Corrosion of metals and alloys — Anodic test for evaluation of intergranular corrosion susceptibility of heat-treatable aluminium alloys ISO 15329:2006

Publication date:   May 19, 2006

Scope

ISO 15329:2006 specifies an electrochemical method to determine susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of solution-heat-treatable aluminium alloys, that is 2XXX, 6XXX, 7XXX and 8XXX alloys, without protective coatings and in various ageing conditions.
ISO 15329:2006 is applicable to cast and wrought heat-treatable aluminium alloys in the form of castings, forgings, plates, sheets, extrusions, and semi-finished or finished parts, in order to carry out a comparative assessment of alloys of different grades and thickness depending on their chemical composition and other factors, and also to check the thermal processing quality of the tested materials. The test results provide information to help to determine the intergranular corrosion resistance and thermal processing quality of the tested materials (see Clauses 8 and 9).
