This Standard replaces GB/T 226-1991 Test Method for Macrostructure and Defect of Steel by Etching. Compared with GB/T 226-1991, this Standard mainly has the following changes. --- Modifying the provision of specimen cutting method; --- Modifying the provision of reference dimension from specimen test surface to the cutting surface; --- Increasing the requirement of specimen test surface roughness after machining; --- Increasing the dendrite corrosion and cold acid etching method; --- Modifying and increasing the ingredients, etching time and temperature of partial hot and cold acid etching methods; --- Increasing the DC electrolytic corrosion method; --- Increasing the expressing method of test results; --- Removing the evaluation provision of test results; --- Increasing the provision on lab environment safety. This Standard was proposed by China Iron and Steel Industry Association. This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee for Standardization of Steel (SAC/TC 183). Drafting organizations of this Standard. Angang Steel Company Limited, Baosteel Special Metals Co., Ltd., China Metallurgical Information and Standardization Institute, Shougang Corporation, Daye Special Steel Co., Ltd., Fushun Special Steel Co., Ltd., Xingtai Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Central Iron and Steel Research Institute. Chief drafting staffs of this Standard. Syu Xiaohong, Guo Xiuli, Luan Yan, Ju Xinhua, Cheng Lijie, Zhang Pengyuan, Wang Xiaofeng, Huang Lei, and Dai Wenke. The previous versions that are replaced by this Standard are as follows. --- GB/T 226-1997 and GB/T 226-1991. Test Method for Macrostructure and Defect of Steel by Etching

1 Scope

This Standard specifies the hot acid etching method, cold acid etching method (including dendrite corrosion method), and.electrolytic etching method, which test the macrostructure and defect of steel. This Standard is applicable to the acid etching test of the macrostructure and defect of steel. Other material’s acid etching test can be implemented as per this Standard.

2 Normative References

The following documents are essential to the application of this document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) are applicable to this standard. GB 8978-1996 Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard

3 Specimen

3.1 Specimen cutting 3.2 Specimen machining 3.2.1 Specimen can be cut through hot saw, cold saw, flame cutting, shearing and other methods. The deformation or heat affected zone caused by sampling shall be removed during the specimen machining process. 3.2.2 The reference dimension from the test surface to the cutting surface of specimen. 3.2.3 After machining, the specimen’s test surface roughness Ra shall meet the following requirements. 3.3 Specimen dimension 3.3.1 Specimen thickness is generally about 20mm~30mm. 3.3.2 Length of longitudinal specimen is generally about 1.5 times of edge or diameter.

4 Test Method

4.1 Overview 4.1.1 In the following methods, the parameters shall be selected on the premise of guaranteeing to display the macrostructure and defect of steel. The proportion of all kinds of strong acids is as follows. 4.1.2 During the arbitration inspecting process, if the technical conditions have no special provisions, then the hot acid etching method is recommended to be subject to. 4.2 Hot acid etching method 4.2.1 Corresponding acid liquid shall be selected as per the different steel types. 4.3 Cold acid etching method 4.3.4 If over corrosion occurs, re-process the test surface of the specimen, remove 1mm-above depth and then re-etch. 4.4 Electrolytic etching method 4.4.1 AC electrolytic etching method 4.4.2.2 DC is used under room temperature to conduct electrolytic etching, when specimen area is less than 130cm2, the acid solution shall be prepared by 100mL of water added with 6mL~12mL of hydrochloric acid; when specimen area is more than 130cm2, the acid solution shall be prepared by 100mL of water added with 6mL of hydrochloric acid and 1g of boric acid.

5 Test Results

5.1 The macrostructure and defect shape of steel displayed by hot acid etching method, routine cold acid etching method, and electrolytic etching method can be obtained through photo-optical or digital imaging method.

6 Specimen Retention

In order to keep the specimen for certain period, the following methods are recommended to use.

7 Lab Environment Safety

Residual waste acid after etching operation shall be treated as per the discharge provision of second pollutant specified in Clause 4.2.1.2 of GB 8978-1996.
