United States1Definitions provided herein and not given in Terminology G15are limited only to this standard.4. Significance and Use4.1 These test methods descri
16、be laboratory tests for com-paring the resistance of stainless steels and related alloys to theinitiation of pitting and crevice corrosion. The results may beused for ranking alloys in order of increasing resistance topitting and crevice corrosion initiation under the specificconditions of these met
17、hods. Methods A and B are designed tocause the breakdown of Type 304 at room temperature.4.2 The use of ferric chloride solutions is justified because itis related to, but not the same as, that within a pit or crevice siteon a ferrous alloy in chloride bearing environments (1, 2).4Thepresence of an
18、inert crevice former of consistent dimension ona surface is regarded as sufficient specification of crevicegeometry to assess relative crevice corrosion susceptibility.4.3 The relative performance of alloys in ferric chloridesolution tests has been correlated to performance in certain realenvironmen
19、ts, such as natural seawater at ambient temperature(3) and strongly oxidizing, low pH, chloride containing envi-ronments (4), but several exceptions have been reported (4-7).4.4 Methods A, B, C, D, E, and F can be used to rank therelative resistance of stainless steels and nickel base alloys topitti
20、ng and crevice corrosion in chloride-containing environ-ments. No statement can be made about resistance of alloys inenvironments that do not contain chlorides.4.4.1 Methods A, B, C, D, E, and F were designed toaccelerate the time to initiate localized corrosion relative tomost natural environments.
21、 Consequently, the degree of corro-sion damage that occurs during testing will generally be greaterthan that in natural environments in any similar time period.4.4.2 No statement regarding localized corrosion propaga-tion can be made based on the results of Methods A, B, C, D,EorF.4.4.3 Surface prep
22、aration can significantly influence results.Therefore, grinding and pickling of the specimen will meanthat the results may not be representative of the conditions ofthe actual piece from which the sample was taken.NOTE 1Grinding or pickling on stainless steel surfaces may destroythe passive layer. A
23、 24-h air passivation after grinding or pickling issufficient to minimize these differences (8).4.4.4 The procedures in Methods C, D, E and F formeasuring critical pitting corrosion temperature and criticalcrevice corrosion temperature have no bias because the valuesare defined only in terms of thes
24、e test methods.NOTE 2When testing as-welded, cylindrical, or other non-flatsamples, the standard crevice formers will not provide uniform contact.The use of contoured crevice formers may be considered in suchsituations, but the use of a pitting test (Practices A, C, or E) should beconsidered.5. Appa
25、ratus5.1 GlasswareMethods A, B, C, D, E, and F provide anoption to use either wide mouth flasks or suitable sized testtubes. Condensers are required for elevated temperature testingwhen solution evaporation may occur. Glass cradles or hooksalso may be required.5.1.1 Flask Requirements, 1000-mL wide
26、mouth. Tall formor Erlenmeyer flasks can be used. The mouth of the flask shallhave a diameter of about 40 mm (1.6 in.) to allow passage ofthe test specimen and the support.5.1.2 Test Tube Requirements, the diameter of the test tubeshall also be about 40 mm (1.6 in.) in diameter. If testingrequires u
27、se of a condenser (described below), the test tubelength shall be about 300 mm (about 12 in.); otherwise, thelength can be about 150 to 200 mm (about 6 in. to 8 in.).5.1.3 Condensers, Vents and Covers:5.1.3.1 A variety of condensers may be used in conjunctionwith the flasks described in 5.1.1. These
28、 include the coldfinger-type (see, for example, Practices A262, Practice C) orAllihn type condensers having straight tube ends or taperedground joints. Straight end condensers can be inserted througha bored rubber stopper. Likewise, a simple U tube condensercan be fashioned.NOTE 3The use of ground j
29、oint condensers requires that the mouth ofthe flask have a corresponding joint.5.1.3.2 U Tube Condensers, fitted through holes in anappropriate size rubber stopper can be used in conjunction withthe 300-mm test tube described in 5.1.2.5.1.3.3 When evaporation is not a significant problem,flasks can
30、be covered with a watch glass. Also, flasks as wellas test tubes can be covered with loosely fitted stoppers orplastic or paraffin type wraps.NOTE 4Venting must always be considered due to the possible buildup of gas pressure that may result from the corrosion process.5.1.4 Specimen Supports:5.1.4.1
