Summary of Test Method4.1 The test method determines the potential independen

20、t critical pitting temperature (CPT) by way of a potentiostatic techniqueusing a temperature scan and a specimen holder that is designed to eliminate the occurrence of crevice corrosion (see Fig. 1). Thespecimen is exposed, either entirely or in part, depending on test cell configuration to a 1M NaC

21、l solution, initially at 0C. Afteran initial temperature stabilization period, the solution is heated at a rate of 1C/min. About 60 s before the temperature scan iscommenced, the specimen is anodically polarized to a potential above the pitting potential range. This potential is held constantduring

22、the whole temperature scan. A potential of 700 mV versus SCE (25C) has been found suitable for most stainless steels.The current is monitored during the temperature scan, and the CPT is defined as the temperature at which the current increasesrapidly, which for practical reasons is defined as the te

23、mperature at which the current density exceeds 100 A/cm2 for 60 s. Pittingon the specimen is confirmed visually after the test.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a prediction of the resistance to stable propagating pitting corrosion of stainless steels and relatedalloys in a standa

24、rd medium (see Note 1). The CPT test can be used for product acceptance, alloy development studies, andmanufacturing control. In the case of product acceptance, the supplier and user must agree upon the preconditioning of thespecimen with regard to surface finish. The test is not intended for design

25、 purposes since the test conditions accelerate corrosionin a manner that does not simulate any actual service environment.5.2 Another method to determine the potential independent CPT with an electrochemical technique has been discussed in theliterature (1-4). This test method involves a potentiodyn

26、amic (potential sweep) procedure performed on specimens at differenttemperatures. A comparison (2) of the test method described in this test method and the potentiodynamic technique has indicatedno difference in the test result obtained.FIG. 1 Determination of CPTG150 1826. Apparatus6.1 The apparatu

27、s necessary for determining the CPT consists of instruments for measuring electronic signals, a temperaturecontrolling apparatus, a specimen holder, and a test cell. The instruments for measuring electronic signals may be integrated intoone instrument package or may be individual components. Either

28、form of instrumentation can provide acceptable data. Typical testequipment consists of the following: (1) potentiostat (2) potential measuring instrument (3) current measuring instrument (4)temperature controller (5) temperature measuring instrument (6) test cell (7) specimen holder, and (8) electro

29、des.6.2 PotentiostatThe potentiostat shall be able to apply the constant potential to within 1 mV at a current density of 10mA/cm2. The applied potential is changed either automatically or manually by shifting the potential from the open circuit potentialto another more noble potential.6.3 Potential

30、 Measuring InstrumentRequirements shall be in accordance with the section on Potential Measuring Instrumentsin Test Method G5.6.4 Current Measuring InstrumentsAn instrument that is capable of measuring a current accurately to within 5 % of the actualvalue. The typical current densities encountered d

31、uring the CPT test are in the range of 1 A/cm2 to 10 mA/cm2.6.5 Temperature Controller:6.5.1 Thermostat equipment is required that can provide cooling and heating of the test solution in the temperature range from0C to approximately 100C. Further, the temperature controller is used to provide contro

32、lled heating, which gives the test solutiontemperature a temperature increase rate of 1C/min in the range from 0C to approximately 100C.6.5.2 Above 10C, the average rate of temperature change of the test solution shall be 1.0 6 0.3C/min, where the average iscalculated over a temperature range of 10C

33、.6.6 Temperature Measurement Instrumentation, shall be capable of measuring the temperature of the test solution with anaccuracy of 60.4C.6.7 Test Cell:6.7.1 Option 1, G5 TypeThe test cell should be similar to the one described inTest Method G5. Other similar polarization cellsmay be equally suitabl

34、e. The gas purger should distribute the gas in numerous small bubbles.6.7.2 Option 2, Flushed-port CellThis cell design is based on that published by R. Qvarfort (3) and includes the specimenholder in the design. The advantages of this cell design are that the specimen edges and back do not need to

