Steel — Measurement method for the evaluation of hydrogen embrittlement resistance of high strength steels — Part 1: Constant load test

Summary

This document provides a method for the evaluation of the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement
(i.e. hydrogen delayed fracture) using constant loading test with hydrogen pre-charged specimens.
The amount of hydrogen content absorbed in the specimens is analysed quantitatively by thermal
desorption analysis such as gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and so on. In the case of hydrogen
continuous charging such as hydrogen absorption in aqueous solution at free corrosion potential,
hydrogen absorption in atmospheric corrosion environments and hydrogen absorption in high pressure
hydrogen gas, the evaluation method is also briefly described. This method is mainly applicable to the
evaluation of hydrogen embrittlement resistance of high strength steel bolts.