31、 One advantage of using test tubes is that specimensupports are not required. However, placement of the specimendoes create the possible opportunity for crevice corrosion tooccur along the edge.NOTE 5See 14.2 concerning edge attack.5.1.4.2 When using flasks, specimens can be supported oncradles or h
32、ooks. Cradles, such as those shown in Fig. 1,eliminate the necessity for drilling a support hole in the testspecimen. While the use of hooks requires that a specimensupport hole be provided, the hooks, as contrasted to the cradle,are easier to fashion. Moreover, they create only one potentialcrevice
33、 site whereas multiple sites are possible with the cradle.NOTE 6A TFE-fluorocarbon cradle may be substituted for glass.5.1.4.3 The use of supports for Methods B, D, and F crevicecorrosion specimens is optional.5.2 Water or Oil Bath, constant temperature.5.2.1 For MethodsAand B, the recommended test
34、tempera-tures are 22 6 2C or 50 6 2C, or both.5.2.2 For Methods C, D, E, and F, the bath shall have thecapability of providing constant temperature between 0C and85C 6 1C.5.3 Crevice FormersMethod B:4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.G48 1
35、1 (2015)25.3.1 Cylindrical TFE-fluorocarbon Blocks, two for eachtest specimen. Each block shall be 12.7-mm (0.5 in.) indiameter and 12.7-mm high, with perpendicular grooves1.6-mm (0.063 in.) wide and 1.6-mm deep cut in the top ofeach cylinder for retention of the O-ring or rubber bands.Blocks can be
36、 machined from bar or rod stock.NOTE 7When testing as-welded, cylindrical, or other non-flatsamples, the standard crevice formers will not provide uniform contact.The use of contoured crevice formers may be considered in suchsituations, but the use of the pitting test (PracticeA) should be considere
37、d.The problem of matching the crevice former to the sample surfacebecomes more difficult as the radius of the surface becomes smaller.5.3.2 Fluorinated Elastomers O-rings, or Rubber Bands,(low sulfur (0.02 % max), two for each test specimen.NOTE 8It is good practice to use all O-rings or all rubber
38、bands in agiven test program.5.3.2.1 O-rings shall be 1.75 mm (0.070 in.) in crosssection; one ring with an inside diameter of about 20 mm(0.8 in.) and one with an inside diameter of about 30 mm (1.1in.). Rubber bands shall be one No. 12 (38-mm (1.5-in.) long)and one No. 14 (51-mm (2-in.) long).NOTE
39、 9Rubber bands or O-rings can be boiled in water prior to useto ensure the removal of water-soluble ingredients that might affectcorrosion.5.4 Crevice FormersMethods D and F:5.4.1 A Multiple Crevice Assembly (MCA), consisting oftwo TFE-fluorocarbon segmented washers, each having anumber of grooves a
40、nd plateaus, shall be used. The crevicedesign shown in Fig. 2 is one of a number of variations of themultiple crevice assembly that is in use and commerciallyavailable.5NOTE 10When testing as-welded, cylindrical, or other non-flatsamples, the standard crevice formers will not provide uniform contact
41、.The use of contoured crevice formers may be considered in suchsituations, but the use of pitting tests (Practices C or E) should beconsidered. The problem of matching the crevice former to the samplesurface becomes more difficult as the radius of the surface becomessmaller.5.4.2 Reuse of Multiple C
42、revice Assemblies, when as-sembled to the specified torque, the TFE-fluorocarbon seg-mented washers should not deform during testing. Beforereuse, each washer should be inspected for evidence ofdistortion and other damage. If so affected, they should bediscarded. In some cases, the crevice formers m
43、ay becomestained with corrosion products from the tested alloy.Generally, this staining can be removed by immersion in diluteHCl (for example, 5-10% by volume) at room temperature,followed by brushing with mild detergent and through rinsingwith water.5.4.3 Fasteners, one alloy UNS N10276 (or similar
44、ly resis-tant alloy) fastener is required for each assembly. Eachassembly comprises a threaded bolt and nut plus two washers.The bolt length shall be sized to allow passage through themouth of the glassware described in 5.1.5.5 Tools and Instruments:5.5.1 A 6.35-mm (14-in.) torque limiting nut drive

Ferric Chloride Test Solution6.1 For Methods A and B, dissolve 100 g of reagent gradeferric chloride, FeCl36H2O, in 900 mL of Type IV reagentwater (Specification D1193) (about 6 % FeCl3by mass). Filterthrough glass wool or filter paper to remove insoluble particlesif present.6.
49、2 For Methods C, D, E, and F, dissolve 68.72 g of reagentgrade ferric chloride, FeCl36H2O in 600 mL of reagent waterand add 16 mL of reagent grade concentrated (36.538.0 %)hydrochloric acid (HCl). This will produce a solution contain-ing about 6 % FeCl by mass and 1 % HCl resulting in a pHcontrolled environment over the test temperatures (9).7. Test Specimens7.1 A test specimen 25 by 50 mm (1 by 2 in.) is recom-mended as a standard size, although various shapes and sizescan be tested by this method.
