It is prima-rily for tests of wrought heat treatable aluminum alloys (2XXXand 7XXX) but may be used for other aluminum alloys,including castings. It sets forth the specimen preparationprocedures and the environmental conditions

No. 151b Method 822.1,Intergranular Corrosion Test for Aluminum Alloys33. Summary of Practice3.1 This practice consists of immersing etched test speci-mens in a sodium

10、 chloride + hydrogen peroxide solution for 6or more hours. After immersion, metallographic sections areexamined to determine the extent of intergranular corrosion(see Terminology G15).4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is especially useful for evaluating theadequacy of quenching when performed

11、 on material in theas-quenched condition. The practice may also be used to studythe effect of subsequent thermal processes (for example, paintor bonding cures) or of actual precipitation treatments on theinherent type of corrosion. Intergranular corrosion resistance ofheat treatable aluminum alloys

12、is often directly related to thequenching conditions applied after solution heat treatment andto the subsequent aging treatment.44.2 This practice is not well suited for non-heat treatablework hardening aluminum alloys, such as the 1XXX, 3XXX,and 5XXX series (see Test Method G67).4.3 This practice d

17、. Reagents5.1 Reagent grade chemicals sodium chloride (NaCl), 70 %nitric acid (HNO3), 48 % hydrofluoric acid (HF), 37 % hydro-chloric acid (HCl), and 30 % hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) shallbe used for preparation of all solutions.5.2 The solutions shall be prepared using distilled or deion-ized water co

18、nforming to the purity requirements for Specifi-cation D 1193, Type IV reagent water.6. Solutions6.1 Etching cleaner shall be prepared as follows: To 945 mLof reagent water add 50 mL of nitric acid (70 %) + 5 mL ofhydrofluoric acid (48 %). (See 6.2).6.2 Test solution shall be prepared as follows: 57

19、 grams ofsodium chloride +10 mL of hydrogen peroxide (30 %addjust prior to initiation of exposure) diluted to 1.0 L with reagentwater. (WarningCare should be exercised in handling andmixing strong acids to avoid personal injury and damage toapparatus. Care should include use of personal protectiveeq

20、uipment and use of appropriate apparatus and procedures forparticular acids.)NOTE 2The concentration of the 30 % hydrogen peroxide maydegrade; therefore, it should be verified before each use by the procedurestated in Test Method G69.6.3 Metallographic etchant (Kellers etch) shall be preparedas foll

21、ows: To 95 mL of reagent water add 2.5 mL of nitric acid(70 %) + 1.5 mL of hydrochloric acid (37 %) + 1.0 mL ofhydrofluoric acid (48 %). A number of other etchants may beused, depending on the alloy and temper being examined (seePractice E 407) (see 6.2).7. Specimen Preparation7.1 Place an identific

22、ation mark on each specimen in an areathat will not be subject to metallographic examination.7.2 The entire surface of the specimen must be free of allforeign matter, including cladding, coatings, dirt, oils, andother residues.7.3 Claddings (especially alcladding) shall be removedeither mechanically

23、 or chemically to a depth of at least twicethe nominal cladding thickness. Chemical removal can beaccomplished by immersion in a 5 % sodium hydroxidesolution at 140F followed by immersion for 1 min inconcentrated nitric acid. Examine typical specimen crosssections to be certain that cladding has bee

24、n removed.7.4 Organic materials, such as coatings, soil, oils, and otherresidues, should be removed with organic solvents, for ex-ample, acetone (see Practice G1).7.5 Prior to immersion in the test solution, immerse eachspecimen for 1 min in the etching cleaner (see 6.1) at 93C.Rinse in reagent wate

25、r. Immerse in concentrated nitric acid(70 %) for 1 min. Rinse in reagent water and air dry.8. Test Setup8.1 The test vessel should be of nonmetallic material ofsufficient size to hold at least 5 mL of test solution per squarecm of specimen surface area.8.2 More than one specimen may be placed in a t

26、est vessel,provided specimens do not contact each other and providedcondition outlined in 8.1 is observed.8.3 Specimens shall be prevented from contacting the bot-tom of the test vessel by placing the specimens on glass rods orrubber stoppers. (Rubber stoppers may be deteriorated byhydrogen peroxide

27、.)8.4 The exposure shall be conducted at a temperature of 306 3C.9. Procedure9.1 Immerse the etched specimens in the test solution for aperiod of at least 6 h. Longer exposure periods of 24 hours ormore may be used by agreement, especially in the case ofcorrosion resistant alloys and tempers (for ex

28、ample, 6XXXalloys). Shorter exposure periods of less than 6 h may beappropriate for very thin sheet.9.2 After exposure, rinse each specimen with reagent waterand allow to dry.9.3 Examination of specimens.9.3.1 Examine each exposed specimen at a magnification of10 times or less to locate areas of cor

29、rosion attack.9.3.2 Prepare at least one metallographic cross sectionapproximately 20 mm in length from each specimen, prefer-ably through a corroded area identified in 9.3.1. Prepare eachsection by mounting and metallographically polishing (seeGuide E3).9.3.3 Examine the unetched polished surface w

30、ith a metal-lograph at magnifications of 100 to 500 times. If there isuncertainty as to the presence of intergranular corrosion, etchthe polished surface to reveal the grain structure by immersionin the metallographic etchant solution for 6 to 20 s, rinse, dry,and reexamine at 500 times.9.4 Compare
