ASTM B533 outlines methods for determining and improving the adhesion between plastic and metal electroplated coating to it. A peel test is used to determine the adhesion between the plastic and metal. ASTM B533 utilizes a universal testing machine and yields reproducible measurements that can be used in research and development, in quality control and product acceptance, in the description of material and process characteristics, and in communications.
