Metallische und andere anorganische Überzüge - Elektropolieren als Mittel zum Glätten und Passivieren von nichtrostendem Stahl (ISO 15730:2023)

Dieses Dokument legt die Angaben, die der Auftraggeber dem Auftragnehmer zur Verfügung stellen muss, die Anforderungen an das Elektropolieren und die Prüfverfahren für das Elektropolieren fest, das als Mittel zum Glätten und Passivieren von nichtrostenden Stahllegierungen der Serien S2XXXX, S3XXXX und S4XXXX und ausscheidungshärtender Legierungen (siehe ISO 15510 für Informationen zur chemischen Zusammensetzung) dient.
WARNUNG — Die Anwendung dieses Dokuments kann die Verwendung gefährlicher Stoffe, Arbeitsgänge und Geräte mit sich bringen. Dieses Dokument beansprucht nicht, alle damit verbundenen Sicherheitsprobleme zu behandeln. Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Anwenders dieses Dokuments, geeignete Gesundheits- und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu treffen und die Anwendbarkeit rechtlicher Bestimmungen vor der Anwendung zu überprüfen. Beim Elektropolierverfahren entstehen an den Elektroden große Mengen an Wasserstoffgas und Sauerstoffgas. Es sollten geeignete Luftabsaugungsmaßnahmen ergriffen werden, um sicherzustellen, dass die Gase abgeführt werden. Das Entzünden von Wasserstoffgas kann zu gefährlichen Explosionen führen.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
