Abstract
A test apparatus includes a container 2, a sample 12 and metal bodies 13 and 14 which are immersed in a solution 11 in the container 2, a jig 3, an ammeter 16, and a voltmeter 17. The sample 12, the metal body 13, and the metal body 14 are made of the same metal material and have the same surface area. While pressing the jig 3 rotating relative to the sample 12 against a surface of the sample 12, a current between the sample 12 and the metal body 13 is measured by the ammeter 16, and a voltage between the metal body 13 and the metal body 14 is measured by the voltmeter 17.
Claims16
A test apparatus comprising:
- a container;
- a sample, a first metal body, and a second metal body which are immersed in a solution in the container;
- a jig configured to be pressed against the sample;
- a current measuring unit configured to measure a current between the sample and the first metal body;
- and
- a voltage measuring unit configured to measure a voltage between the first metal body and the second metal body,
- wherein the sample, the first metal body, and the second metal body are made of the same metal material and have the same surface area, and
- wherein the current between the sample and the first metal body is measured by the current measuring unit and the voltage between the first metal body and the second metal body is measured by the voltage measuring unit, while pressing the jig rotating relative to the sample against a surface of the sample.
A test method comprising steps of:
- (a) preparing a test apparatus including a container, a sample, a first metal body, and a second metal body which are immersed in a solution in the container, a jig configured to be pressed against the sample, a current measuring unit, and a voltage measuring unit;
- and
- (b) measuring a current between the sample and the first metal body by the current measuring unit and measuring a voltage between the first metal body and the second metal body by the voltage measuring unit while pressing the jig rotating relative to the sample against a surface of the sample,
- wherein the sample, the first metal body, and the second metal body are made of the same metal material and have the same surface area.
