EN 3976:20065 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 general terms definition, see EN 42

23、59 3.2 certified reference material (C.R.M.) definition, see ISO Guide 30 4 Health and safety Resources, test pieces, test samples, test materials, test equipment and test procedures shall comply with the current health and safety regulations/laws of the countries where the test is to be carried out

24、. Where materials and/or reagents which may be hazardous to health are specified, appropriate precautions in conformity with local regulations and/or laws shall be taken. 5 Principle 5.1 General The test consists of thermally decomposing the hydrogenated compounds (mostly as metallic hydrides) prese

25、nt in the titanium or titanium alloys. The degassed hydrogen is sent, in a stream of supporting inert gas, into the detection system (thermal conductivity cell) which allows a quantitative measurement of hydrogen content (comparative). Two extraction modes are considered, with respect to the use (or

26、 not) of a melting flux. (Table 1). Table 1 Method Extraction Mode Temperature Supporting Gas 1 With flux 1 800 C Nitrogen or Argon 2 Without flux 2 100 C Argon 5.2 Method 1 The role of melting flux is to liquefy the mixture (thus facilitating the gas extraction) and to avoid an eventual formation o

27、f nitrides. Fusion is performed in a graphite crucible at a temperature of around 1 800 C: either in a nitrogen supporting gas which allows the nitrogen in the sample to be disregarded with the carbon monoxide which, with the nitrogen, has a very small difference in conductivity. (The excess of carb

28、on and the temperature at which melting is performed prevents any carbon dioxide from forming; it is necessary, however, to foresee a way of trapping small quantities of this gas eventually present by using, for example, a molecular sieve); or in an argon supporting gas which prevents nitrides formi

29、ng and results in a better sensitivity since argon has a greater difference in conductivity compared to hydrogen. A separation of nitrogen and carbon oxides is necessary as well as, in the case of using a high frequency furnace, an adapted frequency to avoid discharges by ionization. EN 3976:20066 5

30、.3 Method 2 Fusion is performed in a graphite crucible at a temperature of around 2 100 C and shall be carried out in an argon supporting gas (nitrogen in this case would cause formation of nitrides). 6 Testing requirements 6.1 Resources 6.1.1 Equipment There are numerous models of apparatus but the

31、y all generally include the following elements: Device for introducing samples; Heating device (induction furnace or resistance furnace); Sweeping system using supporting gas; System for separating gases (if necessary); Thermal conductivity cell. Where a high frequency furnace is used with an argon

32、supporting gas, the frequency shall be adapted to avoid discharges by ionization. 6.1.2 Materials/Reagents 6.1.2.1 Certified Reference Materials (titanium base alloys with certified hydrogen content) According to ISO Guides 31 and 35 these C.R.Ms. should be produced by a certifying body, traceable t

33、o S.I. Units by demonstrated methods and accompanied by a certificate. The certified hydrogen content value shall be accompanied by an uncertainty at a stated level of confidence. 6.1.2.2 Reagents During the analysis only reagents of recognised analytical quality shall be used. Nitric acid 20= 1,38

34、g/ml Hydrofluoric acid Aqueous solution at 40 %, 20= 1,13 g/ml 95 % or 96 % (v/v) ethanol Melting flux tin granules Absorbing reagents, separating columns as specified by the manufacturer of the equipment Carbon tetrachloride Diethyl oxide Acetone EN 3976:20067 6.1.2.3 Compressed gases 6.1.2.3.1 Sup

35、porting gases Nitrogen of a purity 99,995 % (N + rare gases) with H2 99,995 % with N 99,9999 % Helium of a purity 99,9999 % 6.1.2.3.3 Gas for pneumatic devices Compressed air “for laboratory use“. 6.1.3 Qualification of personnel Testing to the requirements of this test method shall only be undertak

36、en and/or supervised by personnel who have demonstrated their competence by a suitable education and appropriate training and experience. 6.2 Test samples/test pieces 6.2.1 Location of samples In the case of semi-finished products: as per EN 2003-10. In the case of finished products: as per special

37、agreement and availability. 6.2.2 Sampling method and preparation of test portion Sampling is carried out by machining, in dry conditions, with no lubricant, using tools cleaned with solvents (sawing with a blade, the protecting paint of which has previously been removed by cleaning with solvents an

38、d abrasive paper, drilling, pelleting, excluding hot cropping) in conditions whereby any heating of the metal is avoided as far as possible. NOTE Titanium is easily hydrogenated by the humidity in the air at temperatures above 300 C. Sampling in the form of chips shall only be envisaged in the case

39、of absolute necessity (due to the risks of heating the sample for analysis and the difficulties in introducing it in the analyser). Whatever its surface appearance, the sample for analysis shall be thoroughly cleaned with solvents to eliminate any potential pollutants such as paint, grease, etc. The

40、 procedure is as follows: clean at ambient temperature with a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, diethyl oxide (ether), acetone ., if trichlorethylene is used, it shall be followed by one of the above solvents, drying in the air at about 60 C or at ambient temperature under a slight vacuum. Furth

41、ermore, on certain semi-finished industrial products, but never on finished products, cleaning may be completed by pickling at ambient temperature for several minutes using the following acid mixture as recommended by work carried out by the European Community Bureau of References: EN 3976:20068 4 v

42、olumes of nitric acid; 1 volume of hydrofluoric acid; Then rinsed three times in water, three times in ethanol and dried in the air at about 60 C or at room temperature in a slight vacuum. As hydrogen content may be affected by this chemical dissolution, an additional pickling may be added in an aci

43、d mixture corresponding to a weight ratio nitric acid/hydrofluoric acid around 15, in order to remove 5 m to 10 m. 6.2.3 Mass of the sample for analysis The necessary mass of the sample for analysis may vary according to the apparatus, but is generally about 250 mg. NOTE It may be necessary to reduc

44、e sampling accordingly depending on the size of the crucibles compatible with certain types of apparatus. Where the method 1 is used, the quantity of melting flux shall be about 15 times greater than that of the titanium alloy. 6.3 Testing procedure 6.3.1 General instructions The detailed procedure

45、depending on the apparatus used is specified on the manufacturers instruction sheet and cannot be described in this standard. Certain general considerations shall nevertheless be recalled. According to the individual characteristics of each type of analyser, the following should be checked: the clea

46、nness and the absence of deposits in the different circuits by obtaining correct and constant values for the various gas deliveries (in the case of apparatus with a supporting gas), the cleanness and effectiveness of the different filters, traps and absorbing systems. It is absolutely necessary to m

47、aintain the same values for the delivery of the supporting gas, for the temperature of the measuring cell and for the intensity applied on the filament of the thermal conductivity cell in the analysing sequence as in the calibration sequence. 6.3.2 Calibration The various apparatuses generally inclu

48、de a calibrating device by injecting one or several known volumes of pure hydrogen (adjusted according to variations in temperature and pressure). These known volumes are delivered from a compressed hydrogen cylinder by a pneumatic system (calibrated “cavities“ and gas slide valves .). This procedur

49、e effectively calibrates the measuring system but does not enable the effectiveness of extraction and the eventual separation of degassed chemical substances to be evaluated. It is therefore essential to complete this procedure by analysing the Certified Reference Materials. If the result differs considerably ( relative 5 %), the analytical conditions shall be changed: quantity of flux powder, setting of the power applied to the furnace, heating time . The use of the result obtained with th
