Method of accelerating the implementation of corrosion tests on steel materials

摘要

Procedure for the implementation of accelerated corrosion test in steel work materials, preferably for testing hydrogen induced cracking according to national association of corrosion engineers (NACE) standard test method 0284-2003, comprises dipping a test piece in a test solution with saturated hydrogen sulfide, and evaluating the crack length or crack formation ratio after the termination of the test time, where the test solution is used for the stabilization of the pH-value on the basis of tricarboxylic acid and the test cycle is concluded after 24 hours.
