Determination of ferrite content in austenitic stainless steel castings (ISO 13520:2023)
Procedures are covered for estimating ferrite content in certain grades of austenitic iron-chromium-nickel alloy castings that have compositions balanced to create the formation of ferrite as a second phase in amounts controlled within specified limits. Methods are described for estimating ferrite content by chemical, magnetic and metallographic means.

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 documents 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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Determination of ferrite content in austenitic stainless
steel castings
1 Scope
Procedures are covered for estimating ferrite content in certain grades of austenitic iron-chromium-
nickel alloy castings that have compositions balanced to create the formation of ferrite as a second
phase in amounts controlled within specified limits. Methods are described for estimating ferrite
content by chemical, magnetic and metallographic means.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminology databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
ferrite
ferromagnetic, body-centred cubic microstructural constituent of variable chemical composition in
iron-chromium-nickel alloys
Note 1 to entry: Ferrite includes both delta and alpha species.
3.2
ferrite content
proportion of total volume of an iron-chromium-nickel alloy present as the ferrite phase
3.3
ferrite percentage
ferrite content expressed as a volume percent
4 Significance effects of ferrite content
The tensile and impact properties, the weldability, and the corrosion resistance of iron-chromium-
nickel alloy castings may be influenced beneficially or detrimentally by the ratio of the amount of ferrite
to the amount of austenite in the microstructure. The ferrite content may be limited by purchase order
requirements or by the design construction codes governing the equipment in which castings will be
used. The quantity of ferrite in the structure is fundamentally a function of the chemical composition
of the alloy and its thermal history. Because of segregation, the chemical comp
