Scope1.1 This test method describes mechanical test methods anddefines acceptance criteria for coating and plating processesthat can cause hydrogen embrittlement in steels. Subsequentexpo
4、sure to chemicals encountered in service environments,such as fluids, cleaning treatments or maintenance chemicalsthat come in 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 ste
5、els. The relative susceptibility ofdifferent materials to hydrogen embrittlement may be deter-mined in accordance with Test Method F 1459 and TestMethod F 1624.1.3 This test method specifies the use of air melted AISIE4340 steel per SAE AMS-S-5000 (formerly MIL-S-5000)heat treated to 260 280 ksi (po
6、unds per square inch x 1000)as the baseline. This combination of alloy and heat treat levelhas been used for many years and a large database has beenaccumulated in the aerospace industry on its specific responseto exposure to a wide variety of maintenance chemicals, orelectroplated coatings, or both

In such cases, the cognizant engineering authorityshall determine the need for manufacturing specimens from thespecific material and heat treat condition of the component.Deviations from the baseline s

10、 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 hydro-gen embrittlement testing.
11、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-second (fps) systemin inch-poun
