Method for determining content of the α-phase in stainless steels

1 Scope

This document specifies the selection and preparation of specimens for the determination of α-phase content in stainless steel, the determination method, the test report. This document is applicable to the determination of α-phase content in austenitic stainless steel and austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steel.

2 Normative references

The contents of the following documents constitute essential clauses of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, for dated references, only the version corresponding to that date applies to this document; for undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document. GB/T 1954 Methods of measurement for ferrite content in austenitic Cr-Ni stainless steel weld metals GB/T 13298 Inspection methods of microstructure for metals GB/T 15749 Measuring method in quantitative metallography GB/T 18876.1 Standard practice for determining the metallographical constituent and inclusion content of steels and other metals by automatic image analysis - Part 1.Determining the inclusion or second-phase constituent content of steels and other metals by automatic GB/T 30067 Standard terminology relating to metallography YB/T 4402 Micrographic method for determining content of δ-ferrite in martensitic stainless steel

3 Terms and definitions

The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 30067 and the following terms and definitions apply to this document. 3.1 α-phase in stainless steel The ferrite phase in stainless steel, which has a body-centered cubic (bcc) crystal structure.

4 Selection and preparation of specimens

4.1 General 4.1.1 The specimens are cut from the steel in the delivery state. The sampling location and quantity shall be in accordance with the relevant product standards or agreements. 4.1.2 The test surface of the specimen of rolled steel is a longitudinal section parallel to the rolling direction, wherein one side shall coincide with its axis. 4.1.3 The specimens shall be cut mechanically in a cold state. If cutting is done by gas cutting or hot cutting, the metal melting zone, plastic deformation zone, heat affected zone shall be completely removed. The distance between the cutting surface and the inspection surface depends on the cutting method, which is generally not less than 0.5 mm. 4.2 Sampling method 4.2.1 Sampling method for round steel and square steel 4.2.2 Sampling method for steel pipes The sampling method for steel pipes is shown in Figure 1d). 4.2.3 Sampling method for steel plates, steel strips, flat steels The sampling method for steel plates, steel strips, flat steels is shown in Figures 1e) and 1f). 4.3 Specimen preparation and etching The specimen preparation shall be carried out in accordance with GB/T 13298.It is recommended to use one of the following etching methods for specimen etching, which shall be based on the clear display of α-phase structure.

5 Determination method of α-phase content

5.1 General 5.1.1 The following method is usually used to determine the α-phase content of steel. The method used is determined by the product standard or the agreement between the two parties. 5.1.2 The choice of determination method and its accuracy depend on the product type, microstructure, shape of the component. 5.2 Metallographic method 5.2.1 General 5.2.1.1 Determination of α-phase content in austenitic stainless steel The determination of α-phase content in austenitic stainless steel adopts the most severe field of view method. Place the specimen under the bright field of the metallographic microscope for observation; first use a lower magnification to fully observe the entire inspection surface; select the field of view with the highest α-phase content on the inspection surface for evaluation; ensure that the actual field of view is a square with a side length of 0.24 mm. 5.2.2 Comparison method with standard rating chart 5.2.2.1 Determination of α-phase content in austenitic stainless steel Select the field of view with the highest α-phase content on the entire inspection surface; compare it with the standard rating chart. 5.2.3 Quantitative grid determination method The quantitative grid determination method is used to determine the α-phase content in accordance with GB/T 15749. 5.3 Ferrite meter determination method For special cases such as on-site rapid inspection, the ferrite meter can be used to evaluate the α-phase content in stainless steel after mutual agreement. This method cannot be used as an arbitration method. The ferrite meter and its own proofing samples shall be calibrated regularly (usually no more than one year), using a Magni meter or a secondary standard sample. Before the measurement, a standard sample with the same α-phase content as the sample to be tested shall be used to calibrate the ferrite meter. The surface oil and rust layer of the inspection surface shall be removed.

6 Test report

The test report shall include (but not limited to) the following items. ......
