6、ethod3.1 Characterization of HE resistance of hard-drawn steel wire is accomplished by determining the time-to-failure of a wirespecimen under a maintained constant tensile force, while immersed in a heated solution of ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN).The load, tensile force, the solution temperature,
7、and length of time in the test are continuously monitored.4. Significance and Use4.1 Hard-drawn steel wire as used in prestressingprestressed concrete pipe may be exposed to elemental hydrogen favorable tohydrogen induced embrittlement and cracking. Resistance to hydrogen embrittlement is necessary
8、for prestressing wire to providelong-term performance to installed pipe.4.2 The length of time that a stressed wire specimen resists failure while exposed to a heated solution of NH4SCN, is anindication of the specimens resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.5. Apparatus5.1 Test CellThe test cell shal
9、l contain the test solution and the wire specimen and be constructed of material which is inertto NH4SCN (as shown in Fig. 1). The test cell shall be cylindrical with an inside diameter sufficient to provide a minimum of 5mL of solution per 100 mm2 (2 in.3 per in.2) of wire specimen surface area in
10、contact with the solution. The test cell length shallallow the exposure of a minimum test samplespecimen length of 150 mm (6 in.) to the test solution. The test cell shall be sodesigned that the wire specimen passes through it and is sufficiently exposed outside the end of the cell as to allow appli
11、cation ofa tensile force to the specimen.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee A01.05on Steel Reinforcement.Current edition approved May 1, 2010May 1, 2015.
