Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to provide a series of evaluationsthat will assist engineers dealing with ch
9、emical environmentsin selecting appropriate alloys (1-3). In chemical environments,an important issue for determining general corrosion resistanceis the temperature at which an alloy transitions from corrosionat a low rate to corrosion at a much higher rate. Otherimportant concerns include the tende
10、ncy towards crevicecorrosion and stress corrosion cracking resistance, especially inhot chloride-containing aqueous environments.4.2 This guide is also intended for alloy developers to assistthem in choosing environments and test methods that are ofparticular interest to the chemical process industr
11、ies.4.3 The use of this approach will allow direct comparisonsto be made among alloys from various suppliers and, thereby,to assist engineers in selecting the most appropriate materialsfor further testing to determine suitability in their application.5. General Corrosion Resistance5.1 The general co
12、rrosion resistance of nickel- and iron-based alloys is determined in 14 test solutions at varioustemperatures to determine the lowest temperature at which thecorrosion rate exceeds 0.13 mm/y (5 mpy).

Two environments are provided to evaluate andreport chloride stress corrosion cracking behavioracidifiedsodium chloride and magnesium chloride. The magnesiumchloride environment is highly acidic and, as a
20、 consequence,tends to cause many suitably resistant alloys to fail. Theacidified sodium chloride environment gives results closer toexperience in cooling water and process water environments.7.2 Acidified Sodium Chloride TestTest Method G123should be used to evaluate all alloys for resistance to chl

SUGGESTED LABORATORY TESTING OF IRON- AND NICKEL-BASED ALLOYS FOR CORROSION RESISTANCE INSELECTED MEDIA FOR GENERAL CORROSION PERFORMANCEX1.1 ScopeX1.1.1 This test method describes a suggested procedure forcorrosion tests to determine the relative resistance of wroughtiron- and nickel-bas
30、ed alloys to corrosion in selected media.These tests are intended to provide corrosion data suitable forpreliminary evaluation prior to testing for specific chemicalapplications.X1.1.2 Each alloy is tested in the as-manufactured condi-tion; as-welded specimens may be included. (See X1.3.10.2 forwhen
31、 only the as-welded condition need be tested.)X1.1.3 Specimen evaluation procedures provide for massloss measurements for evaluation of general corrosion and lowpower surface microscopic examination for presence of local-ized corrosion, such as pitting, stress corrosion, intergranularattack, end-gra
32、in corrosion, and preferential weld attack.X1.2 ApparatusX1.2.1 A 1000 mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a refluxcondenser, a sparger with a fitted glass disc for deaeratingcertain solutions, a specimen support system, and a means forcontrolling the temperature of the contents of the flask arerecomm
33、ended for all tests.X1.2.2 All components of the apparatus described in X1.2.1which are in contact with the test environment (liquid and gasphases) are to be made of glass or polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) or other inert nonconductive material.X1.2.3 The temperature-regulating device used for tests a
34、ttemperatures other than the boiling temperature should becapable of controlling the temperature of the contents of theflask to within 61C of the selected test temperature.X1.2.4 The specimen support system should be designed sothat the specimen is separated from the flask and its internalcomponents
35、. The specimen is to be maintained in a verticalposition, totally immersed in the test solution. One desirablesupport system is to use an individual glass cradle for eachspecimen.X1.2.5 A nitrogen sparging system, which is used for initialdeaeration in tests at temperatures below boiling and innon-o
36、xidizing solutions, should be capable of sparging nitro-gen at the rate of 100 mL/min.Adevice to prevent backflow oftest solution into the gas supply system should be included.X1.3 Test SpecimensX1.3.1 The specimens should be made from sheet, plate, orstrip produced by commercial methods.X1.3.2 Mate
37、rial from which the specimens are made shouldbe in the annealed condition, the final heat treatment beingdone after any cold rolling. Temperature of the final heattreatment and method of cooling should be reported.X1.3.3 Thickness of the sheet materials used for specimensshould be between 1.5 and 4.
38、8 mm (0.06 and 0.188 in.). Widthof the specimens should be 20 mm (0.8 in.) and the length 50mm (2.0 in.).X1.3.4 Specimens are to be cut to size by a machiningoperation. If sheared specimens are used, the sheared edges areto be removed by grinding or machining; the amount of metalremoved by machining
39、 should equal the thickness of thespecimen.X1.3.5 All specimens should be abraded to provide auniform surface finish free of scale and dirt, and to remove anysharp edges or burrs due to machining or drilling operations.The final step in this abrading operation should be done withwet No. 80 or dry No
40、. 120 grit abrasive paper. Exercise care toavoid overheating the surface. This step should be omittedwhen the intent of the test is to evaluate mill finish or othersurface conditions.X1.3.6 Specimens should be stamped with identifying let-ters and numbers, using clean, hardened steel stamps.X1.3.7 S
41、pecimens should be measured prior to test and thetotal exposed area, including edges, calculated and reported tothe closest 65 mm2(0.1 in.2).G157 98 (2013)3X1.3.8 Following the abrasive treatment, the specimensshould be cleaned with a magnesium oxide paste or detergentsolution to remove any residual
42、 dirt or grease, rinsed in water,and dipped in acetone and air dried.X1.3.9 The dried specimens should be weighed to anaccuracy of at least 60.2 mg. Weighed specimens should bestored in a desiccator for at least 24 h before use.X1.3.10 Two kinds of specimens may be used: (1)asmanufactured specimens
43、and (2) as-welded specimens.X1.3.10.1 As-Manufactured SpecimensThese specimensshould be prepared according to the procedure described inX1.3.1-X1.3.9.X1.3.10.2 As-Welded SpecimensThe principal reason forusing these specimens is to evaluate the corrosion resistance ofthe weld deposit. However, where
44、the corrosion resistance ofthe weld deposit is equal to, or better than, that of the parentmetal, a welded specimen can be used in lieu of the as-manufactured specimen and thus avoid running an additionaltest. The welded specimens should be prepared from materialdescribed in X1.3.1 and X1.3.2. The m
45、inimum thickness ofmaterial for these specimens should be 3.0 mm (0.12 in.). Theweld should be made so that it will be in the center of thespecimen and be parallel to the long direction of the specimen.The weld should be a gas-tungsten arc (GTAW) with fillermetal. The filler metal and welding proced
46、ure should corre-spond to that recommended by the manufacturer for fabricationof process equipment. The weld bead should be ground ormachined flush with the base metal.The final preparation of thespecimen should be as specified in X1.3.3-X1.3.9. Thereshould be no post-weld heat treatment.X1.4 Test S
47、olutionsX1.4.1 Test solution should be prepared accurately fromreagent grade chemicals conforming to the Specifications ofthe Committee onAnalytical Reagents of theAmerican Chemi-cal Society,4and Specification D1193 Type IV reagent water.X1.4.2 The compositions of the various test solutions aregiven
