    IGC Test

    Hiren Panchal
    TCR Engineering Services in India conducts several tests for intergranular corrosion according to ASTM standards, including the oxalic acid etch test, Streicher test, Huey test, Strauss test, and copper-copper sulfate-sulfuric acid test. These tests involve exposing specimens to corrosive solutions to evaluate the material's susceptibility to intergranular attack from carbides, nitrides, or intermetallic phases at grain boundaries. The appropriate test is chosen based on the steel grade and its grain boundary composition.

    At TCR Engineering Services, several methods exist for the testing of intergranular

    corrosion. To conduct these tests, we carefully choose a method which is suitable for the
    steel grade and grain boundary composition to be tested.

    Intergranular corrosion in stainless steels may result from precipitation of carbides,


    nitrides or intermetallic phases. Only in the most highly oxidizing solutions can
    intergranular attack be caused by intermetallic phases. When a test is to be restricted to
    carbides, in a material containing nitrides or intermetallic phases, a less oxidizing
    solution is chosen.

    The following tests are carried out by TCR Engineering Services in India as per the
    ASTM A262 specification.

    Oxalic Acid Test, ASTM A262, Practice A (Oxalic Acid Etch)The oxalic acid etch test
    is a rapid method of screening those specimens of certain stainless steel grades which are
    essentially free of susceptibility to inter granular attack associated with chromium carbide
    participates. The test is used for acceptance but not rejection of material.

    Ferric Sulfate - Sulfuric Acid, ASTM A262 - Practice B (Streicher Test)This test is
    based on weight loss determinations and provides a quantitative measure of the relative
    performance of the material evaluated. The procedure includes subjecting a specimen to a
    24 to 120 hour boil in ferric sulfate - 50% sulfuric acid. This procedure measures the
    susceptibility of stainless steels and nickel alloys to inter granular attack associated with
    the precipitation of chromium carbides at grain boundaries.

    Nitric Acid, ASTM A262, Practice C, (Huey Test)The specimens are boiled for five
    periods, each of 48 hours, in a 65 per cent solution of nitric acid. The corrosion rate
    during each boiling period is calculated from the decrease in the weight of the specimens.
    Properly interpreted, the results can reveal whether or not the steel has been heat-treated
    in the correct manner. The customer must specify the maximum permissible corrosion
    rate and, in applicable cases, data on sensibilizing heat treatment.

    The Huey test environment is strongly oxidizing, and, is only used as a check on whether
    the material has been correctly heat treated. This test is suitable for the detection of
    chromium depleted regions as well as intermetallic precipitations, like sigma phase, in the
    material. The Huey test is also used for materials that come into contact with strongly
    oxidising agents, e.g. nitric acid. This procedure may also be used to check the
    effectiveness of stabilizing elements and of reductions in carbon content in reducing
    susceptibility to inter granular attack in chromium-nickel stainless steels.

    Copper - Copper Sulfate - 16% sulfuric acid, ASTM A262 - Practice E (Strauss
    Test)This procedure is conducted to determine the susceptibility of austenitic stainless
    steel to inter granular attack associated with the precipitation of chromium-rich carbides.
    Once the specimen has been subjected to the solution boil, it is bent through 180° and
    over a diameter equal to the thickness of the specimen being bent. This test is based on a
    visual examination of the bent specimen.

    Copper - Copper Sulfate - 50% sulfuric acid, ASTM A262 - Practice FThis test is
    based on weight loss determination which provides a quantitative measure of the relative
    performance of the material evaluated. It measures the susceptibility of "as received"
    stainless steels to inter granular attack.
