Standard Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack in Austenitic Stainless Steels

 
ASTM A262 covers the standard practices for detecting susceptibility to intergranular attack in austenitic stainless steels. These practices include five intergranular corrosion tests, namely: (1) oxalic acid etch test for classification of etch structures of austenitic stainless steels; (2) ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid test, (3) nitric acid test and (4) copper-copper sulfate-sulfuric acid test for detecting susceptibility to intergranular attack in austenitic stainless steels; and (5) copper-copper sulfate-50% sulfuric acid test for detecting susceptibility to intergranular attack in molybdenum-bearing cast austenitic stainless steels.
WJE laboratories are accredited by ANAB (ISO/IEC 17025) to perform testing standard ASTM A262 for Standard Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack in Austenitic Stainless Steels. Contact us to learn more.
