Ferrite Testing Services by Applus+

Applus+ offers ferrite testing services to measure the ferrite content in austenitic and duplex stainless steels. Ferrite testing provides an accurate, fast, and inexpensive way to establish the ideal ferrite balance for ductility, toughness, corrosion resistance, and crack prevention. Applus+ can deliver bespoke ferrite testing solutions worldwide with strict quality control procedures. Technicians can take measurements directly on surfaces or capture continuous readings along welds. Results are generally instant and can be provided in various formats. Ferrite testing is useful for industries using steel in high pressure, heat, or corrosive environments to ensure mechanical and corrosion properties are maintained.

Ferrite Testing
Ferrite test is a fast, inexpensive, and accurate way to measure delta ferrite content in
austenitic and duplex stainless steel. Ferrite testing can establish the ideal ferrite content
balance between ductility, toughness, corrosion resistance, and crack prevention.

THE Applus+ SOLUTION

Applus+ delivers bespoke ferrite content tests to any industry, at any stage of
manufacture, anywhere in the world. Clients can expect the highest degree of quality
control, through strict internal competency testing and technical procedures.

The technicians at Applus+ can deliver results by placing a single probe on the surface
of the sample, whereby the reading is displayed automatically and stored in the
instrument. For easy ferrite content measurements along a weld seam, our testing
instruments offer continuous measurement-capture functions. When scanning the weld
seam, the continuous readings are captured and stored. This provides a ferrite content
profile along the weld seam. Ferrite testing measurements can be taken regardless of
the properties of the substrate material, starting at a plating thickness of 3mm.
Corrective calibrations to customer-specific calibration standards or correction factors
can be used to take into account influences of the sample shape, plating and substrate
thicknesses.

Results are generally available instantly, and, depending on the client’s requirements,
can be provided as spot or profile readings and as percentages or as ferrite numbers.

Target customers
Ferrite testing can be deployed at chemical, energy and processing plants, where the
fabricated steel is subject to heat, aggressive media and high pressure. Steel destined
for these plants must therefore be highly corrosion- and acid–resistant, maintaining

resilience even at high temperatures. Ferrite content tests can measure when the
content is low and the welded material is susceptible to hot-cracking. Conversely, if the
ferrite content is too high, a reduction in the toughness, ductility and corrosion-
resistance of the steel can be tested. For duplex steel, a ferrite deficit in the area of the
weld seam results in stress-corrosion cracking and a subsequent reduction in strength.

Ferrite testing can be carried out on-site at any stage of steel manufacturing. Only
testing throughout the course of the manufacturing process can provide the assurance
that the ferrite content has not been adversely affected during processing at the
expense of the steel’s mechanical or corrosion-resistance properties.

Key customer benefits


Choosing Applus+ as ferrite testing partner will provide clients with:

Fast, reliable ferrite measurements and instant results


Verification of adherence to welding procedures for heat control
