ASTM's corrosion and wear standards provide the appropriate procedures for carrying out corrosion, wear, and abrasion tests on specified metallic materials and alloys. These tests are conducted to examine and evaluate the behavior, susceptibility, and extent of resistance of certain materials to stress corrosion cracking, cavitation erosion, intergranular corrosion, pitting and crevice corrosion, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, exfoliation corrosion, atmospheric and galvanic corrosion, liquid impingement erosion, crevice repassivation, sliding and rolling friction, surface scratching and lubrication, cavitating liquid jet erosion, and hydrogen embrittlement. These corrosion and wear standards are useful to metallurgical companies, product manufacturers, and other users concerned with the specified materials in understanding the their wear and embrittlement behaviors.
