Corrosion of metals and alloys. Evaluation of selective corrosion of Cu alloys and grey cast iron for power plant components by visual inspection and hardness measurement
金属和合金的腐蚀 通过目视检查和硬度测量评估发电厂部件用铜合金和灰铸铁的选择性腐蚀
BS ISO 17918:2015 specifies procedures of on-site detection and evaluation in order to determine
the effects of material deterioration such as material loss from the components and structures that are
sensitive to selective corrosion in industrial facilities, including nuclear power plants.The methodology involves visual inspection and hardness measurements in situ complemented
by sample removal. These procedures include (a) representative sampling of components sensitive
to selective corrosion, (b) the visual inspection, and (c) the hardness test, respectively. For an exact
analysis, additional laboratory testing is recommended.The methodology is most applicable to grey cast iron and copper alloy with more than 15 % zinc.
Extension to other alloys requires supportive evidence of validation.Assessment criteria orientated to the nuclear power plant application during the past five years before
the end of extended operation define the necessity for further engineering evaluation and action like, for
example, further sampling, higher frequency of inspection, and component repair or exchange.This specification is not applicable for components used where the representative sampling of surfaces
in contact to the fluid is not detectable optically or detected with the portable hardness tester. Also,
in case of non-representative component selection like in HVAC or building service application, this
specification is not applicable. For components not used in nuclear power plant, the assessment criteria
have to be agreed by the parties. Assessment criteria of hardness test alone is not applicable to the
evaluation of structural integrity of Al-bronze, NAB, and Cu-Ni.Cross References:ASTM E110-82ISO 3058ISO 6506-1ISO 6506-2ISO 6506-3ISO 6507-1ISO 6507-2ISO 6508-1ISO 6508-2ISO 8044NUREG-1801All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
