17、d for repeat testand shall be held in contingency.7. Test Procedures7.1 Open Circuit Potential (OCP):7.1.1 The freely corroding or Open Circuit Potential (OCP)shall be measured in 3.5% NaCl solution produced in accor-dance with Practice G44 to characterize the galvanic corrosionbehavior of the coati
18、ng relative to the steel bolt. The OCPmeasurement shall be made on a coated specimen bolt inaccordance with Practice G3. The OCP measurement shall betaken using a potentiostat capable of making measurementswith a resolution no less than 6 5mV.NOTE 1If the coating is a known material then the measure
19、d OCP canbe compared to the values described in Guide G82.7.1.2 A second OCP test shall be performed and the twotests shall be compared for consistency. If the OCP test is not6 5 mV with a known value for a known coating or with theother OCP test for an unknown coating, then a known materialother th
20、an the coating shall be used to test the accuracy of thereference electrode. If the electrode is accurate, then anotherbolt sample shall be tested to obtain consistency. Some reasonsfor inconsistency include dissimilar materials in the test setupor coating voids that can change the OCP value.7.2 Env
21、ironmental Hydrogen Embrittlement Testing:7.2.1 Mechanical Test Set-up:7.2.1.1 The test shall be conducted on bolts that have beentruncated by removal of the bolt head. Cut off the bolt headusing a water cooled cut off saw or other device that does notcause excessive heating of the bolt. The length
22、of the specimenbolt for testing shall be a minimum length of 1.5 inches and amaximum length of 4.0 inches. The truncated bolt specimenshall be adjusted to achieve the placement of a minimum oftwo threads between the gripping devices. The exposed threadsshall be equally spaced on each side of the min
23、or diameter ofthe threads. This placement of the bolt specimen in the grippingdevice is shown in Fig. 1.7.2.1.2 The loading method required for this test is afour-point (4 pt) bend, which produces constant moment alongthe gage section so that the stress may be calculated anywherealong the length of
24、the fastener. The test is conducted underdisplacement control. The loading method shall have a speci-fied load accuracy of 6 0.5%, programmable to increaseincrementally in steps of load and time. The loading methodshall be within the guidelines of calibration, force range,resolution, and verificatio
25、n of Practices E4.7.2.2 Fast Fracture Testing:7.2.2.1 The first step in the testing sequence shall be ameasurement of the fast fracture load of the specimen bolts inbending. Determine this value by performing a test in accor-dance with Test Method F1624, Section 8, as shown in Fig. 2A,using a fast f
26、racture protocol. Test a minimum of five uncoatedspecimen bolts and a minimum of five coated specimen bolts.TABLE 1 Specimen Bolt Sizes and Wedge Tensile Load ValuesNominalSizeMinimumLengthTensileStressAreaWedge TensileLoad(D) (in.)As(in.2)Min.(lb)Max.(lb)1/2-13 1-1/2 0.1419 25,600 27,6003/4-10 2-1/

Maximum Tensile Stress, t= 32Pb/d3FIG. 2F2660 1237.2.3 EHE Sample Testing:7.2.3.1 To measure the EHE susceptibility of the fastener/coating system, bolts are tested in the environment/setupdescribed in s
30、ection 7.1.1 and 7.2.3.3 using the step loadmethodology described in Test Method F1624, Section 8, tomeasure Pth.7.2.3.2 A galvanic condition (see Addendum) is created byinscribing a mark in the coating at the root of a bolt thread toexpose the steel substrate. This condition simulates a damagedcoat
31、ing, also referred to as “coating holiday.” The scribe markin the coating shall be located between the exposed threads (seeFig. 1) between the gripping devices and shall have a length ofone diameter and a width that exposes the thread count. Caremust be taken not to cause any damage in the form of a
32、 notchto the bolt itself. To this end an abrasive medium, lower inhardness than the bolt material is recommended.NOTE 3For example, a wire can be placed at the base of the exposedthread in scribing the coating circumferentially to a length of onediameter.7.2.3.3 To test at the OCP of the coating, th
33、e environmentalchamber shall be partially filled with 3.5% NaCl solutionproduced in accordance with Practice G44 with the level of thesolution being maintained below the threshold section of thebolt specimen. The reference electrode shall be placed in closevicinity to the scribe mark. An electrochem
34、ical potential equalto the measured OCP from section 7.1 shall be imposed on thespecimen during the test to negate the influence of anydissimilar metals in the environmental chamber, such as theloading pins and gripping devices. When the potential readingis stable, the remaining salt solution is add
