Summary of Test Method4.1 The test method determines the potential independ
17、entcritical pitting temperature (CPT) by way of a potentiostatictechnique using a temperature scan and a specimen holder thatis designed to eliminate the occurrence of crevice corrosion(see Fig. 1). The specimen is exposed, either entirely or in part,depending on test cell configuration to a 1M NaCl
18、 solution,initially at 0C. After an initial temperature stabilizationperiod, the solution is heated at a rate of 1C/min. About 60 sbefore the temperature scan is commenced, the specimen isanodically polarized to a potential above the pitting potentialrange. This potential is held constant during the
19、 whole tem-perature scan. A potential of 700 mV versus SCE (25C) hasbeen found suitable for most stainless steels. The current ismonitored during the temperature scan, and the CPT is definedas the temperature at which the current increases rapidly, whichfor practical reasons is defined as the temper
20、ature at which thecurrent density exceeds 100 A/cm2for 60 s. Pitting on thespecimen is confirmed visually after the test.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a prediction of the resistanceto stable propagating pitting corrosion of stainless steels andrelated alloys in a standard medi
21、um (see Note 1). The CPT testcan be used for product acceptance, alloy development studies,and manufacturing control. In the case of product acceptance,the supplier and user must agree upon the preconditioning ofthe specimen with regard to surface finish. The test is notintended for design purposes
22、since the test conditions acceler-ate corrosion in a manner that does not simulate any actualservice environment.5.2 Another method to determine the potential independentCPT with an electrochemical technique has been discussed inthe literature (1-4). This test method involves a potentiody-namic (pot
23、ential sweep) procedure performed on specimens atdifferent temperatures. A comparison (2) of the test methoddescribed in this test method and the potentiodynamic tech-nique has indicated no difference in the test result obtained.6.

24、ts of instruments for measuring electronic signals, a tem-perature controlling apparatus, a specimen holder, and a testcell. The instruments for measuring electronic signals may beintegrated into one instrument package or may be individualcomponents. Either form of instrumentation can provide ac-cep
25、table data. Typical test equipment consists of the following:(1) potentiostat (2) potential measuring instrument (3) currentmeasuring instrument (4) temperature controller (5) tempera-ture measuring instrument (6) test cell (7) specimen holder, and(8) electrodes.6.2 PotentiostatThe potentiostat shal
26、l be able to apply theconstant potential to within 1 mV at a current density of 10mA/cm2. The applied potential is changed either automaticallyor manually by shifting the potential from the open circuitpotential to another more noble potential.6.3 Potential Measuring InstrumentRequirements shall bei

The typical current densities encountered duringthe CPT test are in the range of 1 A/c
28、m2to 10 mA/cm2.6.5 Temperature Controller:6.5.1 Thermostat equipment is required that can providecooling and heating of the test solution in the temperaturerange from 0C to approximately 100C. Further, the tempera-ture controller is used to provide controlled heating, whichgives the test solution te
29、mperature a temperature increase rateof 1C/min in the range from 0C to approximately 100C.6.5.2 Above 10C, the average rate of temperature changeof the test solution shall be 1.0 6 0.3C/min, where the averageis calculated over a temperature range of 10C.6.6 Temperature Measurement Instrumentation, s

