Corrosion of metals and alloys. Methodology for determining the resistance of metals to stress corrosion cracking using the four-point bend method
金属和合金的腐蚀 用四点弯曲法测定金属抗应力腐蚀开裂能力的方法
BS ISO 16540:2015 provides guidelines for the use of four-point bend testing to evaluate the
resistance of metals including carbon steel, low alloy steels, and corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs) to
stress corrosion cracking. The method gives guidance on testing of both parent plate and welds and
includes procedures for metals that have no distinct yield point in their stress-strain behaviour as
well as metals with a distinct yield point. The emphasis in this International Standard is on the generic
methodology of the four-point bend test. Service application will be varied and the relevant industry
standard is to be consulted where appropriate.Cross References:ISO 8407ISO 6892-1ISO 6892-2ISO 7539-1ISO 7539-2ISO 7539-8ISO 8044ISO 11463ASTM A380-99 (2005)ASTM F21 65 (2007)All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
