IGC TEST
• ASTM A262 is a common intergranular corrosion testing method that can quickly
screen batches of material to determine corrosion susceptibility. The ASTM A262
testing specification contains five unique intergranular corrosion tests. Choosing
the correct method(s) rely on a complete understanding of your material and
processes, as well as the concept of corrosion itself.
• The five intergranular corrosion testing methods within ASTM A262
are:-
I. The Oxalic Acid Test PRACTICE A
II. The Strauss Test –PRACTICE B
III. Huey Test-PRACTICE C
• Oxalic Acid Test (ASTM A262 Practice A) -
The Oxalic Acid test is only used to ensure that no corrosion exists;
samples are labeled either "Acceptable" or "Suspect". A different ASTM
A262 test method must be used to quantify the level of corrosion or to
disqualify a material for use
Streicher Test (ASTM A262 Practice B)

• Generally used for stainless steel and nickel alloys, the Streicher test
involves boiling the specimen in a Ferric Sulfate - Sulfuric
Acid solution for 24-120 hours and evaluating the results. The level of
corrosion is determined by mass loss.
Huey Test (ASTM A262 Practice C)

• Similar to the Streicher test, the Huey test method uses a nitric acid
solution and subjects the specimen to five 48-hour boiling intervals.
The samples are weighed at each interval to determine mass loss and
degree of susceptibility to intergranular attack. This method is
preferable for chromium depletions and corrosion in intermetallic
phases.
HEAT TREATMENT:
• Objectives of heat treatment:
The major objectives are:
To increase strength, hardness and wear resistance
To increase ductility and toughness.
To obtain fine grain size by recrystallization annealing, full annealing or normalizing
To remove residual internal stresses formed due to cold working by stress relief
annealing
To improve machinability of forged components
To improve cutting properties of tool steels
To improve surface hardening, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance by
precipitation hardening
To improve electrical properties
To improve magnetic properties by phase transformation, of the forged components
FINISHING
• Finally the tested pieces are finished with CNC machines.
