EVS-EN 12923-1:2007

This part of EN 12923 specifies guidelines to be employed when undertaking corrosion tests on advanced technical ceramics. The mechanisms of chemical attack on advanced ceramics are widely varied and depend on the chemical and phase composition and the phase morphology of the material, as well as the corrosive conditions imposed. For any particular engineering application it is usually necessary to model expected conditions of use in order to obtain quantitative data on ability to withstand the proposed end-use conditions.
