Nickel-based alloys - Determination of resistance to intergranular corrosion (ISO 9400:1990)

Includes four methods: iron(III) sulfate - sulfuric acid test, copper - copper-sulfate - sulfuric acid test, hydrochloric acid test and nitric acid test. ISO 9400 defines the term nickel-based alloy. Specifies apparatus, test specimens, procedure and evaluation.

Legierungen auf Nickelbasis - Bestimmung der Beständigkeit gegen interkristalline Korrosion (ISO 9400:1990)

Die vorliegende Internationale Norm legt für Nickelbasislegierungen vier Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Anfälligkeit gegen interkristalline Korrosion fest. Diese Methoden sind nur zur Ermittlung der Empfindlichkeit gegen interkristalline Korrosion unter Laborbedingungen geeignet und eine Übertragbarkeit auf tatsächliche Betriebsbedingungen muß nicht gegeben sein, wenn nicht Betriebs- und Prüfmedium übereinstimmen.

Alliages a base de nickel - Détermination de la résistance a la corrosion intergranulaire (ISO 9400:1990)

La présente Norme internationale prescrit quatre méthodes pour la détermination de la sensibilité des alliages à base de nickel à la corrosion intergranulaire. Ces méthodes ne sont utilisables qu'en laboratoire, et il n'est pas possible d'établir une corrélation directe avec la corrosion intergranulaire en service normal, à moins que le milieu ambiant en service ne soit le même qu'en essai. Les méthodes couvertes sont les suivantes: -- Méthode A: Essai au sulfate de fer(III) et à l'acide sulfurique (section 2). -- Méthode B: Essai au cuivre, au sulfate de cuivre et à l'acide sulfurique à 16 % (section 3). -- Méthode C: Essai à l'acide chlorhydrique (section 4). -- Méthode D: Essai à l'acide nitrique (section 5). La méthode la meilleure à utiliser pour un alliage donné, le choix du traitement de sensibilisation et les critères de réception utilisés pour l'évaluation quelle qu'elle soit, doivent être convenus entre l'acheteur et le vendeur de l'alliage. Les méthodes prescrites dans la présente Norme internationale, à titre indicatif, sont applicables aux alliages à base de nickel employés en milieu corrosif, énumérés dans ISO 6207.

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. Esch 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, govern-
mental 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an lnter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 9400 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 156, Corrosion of mefals and alloys.