35、ed to the chamber tofully immerse the bolt sample.(1) As an alternative to imposing an electrochemicalpotential, the test can be performed under freely corrodingconditions, provided the coated specimen is isolated from allmetal contacts. It should be verified that there is no conduc-tivity between t
36、he specimen and the adapters. The freelycorroding potential, or OCP (section 7.1), shall be measuredand recorded.7.2.3.4 The loading profile of the first coated sample boltshall be (10/5/2,4), or ten (10) steps tested with a hold time of2-hours followed by ten (10) steps at a hold time of 4-hours in
37、5% increments of FFS(B)coated, taken as the initial value ofPmax. Loading is not released during the transition from the2-hour to 4-hour hold requirement. The test proceeds until thesample experiences a load drop of more than 5% during anysingle step in the load rate. An example of the step loadingp
38、rofile is shown in Fig. 2B.7.2.3.5 Subsequent tests shall be at progressively decreasingloading rates by using the same (10/5/2,4) profile and loweringPmaxto the value of the previous threshold load therebylowering the Pfor each loading step.As Pmaxis decreased, theresolution is increased and the lo
39、ading rate is decreased. Thetest proceeds until the sample experiences a load drop of morethan 5% during any single step in the load rate.7.2.3.6 The threshold load for the coated bolts, Pth,isobtained when the threshold load for the subsequent test iswithin a value of 5% of Pmaxof the threshold loa
40、d measured onthe previous test at the higher loading rate. The minimum valueof the threshold load obtained through these measurementsshall be used in the calculation described in Section 8. Thelowest threshold value established by consecutive tests shall beconsidered the threshold load for the coate
41、d bolts, Pth. Theminimum number of samples to accomplish the establishmentof the threshold load shall be five (5) coated specimen bolts.8. EHE Acceptance Criterion for Coated ASTM A490Bolts8.1 Perform tests on fasteners to the same hydrogen em-brittlement acceptance criterion as the Test Method F519
42、, Type1a specimens that require a threshold stress equal in value tothat of 75% of the notch tensile strength (NTS = 1.6 UTS) ofthe Type 1a specimen, which is equal to or greater than 1.2UTS.8.2 To obtain the equivalent acceptance criterion for thecoatedASTM A490 bolt, the net tensile stress at the
43、root of thethread should also be equal to or greater than 1.2 UTS. Sinced/D for fasteners is always greater than 0.8, that is greater than0.7 used with Test Method F519 notched tensile specimen, thefastener must be tested in bending to attain the same stresslevel.8.3 The acceptance criterion for EHE
44、 shall be a thresholdload in bending, b, to produce the same stress or greater thanthe load in tension that produces a stress of 1.2 UTS or b 1.2UTS. Since the limit load of a bolt in bending equals2.3YS 2.0 UTS; the acceptance criterion for EHE is equiva-lent to 60% of the fast fracture load in ben
45、ding, FFS(B)coated.8.3.1 Therefore for acceptance of a coating system for A490bolts, the following condition must be met:Pth$0.6FFS(B)coated(1)8.4 Bolt Size EquivalenceBased on the Fastener AnalysisDiagram (see Note 4), a smaller diameter bolt size can betested to satisfy the acceptance criterion fo
46、r a larger bolt sizediameter if it attains a threshold load with a higher value thanthe minimum value of 60% of the fracture load in bending.This ratio is defined as the hydrogen susceptibility ratio, Hsr, inTerminology F2078. The acceptance criteria is based on Hsrbeing 1.2 or 60% FFS(B).8.4.1 From
47、 the references in Note 4, the relationship be-tween two diameters is defined by the following equation:Hsr0*f d0D0! =D05 Hsr1*f d1D1! =D1(2)8.4.2 Using the dimensional parameters for d1and D1for alarger size bolt and inputting a value of Hsr1= 1.2, theequivalent Hsr0value for the smaller sized test
48、ed bolt with d0and D0can be calculated. These are the minimum values for asmaller diameter bolt size to satisfy the acceptance criterion fora larger bolt size. The f(d/D) function is found in Tada, H.,Paris, P. and Irwin, G., Stress Analysis of Cracks Handbook,S 27.2.8.4.3 This equivalence among the
49、 different sizes is summa-rized in Table 2.NOTE 4For more detail see reference: Raymond, L., Handbook ofBolts and Bolted Joints, pp. 745-747. Calculations are based on dimen-sions given in ASME B1.1-2003, Table 6. Basic Dimensions for CoarseThread Series (UNC/UNRC).F2660 1248.4.4 For example, using a 1/2“D bolt, which needs 60%FFS(B) to satisfy its basic acceptance criterion requirement forEHE, would need to attain a threshold of 72% FFS(B) tosatisfy the acceptance criterion for a 3/4“D bolt, 82.2%FFS(B) to satisfy the acceptance criterion for a 1.0“D bol