Other similar polariza-tion cells may be equally suitable. The gas purger shoulddistribute the gas in
31、numerous small bubbles.6.7.2 Option 2, Flushed-port CellThis cell design is basedon that published by R. Qvarfort (3) and includes the specimenholder in the design. The advantages of this cell design are thatFIG. 1 Determination of CPTG150 132the specimen edges and back do not need to be machined, t
32、hespecimen does not have to be mounted inside the cell, andcrevice corrosion at the contact area of the cell port iscompletely eliminated, even at elevated test temperatures. SeeAppendix X2 for a description of this cell. The gas purgershould distribute the gas in numerous small bubbles.6.7.3 The te
33、st cell shall be able to contain a test solutionvolume of minimum 100 mL per square centimetre test area.Amaximum dilution of 15 % of the test solution during the testperiod is allowed in case a flushed port cell or similararrangement is used.6.8 Specimen Holder:6.8.1 Any part of the specimen holder
34、 coming in contactwith the test solution during testing shall be made of an inertmaterial, and any seal shall not allow leakage of electrolyte.6.8.2 The specimen holder shall have a design that ensuresno occurrence of crevice corrosion at the contact area betweenspecimen holder and specimen.6.8.3 Tw
35、o examples of specimen holder designs in accor-dance with this standard are shown in Appendix X2 andAppendix X3. The major difference between the specimenholder designs lies in the allowable specimen geometry and thenumber of surfaces on the specimen that are being testedsimultaneously.6.9 Electrode
36、s:6.9.1 Auxiliary (Counter) ElectrodeRequirements shall bein accordance with the section Auxiliary Electrodes in TestMethod G5 with the exception that only one counter electrodeis necessary for CPT testing. The electrode material shall be ofa type which can be considered inert under the test conditi
37、ons.6.9.2 Reference ElectrodeThe reference electrode shall bekept at room temperature outside the actual test cell. Thereference electrode shall be capable of ensuring a constantreference potential within 65 mV during the entire testprocedure (see Note 2). Electrical contact to the test solutionshal
38、l be provided by the use of a luggin capillary placed in thetest solution. Requirements shall otherwise be in accordancewith the section on Reference Electrode in Test Method G5.NOTE 2It may be difficult to ensure a fully constant referencepotential due to the large variations in temperature of the
39、test solution;therefore, the allowable is 65 mV. This does, however, not affect themeasured potential independent CPT (1).7. Test Specimens7.1 FinishAny geometry and surface finish (see Note 3)compatible with the chosen specimen holder as specified in 6.8may be used.NOTE 3The state of the surface ma
40、y be dependent on the time andlocation of storage between the final mechanical or chemical surfacetreatment and testing. The time and location of storage may, therefore, insome situations be considered an integral part of the surface finish.7.2 SamplingWhen using this test method to meet productacce
41、ptance criteria, the means of sampling of a test specimenshall be decided by agreement between the parties involved.7.3 Test AreaA minimum test area of 1 cm2shall be used.7.4 Specimens removed from a work piece or component byshearing, cutting, burning, and so forth shall have the affectededges remo
42、ved by grinding or machining, unless it is explicitlyintended to study the effects of these edge factors.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the
43、Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society wheresuch specifications are available.4Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.8.2 Purity of WaterUn
44、less otherwise indicated, referencesto purified water shall be understood to mean reagent water asdefined by Type IV of Specification D1193.8.3 Standard Test SolutionTo prepare 1 L of 1 M sodiumchloride (NaCl) solution, dissolve 58.45 g sodium chloride(NaCl) in purified water to a total solution vol
45、ume of 1 L. Thesolution can be made up in bulk and stored for one month atroom temperature.8.4 Purging GasNitrogen gas of minimum 99.99 % purityshould be used.9. Applied Potential9.1 Standard PotentialAn anodic potential of 700 mVversus SCE (25C) is used. This has been found appropriate formost stai
46、nless steels (1).9.2 Alternative Potential:9.2.1 If uncertainty exists concerning whether the standardpotential is sufficiently high to obtain the potential independentCPT, a test at 800 mV versus SCE (25C) may be performed.A significant deviation between the CPT obtained at 700 mVand 800 mV will in
47、dicate a need for a reevaluation and newchoice of potential.NOTE 4Using a lower potential than the standard potential of 700 mVversus SCE (25C) is fully acceptable, provided the determined CPT stillis potential independent. To change the measurement range provided bythe standard test conditions, a n
48、ew test solution composition will have tobe chosen. Following the choice of test solution, a test potential thatensures the determination of a potential independent CPT will have to bedetermined.9.2.2 Evaluation of differences in obtained CPT at the twopotentials should take into account the repeata
49、bility of the testmethod. The homogeneity of the material used for the twodifferent potentials shall also be considered before an alterna-tive potential is used.10.
