ASTM A 923 - 06 Standard Test Methods for Detecting Detrimental Intermetallic Phase in Duplex Austenitic/Ferritic Stainless Steels

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved May 1, 2006. Published May 2006. Originally approved in 1994. Last previous edition approved in 2003 as A 923 – 03. 10 p. The purpose of these test methods is to allow detection of the presence of intermetallic phases in duplex stainless steels to the extent that toughness or corrosion resistance is affected significantly. These test methods will not necessarily detect losses of toughness or corrosion resistance attributable to other causes.
