NES M0132 Thermal Cycling Test Methods for Automotive Plastic Parts

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of NES M0132 standard. The NES M0132 test, a thermal cycling test method of automotive plastic parts, covers the examination of the dynamic relationship between temperature and some properties of a system, such as mass, reaction rate or volume.

NES M0132 Thermal Cycling Test Methods for Automotive Plastic Parts

The harsh conditions that the part may be exposed to are examined by sequential thermal and corrosion tests. Before starting the tests, it is necessary to check the layer thicknesses and confirm the surface compatibility of the parts. Parts that receive thickness and surface control approval first undergo thermal cycling testing.

As a result of these tests, a visual inspection is made on the part and cracks and corrosion effects are observed. Structural defects, cracks, polluting objects on the chrome-plated surface adversely affect the appearance and performance of the part, and the test result is determined as negative.

In thermal cycling analysis, generally elastoplastic material model is used. The modulus of elasticity of the materials, the poisson ratio, the stress-strain curves of the plastic region and thermal expansion coefficients are needed for thermal analysis.
