ASTM B0764-04R21 - Standard Test Method for Simultaneous Thickness and Electrode Potential Determination of Individual Layers in Multilayer Nickel Deposit (STEP Test)

1.1 This test method closely estimates the thickness of individual layers of a multilayer nickel electrodeposit and the potential differences between the individual layers while being anodically stripped at constant current density.2^,3

1.2 This test method does not cover deposit systems other than multilayer electroplated nickel deposits.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
