T/CSTM 00046.1-2018 Low alloy structural steel corrosion test - Part 1: General principles
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: This section specifies the terms and definitions of corrosion tests for low-alloy structural steel, the selection principles of test environments, the selection of test methods, sample design and preparation, corrosion electrochemical tests, corrosion product and morphological analysis, sample preservation and data archiving, and test reports. This section is applicable to corrosion types such as uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion, galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion or corrosion fatigue, and microbial corrosion that occur in low-alloy structural steel components during actual service in the environment. It also provides accelerated corrosion test methods that do not change the corrosion mechanism of actual service components. It can also be used to quickly evaluate the corrosion resistance of existing or newly developed steel grades, or to quickly assess the corrosion performance of steel grades in specific working environments or predict their corrosion life.
