Question

Which of the following statement is/are true regarding the Huey test?

(a) Boiling 65% nitric acid is used as a corrosive solution

(b) Used to evaluate the heat treatment of steels

(c) Used to evaluate the heat treatment of stainless steels

(d) Boiling 65% nitric acid is used as a corrosive solution and used to evaluate the heat treatment of stainless steels

The question was posed to me in class test.

My enquiry is from Testing topic in section Corrosion Testing of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Boiling 65% nitric acid is used as a corrosive solution and used to evaluate the heat treatment of stainless steels

For explanation I would say: The Huey test is used to check the heat treatment of stainless steels. It uses boiling 65% nitric acid as a corrosive solution. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, carbon, chromium, and nickel.
