1、Designation: F519 17aStandard Test Method forMechanical Hydrogen Embrittlement Evaluation of Plating/Coating Processes and Service Environments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F519; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the
2、 case of revision, the year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This
3、test method describes mechanical test methods anddefines acceptance criteria for coating and plating processesthat can cause hydrogen embrittlement in steels. Subsequentexposure to chemicals encountered in service environments,such as fluids, cleaning treatments or maintenance chemicalsthat come in
4、contact with the plated/coated or bare surface ofthe steel, can also be evaluated.1.2 This test method is not intended to measure the relativesusceptibility of different steels. The relative susceptibility ofdifferent materials to hydrogen embrittlement may be deter-mined in accordance with Test Met
5、hod F1459 and Test MethodF1624.1.3 This test method specifies the use of air melted SAE4340 steel (Grade A, see 7.1.1) per SAE AMS 6415 (formerlySAEAMS-S-5000 and formerly MIL-S-5000) or an alternativeVAR (Vacuum Arc Remelt) SAE 4340 steel (Grade B, see7.1.1) per SAE AMS 6414, and both are heat trea
6、ted to 260 to280 ksi (pounds per square inch 1000) as the baseline. Thiscombination of alloy and heat treat level has been used formany years and a large database has been accumulated in theaerospace industry on its specific response to exposure to awide variety of maintenance chemicals, or electrop
7、latedcoatings, or both. Components with ultimate strengths higherthan 260 to 280 ksi may not be represented by the baseline. Insuch cases, the cognizant engineering authority shall determinethe need for manufacturing specimens from the specific mate-rial and heat treat condition of the component. De
8、viations fromthe baseline shall be reported as required by 12.1.2. Thesensitivity to hydrogen embrittlement shall be demonstrated foreach lot of specimens as specified in 9.5.NOTE 1Extensive testing has shown that VAR 4340 steel may be usedas an alternative to the air melted steel with no loss in se
9、nsitivity.2NOTE 2VAR 4340 also meets the requirements in AMS 6415 andcould be used as an alternative to air melt steel by the steel suppliersbecause AMS 6415 does not specify a melting practice.1.4 Test procedures and acceptance requirements are speci-fied for seven specimens of different sizes, geo
10、metries, andloading configurations.1.5 Pass/Fail RequirementsFor plating/coating processes,specimens must meet or exceed 200 h using a sustained loadtest (SLT) at the levels shown in Table 3.1.5.1 The loading conditions and pass/fail requirements forservice environments are specified in Annex A5.1.5
11、.2 If approved by the cognizant engineering authority, aquantitative, accelerated ( 24 h) incremental step-load (ISL)test as defined in Annex A3 may be used as an alternative toSLT.1.6 This test method is divided into two parts. The first partgives general information concerning requirements for hyd
12、ro-gen embrittlement testing. The second is composed of annexesthat give specific requirements for the various loading andspecimen configurations covered by this test method (seesection 9.1 for a list of types) and the details for testing serviceenvironments.1.7 The values stated in the foot-pound-s
13、econd (fps) systemin inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The valuesgiven in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI unitsthat are provided for information only and are not consideredstandard.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associat
14、ed with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F07 onAerospace and Aircraft and is the di

Summary of Test Methods4.1 Plating/coating ProcessesUnstressed test specimensare cleaned, plated/coated, and baked (if applicable) in accor-dance with the specification to which the process is to bequalified. Specimens are then maintained under a sustainedload in air to measure
36、 the time to rupture/completion of the testperiod.4.2 Service EnvironmentsSpecimens are tested in theservice environment. The sequence of exposure to the environ-ment and loading shall be as defined in Annex A5.Ifplated/coated test specimens are to be utilized for evaluating aservice environment, th

Significance and Use5.1 Plating/coating ProcessesThis test method provides ameans by which to detect possible hydrogen embrittlement ofsteel parts during manufacture by verifying strict controlsduring p
38、roduction operations such as surface preparation,pretreatments, and plating/coating. It is also intended to beused as a qualification test for new plating/coating processesand as a periodic inspection audit for the control of aplating/coating process.5.2 Service EnvironmentThis test method provides
39、ameans by which to detect possible hydrogen embrittlement ofsteel parts (plated/coated or bare) due to contact with chemicalsduring manufacturing, overhaul and service life. The details oftesting in a service environment are found in Annex A5.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachineTesting machines shall be

41、arm type hangingweight machines, or by routine empirical measurement (elec-tronic output) such as for strain gauge load cells. Estimatingtest loads that are derived from load ring deflections only is notallowed, unless the effects of specimen grip joint compliance isknown, is accounted for, and with
