19、rvedBS ISO 17918:2015ISO 17918:2015(E)IntroductionSelective corrosion occurs when some alloys such as brass, bronze, and cast iron come in contact with stagnant solutions for a long time. Materials suffering from selective corrosion may show various symptoms of deterioration such as localized porous

20、 areas (crumbly and fragile), discoloration, change in colour, and so on.This kind of corrosion occurs when one of the alloying elements in alloys is dissolved from the matrix because of potential differences with other alloying elements. Most common types of selective corrosion are dezincification

21、in brass and graphitization in grey cast iron. Selective corrosion is a very slow and inconspicuous process. Once it occurs, it may have an adverse effect on the integrity of components and structures in the industry. Therefore, it is needed to distinguish the symptoms of selective corrosion and rou

22、ghly evaluate the soundness of components and structures in the field that are susceptible to selective corrosion before they are subjected to engineering evaluations.This International Standard specifies the visual inspection and the hardness test for parts made of grey cast iron and uninhibited br

23、ass containing greater than 15 % zinc, etc. in systems and components that are sensitive to selective corrosion. Susceptible materials, high temperatures, stagnant flow conditions, and a corrosive environment, such as acidic solutions for brasses with high zinc content and dissolved oxygen, are the

24、causes of selective corrosion. Components include piping, valve bodies and bonnets, pump casings, and heat exchanger components that are susceptible to selective corrosion. These components can be exposed to raw water, treated water, closed cooling water, ground water, water contaminated fuel oil, o

25、r water contaminated lube oil.The criterion is suggested in this International Standard, whether the materials suffering from selective corrosion can be continuously used or should be subjected to engineering evaluation for further and exact examination. The determination of symptoms of selective co

26、rrosion and degree of deterioration can be made with the procedures as follows: selection of components sensitive to selective corrosion and components for the test (sampling); visual inspection for selective corrosion of alloys; hardness test for selective corrosion of alloys.This International Sta

27、ndard provides examples of data sheets for descriptions and information of materials damaged by selective corrosion in the visual inspection. Provided reference photos of case histories can be used in comparing with the real damages of materials on sites. Examples of a description sheet and an evalu

28、ation sheet are also provided for the hardness test of selective corrosion.

29、asurement1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies procedures of on-site detection and evaluation in order to determine the effects of material deterioration such as material loss from the components and structures that are sensitive to selective corrosion in industrial facilities, including nucl

30、ear power plants.The methodology involves visual inspection and hardness measurements in situ complemented by sample removal. These procedures include (a) representative sampling of components sensitive to selective corrosion, (b) the visual inspection, and (c) the hardness test, respectively. For a

31、n exact analysis, additional laboratory testing is recommended.The methodology is most applicable to grey cast iron and copper alloy with more than 15 % zinc. Extension to other alloys requires supportive evidence of validation.Assessment criteria orientated to the nuclear power plant application du

32、ring the past five years before the end of extended operation define the necessity for further engineering evaluation and action like, for example, further sampling, higher frequency of inspection, and component repair or exchange.This specification is not applicable for components used where the re

33、presentative sampling of surfaces in contact to the fluid is not detectable optically or detected with the portable hardness tester. Also, in case of non-representative component selection like in HVAC or building service application, this specification is not applicable. For components not used in

34、nuclear power plant, the assessment criteria have to be agreed by the parties. Assessment criteria of hardness test alone is not applicable to the evaluation of structural integrity of Al-bronze, NAB, and Cu-Ni.2 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms and definit

There i

41、s the Brinell hardness which can be used as measuring method with the indenter. An informative calculation to other hardness types (Rockwell hardness, Vickers hardness, etc.) can be helpful.3 PrincipleThe result of deterioration from the selective corrosion is the loss of materials followed by a los

42、s of mechanical properties creating a failure.The loss of materials, which may be the reason for failure, can be determined by the visual inspection and the hardness measurement. The visual inspection identifies corrosion, discoloration, change in colour and local porosity, and the hardness test rev

43、eals the change in mechanical properties from the corrosion process at the surface of the test material.4 Procedures4.1 Selection of components sensitive to selective corrosion and components for the testSelection of candidate systems and components for the test and test samples are entirely site-sp

44、ecific considering operating characteristics, sensitivity of materials to degradation, and accessibility. It is recommended that components which are only present in small number in the installation are subjected to 100 % sampling, but that components in large number (e.g. small valves and flanges)

45、are subject to random sampling. In this case, sampling ratio is recommended to be over 10 % of whole components.NOTE “Large number” means the quantity that the inspectors cannot afford to handle in a limited inspection period such as an overhaul period or an in-service inspection period and vice ver

46、sa for “small number”. Decision shall be made on responsibility of site engineers.4.1.1 Components sensitive to selective corrosion of alloysComponents sensitive to selective corrosion are mainly made of copper alloys, aluminium-copper alloys, copper-nickel alloys, and grey cast irons, for example:a

48、;c) Exemption for the test may be permitted for the components periodically subjected to non-destructive tests.4.1.2 Selection of components subjected to the test for selective corrosion4.1.2.1 In principle, components should be subjected to the 100 % sampling inspection for selective corrosion even

49、 though the components made of same materials are under the same environment and the same operating condition. The visual inspection and the hardness test should be performed for the surfaces of object components that have been in contact to corrosive media.4.1.2.2 When it is impossible to perform 100 % sampling because there are numerous object components sensitive to selective corrosion, random sampling can be permitted for the object components. The selected sample components should be subjected to the visual inspection and the hardness test
