Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel plate coating technology, and specifically to a method for detecting pressure spots. Background Technology

[0002] During the production, packaging, and transportation of steel plate coated products (such as color coated plates), packaging materials (such as foam boards and plastic films) are in long-term contact with the surface of the steel plate. Under the influence of gravity and heat and humidity, the surface of the steel plate is prone to defects such as pressure marks and transfer marks. These defects directly affect the appearance of the product and are an important and intuitive basis for users to judge the quality of the product.

[0003] Currently, the testing of coated steel products focuses on the basic performance compliance of the coating during the production process, such as coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, and single damp heat aging performance. In laboratory testing, these performances are mainly tested based on single environmental factors or single material properties, without experimental simulation of the combined effects of packaging materials, gravity, and damp heat. As a result, the laboratory cannot simulate the stress state of the finished product during actual packaging and transportation, the contact of packaging materials, and the coupling effect of damp heat environment. Consequently, it is impossible to predict the performance of pressure mark transfer on the steel plate surface in advance. If such defects are only discovered after the finished product leaves the factory, not only is the handling process cumbersome, requiring additional manpower and resources for rework or replacement, increasing production costs, but it may also affect customer satisfaction, causing economic losses and damage to brand reputation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for detecting pressure marks, employing a non-condensing damp heat method. Through experimental equipment, sample preparation processes, and experimental procedures, it achieves precise laboratory testing of the pressure mark transfer performance of steel plate surfaces. Using the method provided by this invention, it is possible to simulate the synergistic effects of packaging materials, gravity, and damp heat in the laboratory, thereby enabling early prediction of the product's damage resistance in actual packaging and transportation environments. This effectively reduces pressure mark transfer defects in finished products, lowers processing costs, and improves production efficiency, demonstrating significant practical value.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for detecting pressure spots, the testing process is as follows: S1, Equipment Debugging Turn on the constant temperature and humidity test chamber, adjust the temperature and humidity, and wait until the temperature and humidity are stable and there is no condensation on the sample surface before proceeding to the test stage; S2, Sample Layout The pre-treated sample was placed in the test chamber, and then the packaging material and cushioning pad were covered on the surface of the sample in sequence to ensure that the packaging material was in close contact with the surface of the sample. Then, an 8kg weight was placed on top of the cushioning pad to simulate the gravitational compression effect during actual transportation. S3, running Under the test conditions set in S1, run continuously for the specified time, then stop the test and the test is complete.

[0006] Preferably, in step S1, the temperature and humidity of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber are set using conventional settings or according to customer requirements.

[0007] Preferably, under normal settings, the temperature of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber is 50±2℃, and the relative humidity is not less than 95%.

[0008] Preferably, in step S3, the running time is set using a conventional setting or according to customer requirements.

[0009] Preferably, the running time is 120 hours under normal settings.

[0010] The preferred method for detecting pressure spots is as follows: Step 1: Experimental Apparatus and Materials The constant temperature and humidity test chamber mainly includes a heating device, a temperature and humidity measuring device, a temperature and humidity regulating device, and a forced ventilation system, ensuring that there is no condensation on the test surface during the test; Distilled or deionized water with a conductivity not exceeding 20 μS / cm should be used to avoid water impurities affecting the test results. Auxiliary materials: 100mm×80mm×20mm foam board to simulate packaging cushioning material; 8kg weight to simulate gravity compression during transportation; packaging materials; Step 2, Sample preparation and pretreatment Sample specifications: Test specimens with dimensions not less than 150mm×200mm, with a flat surface, free of oil stains, damage, and burrs on the edges, to avoid the initial state of the specimen affecting the test results; Pretreatment: Place the samples in an environment with a temperature of 23±2℃ and a relative humidity of 50±5% for at least 24 hours before testing to ensure that the samples are in a uniform condition; Step 3, Testing; Step 4, Result Evaluation After the test, the sample is removed. If there is no transfer mark on the sample surface, it is considered qualified; if there is a transfer mark, it is considered unqualified.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The pressure mark detection method provided by the present invention involves covering the sample surface with packaging material and buffer pad in sequence, and then pressing weights on the buffer pad to compress the sample under temperature and humidity control conditions. This realizes the simulation of accurate detection conditions for pressure mark to imprint defects on steel plate surface in the laboratory, filling the technical gap that existing detection methods cannot predict such defects in advance.

[0012] 2. Using the method of the present invention, products with unqualified pressure resistance performance can be screened out before leaving the factory, preventing defective products from entering the market, reducing the cost and cumbersome process of reworking and replacing finished products, and lowering production costs.

[0013] 3. The test process is standardized, easy to operate, and highly repeatable. It can effectively guide the optimization of production processes, improve the overall appearance quality of products, enhance user satisfaction, and significantly improve production and testing efficiency.
