ASTM D6208-97

1.1 A procedure to determine the repassivation potential of aluminum alloy 3003-H14 (UNS A93003) (1) as a measure of relative susceptibility to pitting corrosion by conducting a galvanostatic polarization is described. A procedure that can be used to check experimental technique and instrumentation is described, as well.

1.2 The test method serves as a guide for similar measurement on other aluminum alloys and metals (2-5).

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
