.

The test method described in this standard provides a quick check of the continuity of a thin aluminum oxidation coating on aluminum and its alloys. In the case of suspicion of an apparent defect on the surface of a coating, using this method makes it possible to verify whether the defect corresponds to a local gap in the coating that exposes bare metal.

This standard refers to the ISO 7583 standard in terms of terms and definitions. This standard defines terms related to anodized aluminum. For example, for the purposes of this standard,

• Anodized aluminum refers to aluminum with an anodic oxidation coating produced by an electrolytic oxidation process in which the surface of the aluminum is converted into a layer consisting mainly of oxide with protective, decorative or functional properties.
• Architectural anodizing refers to anodizing used to obtain an architectural surface for use in permanent, exterior and static situations where both appearance and longevity are important.
• Bulk anodizing refers to putting aluminum parts together through a series of processes, including anodizing, anodizing, and shelving.

Our organization, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of TS EN ISO 2085 standard, anodic oxidation (anodic oxidation) coating of aluminum and aluminum alloys, thin anodic oxidation ( It also provides copper sulfate testing services in the continuity control of anodized coatings.
