The characteristics, advantages, and limitations of various methods for the detection of susceptibility to intergranular corrosion in austenitic stainless steels due to carbide precipitation are discussed. Information on corrosion rates and acceptance limits in nitric acid and ferric sulfate-sulfuric acid tests is presented and illustrated by statistical data from the evauation of approximately 10,000 samples representing commercial AISI 300 series stainless steels.
