Detection Purpose: Check the resistance of materials to intercrystalline corrosion

Detection range: Stainless steel and its alloys

Intercrystalline corrosion:


A type of local corrosion. Corrosion extending internally along the boundary between metallic grains. Intergranular corrosion is a kind of local corrosion failure that occurs and develops along or close to the intergranular of materials in a suitable corrosion environment. Intercrystalline corrosion starts from the surface of metal materials and develops inwards along grain boundaries, resulting in the loss of intercrystalline adhesion and almost complete loss of material strength. For example, stainless steel, which suffers from intercrystalline corrosion, is still very bright, but can be broken into fine powder when struck lightly.


Stainless steel intercrystalline corrosion C method — Test method for 65% nitric acid corrosion of stainless steel


It is suitable for evaluating intercrystalline corrosion tendency by corrosion rate after boiling austenitic stainless steel in 65% nitric acid solution.
