For the background on TestMethod F519 testing, see publications ASTM STP

8、 5432andASTM STP 962.3The stress concentration factor is at a Kt=3.1 6 0.2. The sensitivity is demonstrated with a constantimposed cathodic potential to control the amount of hydrogen.Both the sensitivity and the baseline for residual hydrogen willbe established with tests on bare metal specimens in

A specimen made of AISI E4340 steel heattreated to a hardness range of 50 to 52 HRC is used to producea “worst case” condition and maximize sensitivity to IHE.1.8 The test is an accelerated (24 h) test method tomeasure th

10、e threshold for hydrogen stress cracking, and is usedto quantify the amount of residual hydrogen in the specimen.The specimen undergoes sustained load and slow strain ratetesting by using incremental loads and hold times underdisplacement control to measure a threshold stress in anaccelerated manner

11、 in accordance with Test Method F1624.1.9 In this test method, bending is used instead of tensionbecause it produces the maximum local limit load tensile stressin a notched bar of up to 2.3 times the yield strength asmeasured in accordance with Test Method E8/E8M. A fastenerthat is unintentionally e

12、xposed to bending on installation mayattain this maximum local tensile stress.1.10 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be re-garded as standard. The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.1.11

34、s de-signed to estimate the precision of the ISL test as it applies tothis test method. The experimental results were entirely gen-erated using notched square bar standard test specimens. Twotesting modes were used; testing in air (that is, no imposedpotential) and testing under potential (for simul

35、ated hydrogencharging conditions).12.1.1 Within Laboratory StudyIn this part of the testprogram, a large number of specimens (minimum 30) weretested in air within 1 laboratory to estimate repeatability withina single laboratory. The time span for testing 30 specimens wasapproximately 8 weeks. This w

Therefore, to detect anysystematic shift in the values generated by the test apparatus,this test was repeated twice in the space of 1 year.

38、isted of testing square barspecimens at five different conditions, four at different appliedpotentials, 0.8, -0.9, -1.0, and -1.2 V and one in air. Eachlaboratory performed five replicate tests for each condition.The precision statistics are presented in Table 6.The terms repeatability limit and rep

40、manufactured with minimal variation. Therefore, note thatvariance within the specimen population, however minimal,was implicitly considered in the precision estimates.12.2.2 All of the instruments were subject to normal cali-bration procedures by the equipment manufacturer.Any resultsobtained throug

41、h obvious error in procedure or equipmentmalfunction were disqualified from the study.12.2.3 This method has no bias because comparative mea-surement of hydrogen embrittlement is defined only in terms ofthis test method.12.2.4 Random lot-to-lot bias in the properties of square barspecimens related t

42、o raw material or specimen manufacturemay exist. This test method produces a quantitative fractionalmeasure based on the baseline fracture strength of square barspecimens not exposed to hydrogen. Since there is no univer-sally accepted reference or laboratory suitable for determiningthe bias for squ

43、are bar specimens, no justifiable statement ofbias can be made in relation to the baseline fracture strength ofspecimens. However, lot-to-lot bias for square bar specimensdoes not affect the test fractional results provided a baselinefracture strength is established for every lot of square barspecim

45、 Since embrittlement related to hydrogen content canvary with hardness, actual fasteners made of low-strength steelmight have more tolerance for residual hydrogen because ofthe process and might not need the rigorous requirement setforth in this standard for threshold. Therefore, adjustments inthres

46、hold requirements can be made for a specific lot offasteners once a correlation is established.NOTE X1.1Note that embrittlement related to hydrogen can also varywith other metallurgical and chemical characteristics of steel and that“low-strength steel” is not always a predictor of more tolerance for

47、residual hydrogen.X1.1.2 To obtain a correlation between actual productionfasteners from singular lots and specimen threshold levels inthis standard, the threshold level or hydrogen tolerance levelfor the production hardware can be measured using four-pointbending in accordance with Test Method F162