35、be machined, thespecimen does not have to be mounted inside the cell, and crevice corrosion at the contact area of the cell port is completelyeliminated, even at elevated test temperatures. See Appendix X2 for a description of this cell. The gas purger should distribute thegas in numerous small bubb

36、les.6.7.3 The test cell shall be able to contain a test solution volume of minimum 100 mL per square centimetre test area. Amaximum dilution of 15 % of the test solution during the test period is allowed in case a flushed port cell or similar arrangementis used.6.8 Specimen Holder:6.8.1 Any part of

37、the specimen holder coming in contact with the test solution during testing shall be made of an inert material,and any seal shall not allow leakage of electrolyte.6.8.2 The specimen holder shall have a design that ensures no occurrence of crevice corrosion at the contact area betweenspecimen holder

38、and specimen.6.8.3 Two examples of specimen holder designs in accordance with this standard are shown in Appendix X2 and Appendix X3.The major difference between the specimen holder designs lies in the allowable specimen geometry and the number of surfaceson the specimen that are being tested simult

39、aneously.6.9 Electrodes:6.9.1 Auxiliary (Counter) ElectrodeRequirements shall be in accordance with the sectionAuxiliary Electrodes in Test MethodG5 with the exception that only one counter electrode is necessary for CPT testing. The electrode material shall be of a type whichcan be considered inert

40、 under the test conditions.6.9.2 Reference ElectrodeThe reference electrode shall be kept at room temperature outside the actual test cell. The referenceelectrode shall be capable of ensuring a constant reference potential within 65 mV during the entire test procedure (see Note 2).Electrical contact

41、 to the test solution shall be provided by the use of a luggin capillary placed in the test solution. Requirementsshall otherwise be in accordance with the section on Reference Electrode in Test Method G5.NOTE 2It may be difficult to ensure a fully constant reference potential due to the large varia

42、tions in temperature of the test solution; therefore, theallowable is 65 mV. This does, however, not affect the measured potential independent CPT (1).7. Test Specimens7.1 FinishAny geometry and surface finish (see Note 3) compatible with the chosen specimen holder as specified in 6.8 maybe used.NOT

43、E 3The state of the surface may be dependent on the time and location of storage between the final mechanical or chemical surface treatmentG150 183and testing. The time and location of storage may, therefore, in some situations be considered an integral part of the surface finish.7.2 SamplingWhen us

44、ing this test method to meet product acceptance criteria, the means of sampling of a test specimen shallbe decided by agreement between the parties involved.7.3 Test AreaA minimum test area of 1 cm2 shall be used.7.4 Specimens removed from a work piece or component by shearing, cutting, burning, and

45、 so forth shall have the affectededges removed by grinding or machining, unless it is explicitly intended to study the effects of these edge factors.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that allr

46、eagents conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society where suchspecifications are available.4 Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purityto permit its use without lessening the ac

47、curacy of the determination.8.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, references to purified water shall be understood to mean reagent water asdefined by Type IV of Specification D1193.8.3 Standard Test SolutionTo prepare 1 L of 1 M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, dissolve 58.45 g sodium chlor

48、ide (NaCl)in purified water to a total solution volume of 1 L. The solution can be made up in bulk and stored for one month at roomtemperature.8.4 Purging GasNitrogen gas of minimum 99.99 % purity should be used.9. Applied Potential9.1 Standard PotentialAn anodic potential of 700 mV versus SCE (25C)

49、 is used. This has been found appropriate for moststainless steels (1).9.2 Alternative Potential:9.2.1 If uncertainty exists concerning whether the standard potential is sufficiently high to obtain the potential independent CPT,a test at 800 mV versus SCE (25C) may be performed.Asignificant deviation between the CPT obtained at 700 mV and 800 mVwill indicate a need for a reevaluation and new choice of potential.NOTE 4Using a lower potential than the standard potential of 700 mV versus SCE (25C) is fully acceptable, provided the determine
