7 Intercrystalline corrosion test

7.1 A bend test piece shall be selected by the inspector to represent each cast. The test piece shall be heated
for 30 minutes at a temperature of 650 10 C and cooled in air. It shall then be immersed for 72 hours in
a boiling solution having the following composition:
111 grammes copper sulphate crystals (CuSO45H2O);
98 grammes concentrated sulphuric acid (specific gravity 1.84) made up to 1 litre with distilled water.
Precaution shall be taken during boiling to prevent concentration due to evaporation.
7.2 The test piece treated in accordance with 7.1 shall then be subjected to, and meet the requirements of,
the single bend test in accordance with Clause 6, 2).
7.3 Re-tests
7.3.1 If any test piece fails to meet the requirements of 7.2 the inspector shall select two further test pieces
from the batch, one of which shall be taken from the item originally sampled, unless that item has been
withdrawn by the manufacturer.
7.3.2 Both these further test pieces, selected in accordance with 7.3.1 shall be treated in accordance
with 7.1 and tested in accordance with, and meet the requirements, of 7.2.
