BS ISO 3651-3:2017 specifies the determination of the intergranular corrosion susceptibility of low-Cr [less
than 16 % Cr, less than 0,3 % Ni, less than 0,3 % Ti and less than 0,3 % Nb, less than 0,3 % (Ti + Atomic
weight ratio Nb)] ferritic stainless steels in the 0,5 % sulfuric acid/copper sulfate test. It also specifies
the purposes which may be assigned to the test.The method is applicable to stainless steels supplied in the form of rolled sheets and welded tubes and
intended for use in a mildly oxidizing acid medium.It is important to note that the result of the corrosion test is only strictly valid for the corrosive medium
used in the test. It constitutes a basis for estimating the resistance to intergranular corrosion but cannot
be used to check resistance to other forms of corrosion (general corrosion, pitting, stress corrosion,
etc.). It is important for the user to adapt the specified corrosion test where steels are used. This test is,
in no case, considered as an absolute criterion of the quality of the metal.Cross References:ISO 8044:2015 ASTM A763 - 15ISO 3651-2:1998All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
