Product Description

Austenitic Stainless Steel - IGC (Intergranular Corrosion) Testing

Corrosion is an electrochemical reaction between a material and its environment that degrades the material's quality and lifespan. The severity of corrosion is influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and chemical composition.

IGC Testing Practices for Austenitic Stainless Steel

The following standard practices are employed to assess the material's resistance to Intergranular Corrosion (IGC):

• Practice A
• Practice B
• Practice C
• Practice E

Purpose of Corrosion Testing:

Corrosion testing evaluates a material's ability to endure artificially induced corrosive conditions without deterioration. The results are crucial for:

•  Assessing material durability
•  Identifying suitable protective measures
• Conducting Failure Analysis for engineering materials

By implementing these testing methods, industries can ensure improved material performance and prolonged service life.
