27、, in the presence of intensifying factors influencing corrosion of metallic materials and alloys with and without permanent or temporary corrosion protection NOTECorrosion tests in artificial atmospheres attempt to reproduce corrosion effects under service conditions, such as atmospheric or other en
28、vironments. 4 Principle 4.1 Acceleration of the processes is achieved by intensifying such factors as temperature, relative humidity, condensation of the moisture and corrosive agents (sulfur dioxide, chlorides, acids, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, etc.). 4.2 The following shall be specified in the tes
29、t programme: the purpose of the test; the nature of the tested metals, alloys or means of corrosion protection (chemical composition, thickness, state of the specimen surface); the method of test: operating conditions, total duration of the test, position and eventually permutation of the test speci
30、mens, frequency of removal and examination of specimens during the test, number of specimens removed and number of control specimens; the calibration of the corrosivity of the atmosphere of the test chamber regardless of specimen orientation in the chamber; the criteria and methods of evaluation of
31、the test results. 4.3 The tests can be classified as follows: a) enhanced environment tests in which the conditions are chosen to duplicate the corrosion mechanism in service conditions, but at an accelerated rate. Tests of this type allow the prediction of long-term corrosion of metals, alloys and
32、means of corrosion protection; b) short-term corrosion tests in which the corrosive environment is chosen to produce accelerated corrosion. Tests of this type allow comparison of corrosion resistance of similar corrosion protection if this has been shown to be valid by practical experience for the s
33、pecific environment; 1) At present at the stage of draft.ENISO7384:1995 4 BSI 09-1999 c) rapid quality control tests in which the corrosive environment is chosen to produce abnormally accelerated corrosion. Tests of this type allow rapid determination of defects and weak points in the corrosion prot
34、ection. The classification of a specific test is dependent on the material tested. 5 Requirements for test specimens 5.1 Irrespective of the method used, all tests shall be carried out using specimens treated or coated in the same way and having the same shape, dimensions and surface roughness. 5.2
35、The shape and dimensions of the test specimens shall be chosen according to the test method, criteria and methods of evaluation of the test results. The thickness of the test specimens shall be preferably between0,5 and3mm; and in any case, be such that they are not deformed during the test. If nece
36、ssary, production articles or their parts with shapes which do not cause difficulties in the evaluation of the test results, may be used as test specimens. In order to exclude, as far as possible, the effect of irregularities the total surface area of the test specimen shall be as large as possible
37、and not less than25cm 2 , except where smaller surface areas are specified in special test regulations. 5.3 The surface roughness of a test specimen shall be specified in the test programme. 5.4 The surface of test specimens of metals and alloys shall be free from visible defects, such as scratches,
38、 inclusions, cracks, pits and porosity. Cut edges should have no burrs. 5.5 The coatings of test specimens shall meet all the requirements of the appropriate International Standards, for example ISO1456, ISO1458, ISO1461, ISO2081, ISO2082. 5.6 If test specimens are cut from a larger coated article,
39、the cutting shall be carried out in such a way as to limit the amount of damage in the area adjacent to the cut. 5.7 While preparing test specimens in which there is a welded joint, the joint shall be placed in the centre of the test specimen parallel to its longest side. 5.8 The cut edges of the te
40、st specimens shall be protected with a suitable coating stable in the chosen corrosive environment; the coating used during testing may be, for example, paint, varnish, wax, tape or enamel. Cut edges shall be left unprotected when the influence of unprotected edges on the corrosion is to be examined
41、. 5.9 The test specimens should be identified. Marking shall be legible and durable over the whole period of testing and shall not have an effect on the test results. 5.10 Control specimens, intended for comparison with the specimens to be removed, shall be stored over the total period of testing un
42、der conditions which prevent corrosion. The conditions shall be specified in the test programme. 5.11 The number of test specimens required is governed by the total duration of the test, the frequency of removal and examination of specimens during the test, the number of test specimens tested and th
43、e number of control specimens specified in the test programme. 5.12 The number of replicate specimens shall be not fewer than three; there shall be at least one control specimen. 6 Requirements for apparatus 6.1 The tests are carried out in special chambers or cabinets which shall be large enough to
44、 assure homogeneous distribution and uniform conditions. The upper parts of the chambers shall be so shaped that drops of moisture or sprayed solution accumulated on them do not fall on the specimens being tested. 6.2 The apparatus shall maintain the specified operating conditions within the exposur
45、e zone of the chamber for the complete duration of the test. 6.3 The specified operating conditions shall be controlled. Values of temperature and relative humidity shall be recorded automatically, except in the case of condensation tests. The concentration of corrosive agents shall be recorded auto
46、matically or determined periodically. 6.4 It is not recommended to use the same chamber for testing different corrosive agents. 6.5 The testing of specimens protected with volatile inhibitors shall be carried out in special chambers intended for this purpose in which traces of volatile inhibitors fr
47、om previous tests have been removed. 6.6 The inside surfaces of parts of chambers, gaskets for hatches and doors, communication equipment and apparatus, devices for testing the test specimens, which are in contact with corrosive agents shall be made of materials that are resistant to the corrosive t
48、est atmosphere. 6.7 If necessary, a system of air circulation shall be installed in order to provide uniform operating conditions throughout the chamber. 6.8 The temperature inside the chamber shall be capable of increasing at a rate of at least 1 C/min upon startup.ENISO7384:1995 BSI 09-1999 5 6.9
49、The specified relative humidity inside the chamber shall be produced by means of a supply of humidified air. For humidification purposes, only distilled or deionized water shall be used. It is not permissible to produce the specified relative humidity inside the chamber by means of salt solutions, as these may influence the corrosion state of the test specimens. 6.10 The time required, from startup, to reach the specified relative humidity inside the chamber shall be not more than1h. 6.11 The temperature
