Intergranular corrosion test for C276
Intergranular corrosion test for C276
(OP)
Dear all,
We do intergranular corrosion test for C276 according to G 28A method, ASM handbook provide data of criteria for passing is 1mm/month. But I check 904l IGC criteria for passing is 0.05mm/month, and both materials are implemented in the same test method.
So, comparing C276 to 904l IGC test result, whether we can conclude that 904l have better IGC resistance than C276? If so, can you give me some theory interpretation?
If not, what's the purpose of IGC test, maybe just qualify supply conditon?
Thank you!

This is not a measure of corrosion resistance or of stability.
This test tells you weather an alloy was heat treated correctly or not, and nothing else.

Depending on yIour interpretation, IGA test is used to confirm heat treatment condition, and I agree with that.
But why IGA test result of 904l is so difference to C276?
Whether it means C276 contain more delepted region adjacent to grain boundary, if so, why?
