1.1 本指南涵盖了在计算机化腐蚀数据库中容纳所需搜索策略和可靠数据比较所需的数据类别和特定数据元素（字段）。数据条目旨在容纳与腐蚀基本形式相关的数据，并作为构建多源数据库汇编的指南，能够评估金属和合金在各种环境和暴露条件下的兼容性。 1.2 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本指南旨在促进腐蚀试验结果的记录，并不暗示或认可任何特定的数据库设计或模式。它提供了一个有用的参考，可以在开始腐蚀测试之前进行咨询，以确保制定了记录所有相关数据的计划。 4.2 腐蚀试验通常按照规定的试验程序进行，该程序通常不是标准试验方法。大多数腐蚀试验涉及一种或多种材料的多个试样的同时暴露（参见 6.1.1 ). 4.3 本指南旨在记录通过单独试验（与单独试验方法相比）分组的单个样本的数据，如中所述 4.2 和 6.1.1 . 因此，一些单独字段可能适用于单个测试中的所有样本，而其他字段必须根据需要重复以记录单个样本的数据。 4.4 提供的指南旨在记录数据以输入计算机化材料性能数据库。它们可能适用于需要系统记录腐蚀数据的其他应用。 4.5 如果为尽可能多的所列领域提供数据，将加快对来自多个来源的腐蚀数据的可靠比较。在数据有限的情况下，可以进行比较，但存在一定程度的不确定性。 4.6 某些专门的腐蚀试验可能需要额外的数据元素来充分描述记录的数据。 本指南不排除这些添加。记录机械性能测试数据的其他ASTM指南可能会有所帮助。 4.7 本指南不包括电化学腐蚀试验数据的记录。 4.8 这些材料识别指南与指南兼容 E1338 .

1.1 This guide covers the data categories and specific data elements (fields) considered necessary to accommodate desired search strategies and reliable data comparisons in computerized corrosion databases. The data entries are designed to accommodate data relative to the basic forms of corrosion and to serve as guides for structuring multiple source database compilations capable of assessing compatibility of metals and alloys for a wide range of environments and exposure conditions. 1.2 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 The guide is intended to facilitate the recording of corrosion test results and does not imply or endorse any particular database design or schema. It provides a useful reference to be consulted before initiating a corrosion test to be sure plans are made to record all relevant data. 4.2 Corrosion tests are usually performed following a prescribed test procedure that is often not a standard test method. Most corrosion tests involve concurrent exposure of multiple specimens of one or more materials (refer to 6.1.1 ). 4.3 This guide is designed to record data for individual specimens with groupings by separate tests (as contrasted to separate test methods) as described in 4.2 and 6.1.1 . Consequently, some of the individual fields may apply to all of the specimens in a single test, while others must be repeated as often as necessary to record data for individual specimens. 4.4 The guidelines provided are designed for recording data for entry into computerized material performance databases. They may be useful for other applications where systematic recording of corrosion data is desired. 4.5 Reliable comparisons of corrosion data from multiple sources will be expedited if data are provided for as many of the listed fields as possible. Comparisons are possible where data are limited, but some degree of uncertainty will be present. 4.6 Certain specialized corrosion tests may require additional data elements to fully characterize the data recorded. This guide does not preclude these additions. Other ASTM guides for recording data from mechanical property tests may be helpful. 4.7 This guide does not cover the recording of data from electrochemical corrosion tests. 4.8 These material identification guidelines are compatible with Guide E1338 .
