ASTM WK94151
Revision of A262-15(2021) Standard Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack in Austenitic Stainless Steels
Rationale
As a result of an inquiry on Practice E Specimen Preparation (43.2), it was determined that requirements for descaling specimens after sensitization heat treatment were not clear in Practices B, C, E, or F. This proposal will add a statement that removal of scale is to be performed after heat treatment, including sensitization heat treatment, when performed.
