Material grade (Stainless steel) distinguishing problem!
Material grade (Stainless steel) distinguishing problem!
(OP)
We are having corrosion problem with some bolts that are supposed to be stainless steel(A2), when we sent a sample to a chemical analyses agent , we have got a chemical composition report differ from BS EN ISO for grade A2(Austenitic). Now, when some elements(C, Cr,Ni, etc..) abundance are differ between ISO standard and the actual chemical composition, what we would do? Are there some elements we only have to look at or all elements abundance have to be as per standards? In order to take decision whether this material or that are comply to standards or not.
Thank you..
Thank you..

Hope this helps.

If the former, you probably have a chloride-ion problem. If the latter, you probably have bolts which have non-stainless steel imbedded in them from processing.
In the latter case, passivating should eliminate the problem.
