Thecontainer and contents, with thermometer and condenser af-fixed, are placed on a source of heat. When the magnesiumchloride solution boils, it is adjusted to maintain the de

19、finterest. However, such correlations may not always be pos-sible.5.3 Boiling magnesium chloride may also cause pitting ofmany stainless alloys. This leads to the possibility of confusingstress-corrosion failures with mechanical failures induced bycorrosion-reduced net cross sections. This danger is

20、 particu-larly great when small cross section samples, high appliedstress levels, long exposure periods, stress-corrosion resistantalloys, or a combination thereof are being used. Carefulexamination is recommended for correct diagnosis of the causeof failure.6. Apparatus6.1 Any inert, transparent ap

21、paratus with provisions for athermometer and water-cooled condenser can be used, pro-vided that it has been designed to contain the stressed specimenwhile maintaining a constant temperature and concentration ofthe magnesium chloride solution by minimizing or preventinglosses of condensate and water

22、vapor during prolonged periodsof test. Small losses of water from a solution of magnesiumchloride will lead to large increases in the boiling point of thesolution with a reduction in the time to failure of a specimen bystress corrosion cracking.Asuggested apparatus, shown in Fig.X1.1, meets these re

23、quirements. Design details of this appara-tus are given in Appendix X1.7. Reagents7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the A

24、merican Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.6Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterReagent water Type IV (SpecificationD 119

25、3) shall be used to prepare the test solutions.7.3 Magnesium Chloride (MgCl26H2O)A solution ofmagnesium chloride that boils at 155.0 6 1.0C (311.0 61.8F) is used in this test. A second 25 weight percent solutionof magnesium chloride is required for the trap if the testduration exceeds seven days wit

26、hout a solution change and thesuggested apparatus is used.7.3.1 To prepare about 400 mL of the test solution for use ina 1-L Erlenmeyer flask or other container, weigh 600 g ofreagent grade MgCl26H2O and add this to the flask containinga thermometer along with 15 mL of reagent water.7.3.2 Add 10 to

27、15 boiling chips or other boiling aids.7.3.3 Heat by placing the flask on a hot plate or othersuitable source of heat and put the condenser in place, leavingoff the trap. Hook up the cooling water supply to the condenser.7.3.4 When the solution boils vigorously and there is nomore dripping of conden

28、sate, slowly add small quantities (4 to5 mL) of reagent water at the top of the condenser to reduce thetemperature to 155.0C (311.0F). Use extreme caution whenadding the water to the boiling magnesium chloride solution.Cool water can form a layer on top of the magnesium chloride,and when it reaches

29、the bottom of the flask, bumping can occur.Use a protective shield.NOTE 1If too much water has been added, add some crystals ofMgCl26H2O through the condenser until a temperature of 155.0C(311.0F) is attained.7.4 To prepare the 25 weight percent solution for the trap(Fig. X1.3), place 53.4 g of MgCl

30、26H2O and 46.6 mL ofreagent water in a flask and allow the crystals to dissolve atroom temperature.8. Safety Precautions8.1 When cold, magnesium chloride can be handled withthe minimum protective equipment of rubber gloves andgoggles. Maximum protective measures should be taken toprevent boiling mag

31、nesium chloride from coming into contactwith the skin. Severe burns can result as the hot magnesiumchloride adheres to the skin forming a crust which causes deepburns. The severity of the burns can be reduced by takingproper and immediate first aid measures and by contacting aphysician.8.1.1 In the

32、advent of a spill or accident, the hot magnesiumchloride should be quickly flushed from the skin with largequantities of cold water to minimize the burning, followed byimmediate first aid and medical attention.6Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications , AmericanChemical Society, W

36、acturer or supplier.8.1.5 Do not remelt the solidified magnesium chloride.Localized melting adjacent to the heat source and below thesolid layer of magnesium chloride can cause sufficient stressesthrough volume expansion to crack the containing vessel.9. Test Specimens9.1 Any type of stress corrosio

37、n test specimen can be usedwith this test solution.7See Practice G1and G30.9.2 The test specimen must be thick enough so that theapplied stress does not cause mechanical rupture when thecross section is reduced by pitting or general corrosion.9.3 Whenever possible, only one specimen should be tested

38、in each flask. If more than one specimen is tested in a flask, thespecimens should be of the same alloy in order to avoid thepossible deleterious effects of the corrosion products of onealloy on the performance of the other alloy.9.4 The test specimens must be kept from direct contactwith heated sur

39、faces by glass supports. Metal specimen holdersused for stressing specimens should also be supported on glassrods or tubes. The design for two types of test specimens thatcan be used with the suggested apparatus can be found infootnote 3.10. Procedure10.1 Collect the apparatus and test specimens in

40、preparationfor the test. If the suggested test apparatus is used, assemble asoutlined in Appendix X1.10.2 Prepare the test solution by adding a known quantity ofreagent grade MgCl26H2O, reagent water, and some boilingaids to the container fitted with a thermometer and water-cooled condenser. After a

41、pplying heat, adjust the concentrationof the solution by slowly adding small quantities (4 to 5 mL)of distilled water until the solution reaches the constant-boilingtemperature of 155 6 1.0C (311.0 6 1.8F). Now place thepreviously prepared test specimens in the container.11. Report11.1 Record starti

42、ng time, type of specimen, stress, and typeexposure. A clear distinction must be made in the type ofexposure; that is, complete immersion, vapor phase exposure,or a combination of immersion and exposure to the vaporphase. The time required to initiate cracks, the rate of crackgrowth, and the time to

43、 failure may be of importance, depend-ing upon the purpose of the test.11.1.1 Periodic removal of the specimen from the solutionmay be necessary to determine the time when cracks firstappear and the rate of crack propagation. Microscopic exami-nation of polished surfaces is required to detect crack

44、initiation.All stressed surfaces should be examined at magnifications upto 203. Metallographic examination of exposed surfaces andof polished and etched cross sections at higher magnificationsare necessary at the end of the test to establish the type ofcracking: transgranular, intergranular, or mixe

45、d.11.1.2 Ruptured specimens should also be examined forevidence of mechanical failure resulting from the action ofapplied stress on specimens whose cross sections have beenreduced by general or pitting corrosion, or both. Such failuresusually show evidence of ductility. Duplicate tests with thickers

46、pecimens should be made in case of doubt.12.
