ASTM E1077 Standard Test Method for Estimating Decarburization Depth of Steel Samples

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM E1077 standard. These test methods cover procedures for estimating the depth of decarburization of steels regardless of composition, matrix microstructure or cross-sectional shape.

The following basic procedures can be used:

• Scanning methods.
• Microscopic methods.
• Micro indentation hardness methods.
• Chemical analysis methods.

In the event of a dispute, the definitive quantitative or linear analysis method will be the referee method. These methods can be used with any cross-sectional shape. Chemical analytical methods often reveal a greater depth of decarburization than microscopic methods, but are limited to certain simple shapes and availability of equipment.

These techniques are generally reserved for research studies. The micro-indentation hardness method is suitable for accurate measurements of hardened structures with relatively homogeneous microstructures.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

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