Metallurgy Official British Standard

BS EN ISO 7539-1:2012

Comprehensive standard for corrosion testing of metals and alloys. Ensures product quality, safety, and compliance with international regulations.

Comprehensive Corrosion Testing Standard for Metals and Alloys

BS EN ISO 7539-1:2012 is the essential standard for corrosion testing of metals and alloys. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this comprehensive standard provides detailed guidance on the selection and use of laboratory corrosion testing methods to evaluate the performance and durability of a wide range of metallic materials.

Ensure Product Quality, Safety, and Compliance

Corrosion can have severe consequences for the performance and lifespan of metal components and products. This standard is a critical tool for manufacturers, engineers, and quality assurance professionals to:

  • Assess the corrosion resistance of metals and alloys under various environmental conditions
  • Identify potential corrosion issues early in the design and production process
  • Ensure products meet stringent safety and quality standards for their intended applications
  • Demonstrate compliance with international regulations and industry best practices

Comprehensive Guidance on Corrosion Testing Methods

BS EN ISO 7539-1:2012 provides detailed instructions and recommendations on the selection and use of a wide range of laboratory corrosion testing methods, including:

  • Immersion tests
  • Electrochemical tests
  • Stress corrosion cracking tests
  • Corrosion fatigue tests
  • Hydrogen embrittlement tests

The standard covers the fundamental principles, test parameters, and data analysis techniques for each method, ensuring consistent and reliable results across different testing facilities and applications.

Applicable to a Wide Range of Metals and Alloys

This standard is applicable to a broad spectrum of metallic materials, including:

  • Carbon and alloy steels
