ASTM C424 Test for Crazing Resistance of Fired Glazed Whitewares by Autoclave Treatment
ASTM C424 test method is used to determine the crazing resistance of fired glazed whitewares using the autoclave treatment and under the conditions specified in this test method. The values stated in imperial units are regarded as standard.
Scope:
Crazing is the phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of glazed whiteware. ASTM C424 test method determines how resistant a ceramic specimen is to crazing by using an autoclave. This method is particularly useful for porous materials that can exhibit moisture expansion. This test is used in specifications, quality control, and research and development. It is also used as a referee test method in purchasing contracts or agreements.
Test Procedure:
ASTM C424 test is carried out using an autoclave. An autoclave is a machine used to carry out scientific processes requiring elevated temperature and pressure. The specimen is placed in the autoclave. The autoclave is gradually heated until it reaches the desired temperature and pressure. The autoclave is allowed to cool for 30 min. The specimen is removed from the autoclave and allowed to cool for 30 min before the examination. To detect crazing failures, ink is applied on the glazed surface, and oblique lighting is used. Only failures visible to the naked eye are considered.

Specimen size:
This ASTM C424 test requires at least ten identical uncut specimens with facial dimensions up to and including 6 by 6 inches. For larger specimens, specifically tile products, five samples will suffice. Larger specimens may be cut to fit into the autoclave. However, all cut pieces should be as large as possible, and all cut pieces are to be tested.
Data:
The following information is reported in ASTM C424:
Table listing each steam pressure with the number of specimens failing at each pressure.
Average failure pressure, calculated by multiplying each pressure by the number of specimens failing at that pressure and dividing the sum of these products by the total number of pieces tested, and
Time consumed for steam release, if the pressure was not released immediately after each test.
Conclusion:
ASTM C424 test method determines how resistant a ceramic specimen is to crazing by using an autoclave. This method is particularly useful for porous materials that can exhibit moisture expansion.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
