NF ISO 21610

Corrosion of metals and alloys - Accelerated corrosion test for intergranular corrosion susceptibility of austenitic stainless steels

ISO 21610:2009 specifies accelerated methods for the determination of the intergranular corrosion susceptibility of austenitic stainless steels. The methods specified by the standard provide results identical to those obtained when using ISO 3651‑1 and ISO 3651‑2, but the test period for the accelerated corrosion test is shorter.

The standard is applicable to the testing of various kinds of metal production, including two-layer rolled metal, welded joints, deposited metal and weld seam metal.

Two test methods are specified:

• method A: corrosion test in a solution of copper sulfate and concentrated sulfuric acid in the presence of metallic copper;
• method B: corrosion test in a solution of copper sulfate, sulfuric acid and copper fluoride in the presence of metallic copper.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
