Summary of Practice4.1 Stainless alloy/steel specimens are exposed to a gaseoushydrogen containing environment at HP/HT conditions forsuf

17、ficient time to produce hydrogen charging in the material.Following exposure, the specimens are cooled to ambienttemperature at a controlled rate. The specimens are then held atroom temperature for a designated period to allow for thedevelopment of HID between the stainless alloy surface layerand th

18、e steel. Following the hold period, the specimens areevaluated for HID at this interface using straight beam ultra-sonic methods with metallographic examination to confirm anyHID found. The size and distribution of the disbonded re-gion(s) are then characterized by this practice. Single ormultiple h

19、ydrogen exposure/cooling cycles can be conductedand varying exposure conditions and cooling rates can beincorporated into this evaluation to provide assessment of thedisbonding characteristics of materials and service conditionused for refinery process equipment containing HP/HT hydro-gen containing

20、 environments.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice provides an indication of the resistance orsusceptibility, or both, to HID of a metallurgically bondedstainless alloy surface layer on a steel substrate due to exposureto hydrogen-containing gaseous environments under HP/HTconditions. This pract

21、ice is applicable over a broad range ofpressures, temperatures, cooling rates, and gaseous hydrogenenvironments where HID could be a significant problem.Theseprocedures can be used to assess the effects of materialcomposition, processing methods, fabrication techniques, andheat treatment as well as

22、the effects of hydrogen partialpressure, service temperature, and cooling rate. The HIDproduced by these procedures may not correlate directly withservice experience for particular applications.Additionally, thispractice does not address the evaluation of high-temperaturehydrogen attack in the steel

23、 substrate. Typically, longer expo-sure times at the test conditions must be utilized to allow forthe resistance to decarburization, internal blistering orcracking, or both, to be evaluated.6. Apparatus6.1 Because this practice is intended to be conducted at highpressures and high temperatures, the

24、apparatus must be con-structed to safely contain the test environment while beingresistant to the cumulative embrittling effects of hydrogen.Secondly, the test apparatus must be capable of allowing (1)introduction of the test gas, (2) removal of air from the test cell,(3) uniform heating of the test

25、 specimens, and (4) cooling ofthe specimens at controlled rates.6.2 There are many types of test cell configurations whichcan be used to conduct evaluations of HID. This practice doesnot recommend or endorse any particular test cell design. Fig.2 shows a schematic representation of a typical test ce

26、lldesigned to conduct HID tests in HP/HT gaseous hydrogenenvironments. Other designs may also provide acceptableperformance. However, the typical components should includethe following:6.2.1 Metal Test CellThe test cell should be constructedfrom materials which have been proven to have high resistan

27、ceto hydrogen embrittlement and high-temperature hydrogenattack under the anticipated test conditions. Materials with lowresistance to these phenomena should be avoided. Typical testcells for high-pressure hydrogen testing are constructed fromstainless steel (UNS S31600 or S34700) or nickel alloys (

28、UNSN10276 or N06625) in the solution annealed condition. Steelvessels with stainless alloy exposed surfaces may also besuitable.NOTE 1Open symbolsno disbonding reported.

T

30、his can include either metallic or nonmetallicmaterials with high resistance to thermal degradation andhydrogen attack.6.2.3 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

31、 test environment. Usually two ports are used so thatseparate flow-through capabilities are attained to facilitatethese functions.6.2.4 Electrical Feed-ThroughsHigh-temperature condi-tions are required in this practice. It is usually advantageous toutilize an internal heater to heat just the test sp

32、ecimens and thegaseous environment in the immediate vicinity of the speci-men. Therefore, feed-throughs are usually needed to makeelectrical contact with an internal resistance or inductionheater. These feed-throughs must also provide (1) electricalisolation from the test cell and internal fixtures

33、and (2)maintain a seal to prevent leakage of the test environment. Ifexternal heaters are used, no electric feed-throughs are re-quired.6.2.5 Electric Resistance or Induction Heater(s)Eitherinternal or external heaters can be used to obtain elevatedtemperature. For lower temperatures (300C), an inte

34、rnal heater is commonly used toheat only the test specimen and the gaseous environment in thevicinity of the test specimens to limit power requirements andproblems with high-temperature sealing and pressure contain-ment.7.
