Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens of selected materials are exposed to a

9、 gas-eous hydrogen containing environment at high pressure or hightemperature, or both, while being pulled to failure in uniaxialtension. The susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement is evalu-ated through the determination of standard mechanical prop-erties in tension (that is, yield strength, ultim

10、ate tensilestrength, notched tensile strength, reduction in area or elonga-tion, or both). Comparison of these mechanical propertiesdetermined in a hydrogen-containing environment to thosedetermined in a non-embrittling environment (control test)provides a general index of susceptibility to cracking

Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a reliable prediction of theresistance or susceptibility, or both, to loss of material strengthand ductility as a result of exposure to hydrogen-containinggaseous environments. This test method is ap

Furthermore, thi

A

17、pparatus6.1 Since this test method is intended to be conducted athigh pressures and may also involve high temperatures, theapparatus must be constructed to safely contain the testenvironment while being resistant to the embrittling effects ofhydrogen. Secondly, the test apparatus must be capable ofa

18、llowing introduction of the test gas, removal of air from thetest cell, and accurate performance of the tension test on thetest specimen. In cases where the tests are conducted atelevated temperatures, the apparatus must provide for heatingof the specimen and the test environment in direct contact w

19、iththe specimen.6.2 Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a typical testcell designed to conduct HP/HT gaseous hydrogen embrittle-ment experiments.4The typical components include:6.2.1 Metal Test CellThe test cell should be constructedfrom materials that have proven to have high resistance tohy

20、drogen embrittlement under the conditions. A list of poten-tial materials of construction is shown in Fig. 1.5Materialswith high values of tensile ratios (environment versus a controlenvironment) should be used. Materials with low values of thisparameter should be avoided.6.2.2 Closure and SealTo fa

21、cilitate operation of the testcell and tension testing, the closure should provide for rapidopening and closing of the test cell and reliable sealingcapabilities for hydrogen. This can include either metallic ornon-metallic materials with high resistance to hydrogen em-brittlement and degradation.6.

22、2.3 Gas Port(s)The gas port should be designed topromote flow and circulation of the gaseous test environments,inert gas purging and evacuation as required to produce theintended test environment. Usually two ports are used so thatflow-through capabilities are attained to facilitate these func-tions

23、.6.2.4 Electrical Feed-ThroughsIf very high temperatureconditions are required it may be advantageous to utilize aninternal heater to heat the test specimen and the gaseousenvironment in the immediate vicinity of the specimen. There-fore, a feed-through would be needed to reach an internalresistance

24、 or induction heater. These feed-throughs must alsoprovide electrical isolation from the test cell and internalfixtures, and maintain a seal to prevent leakage of the testenvironment. If external heaters are used, no electric feed-throughs would be required for testing.6.2.5 Tensile Feed-Through(s)T

25、o apply tensile loading tothe test specimen it is necessary to have feed-through(s) whichprovide linear motion and transmission of loads from anexternal source. Care must be taken to design such feed-throughs to have low friction to minimize errors due to frictionlosses when using externally applied

26、 loads. These are usuallydesigned to incorporate thermoplastic or elastomeric materials,or both. If elevated temperature tests are being conducted, then4R. D.

It is usually attached to a tensile testing machine on oneend and the tension specimen on the other. It

29、 should bedesigned to have adequate cross-sectional area to minimizecompliance in the loading system under the anticipated loads tobe used. Also, to minimize frictional forces in the seal andpromote sealing, it should be made with a highly polishedsurfaces 0.25 m (10 in.) RMS. It is possible to obta

30、in pullrod systems that are pressure balanced so specimen loadingfrom the internal pressure in the test cell can be minimized.6.2.7 Load CellLoad cells for conducting high pressuretensile tests may be two configurations:6.2.7.1 External load cells which are attached to the pull rodoutside of the tes

31、t cell, and6.2.7.2 Internal load cells which are either attached to thepull rod or grip assembly inside of the autoclave or areintegrated into the pull rod. When using external load cells it isimportant to correct load cell readings for frictional forces inthe pressure seal. Additionally, if non-pre

32、ssure balanced pullrods are used, compensation for pressure loading of thespecimen must be also performed.6.2.8 Electric Resistance or Induction Heater(s)Eitherinternal or external heaters can be used to obtain elevatedtemperature. For lower temperatures, and when using testenvironments containing r

33、eactive constituents in addition tohydrogen, external heating of the test cell is typically moreconvenient. At high temperatures, when using non-reactive orhydrogen gas environments, an internal heater can be used toheat only the test specimen and the gaseous environment in thevicinity of the test s

Test Environment8.1 Test environments can consist of either field or plantsamples or be prepared in the laboratory from chemicals andgases as indicated in Section 7.8.2 When testing in hydrogen containing environments,susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement typically increaseswith dec

40、MPa, and69 MPa. However, for materials evaluation for specific appli-cations, the test pressure should be equal to or greater than thatwhich represents the service conditions.FIG. 2 Hydrogen Tensions Test Autoclave for Various Alloys inHydrogen versus AirG 142 98 (2004)39. Sampling9.1 The procedure

41、for sampling mill products is typicallycovered in product or other specifications and is outside thescope of this document.9.2 Sampling of the test environment is recommended toconfirm that the test environment is in conformance with thistest method and attains the intended test conditions. Suchsamp

42、ling shall be conducted immediately prior to and aftertesting. The frequency of environmental sampling shall be asrequired to cover applicable product, purchase or in-housetesting specifications, or both.As a minimum requirement to bein compliance with this test method, however, sampling of thetest

43、environment shall be conducted at the start of testing andagain when any element of the test procedure or test system hasbeen changed or modified.10.

44、nes provided in Test Methods E8.However, in some cases, the material size, configuration, andform or the confines of various test cells may limit the actualdimensions of the test specimen. In such cases, the specimengeometry and dimensions shall be fully described. Take care toonly compare the resul

45、ts obtained from similar specimens.10.2 For purposes of standardizing the evaluation of mate-rials according to this test method, two standard test specimensshall be used: standard smooth tension specimen, and standardnotched tensile specimen. The dimensions of these specimensare given in Fig. 3a an
