18、vedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
19、a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matt
20、ers of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circul
21、ated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsib
22、le for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 3690 was prepared by International Institute of Welding, Commission II, Arc welding and filler metals, recognized as an international standardizing body in the field of welding in accordance with Council Resolution 42/1999, in collaboration with
23、Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee SC 3, Welding consumables. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3690:2000), which has been technically revised. Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard shou
24、ld be directed to the ISO Central Secretariat, who will forward them to the IIW Secretariat for an official response.

25、 International Standard specifies the sampling and analytical procedure for the determination of diffusible hydrogen in martensitic, bainitic, and ferritic steel weld metal arising from the welding of such steels using arc welding processes with filler metal. The techniques specified in this Interna
26、tional Standard include collection of diffusible hydrogen via displacement of mercury or collection into a headspace filled with an inert gas such as argon. The amount of hydrogen collected is determined by measuring the displaced volume in the former and by, for example, thermal conductivity in the
27、 latter. The temperature for collection of diffusible hydrogen is controlled to avoid thermal activation of non-diffusible hydrogen. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
28、 For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

29、for arc welding ISO 80000-1, Quantities and units Part 1: General 3 Principle Filler material is deposited on to a standard test coupon in a manner that ensures control of pertinent variables to produce a representative specimen for analysis. Subsequent storage and handling of the specimen is contro
30、lled to prevent premature loss of hydrogen. Finally, the specimen is transferred to a gas collection apparatus (mercury method) or to a suitable vessel filled with an inert gas (thermal conductivity method) and held for a period of time at a temperature sufficient to quantitatively release the diffu
31、sible hydrogen into an evacuated gas burette or into the inert gas headspace, respectively. The amount of hydrogen collected is determined by measuring the displaced volume (mercury method) or by thermal conductivity. Finally, quantification of the mass of deposited metal or volume of fused weld met
32、al enables calculations of diffusible hydrogen in deposited metal, HD, or diffusible hydrogen in fused weld metal, HF, to be made.

33、 used to deposit a single weld bead, which is rapidly quenched and subsequently stored at 78 C or lower until analysis. Cleaning and slag removal are performed on the chilled specimen. 4.1.2 Welding fixture An example of a suitable welding fixture to provide uniform test pieces for the welding proce
34、sses specified in 4.2 is shown in Figure 1. It is designed to hold the uniform test pieces securely in alignment during welding and, in particular, to ensure that unclamping upon completion of welding can be carried out in a single operation according to the conditions specified in 4.1.4 c). The sur
35、face temperature of the fixture shall be between ambient and 25 C above ambient at the start of each test weld. The fixture may be water cooled to decrease the cycle time. The temperature of the cooling water shall be controlled to prevent condensation of water on the surface of the fixture between
36、test welds. For all welding processes, the test piece assembly is clamped in the welding fixture using annealed copper foil as shown in Figure 1. The foil may be annealed repeatedly and quenched in water after each annealing. Oxide scale after annealing is removed by pickling with dilute nitric acid

38、 A copper B carbon steel Figure 1 Example of a suitable welding fixture and test piece assembly for weld deposits 4.1.3 Test piece assemblies The test piece assembly shall be prepared from plain carbon non-rimming steel with a carbon content of not more than 0,18 % by mass and a sulfur content of no
39、t more than 0,02 % by mass. The assembly shall conform to the dimensions shown in Figure 2 for assembly A, assembly B, or assembly C, with a tolerance of 0,25 mm on all dimensions except the length of the run-on and run-off pieces. The lengths shown in Figure 2 for the run-on and the run-off piece r
40、epresent minimum values. All surfaces shall be finished at right angles to ensure good contact between adjacent pieces during the welding operation. Each test piece assembly may be finished with one operation on a surface grinder so as to ensure a uniform width, or closer dimensional control may be
41、exercised to obtain proper clamping. See 4.1.4 d) for evidence of proper clamping. The centre test piece shall be numbered by engraving or stamping on the opposite side of that used for welding. The entire test piece assembly shall be degassed at 650 C 10 C for 1 h and cooled in either a dry inert g
42、as atmosphere or a vacuum. Alternatively, the test piece assembly may be degassed and cooled in air if the surface oxide layer is removed prior to testing. Degassed test piece assemblies shall be stored in a desiccator or under other suitable conditions to prevent oxidation of the test pieces. After
43、 numbering and removal of oxide, the mass, m1, of each centre test piece shall be determined to the nearest 0,1 g for assembly A or to the nearest 0,01 g for assembly B or assembly C.

If difficulty is caused by condensation of water on
46、 the fixture and test piece assembly, it is necessary to use cooling water thermostatically controlled to ambient temperature or as much as 25 C higher. Using the welding process as specified in 4.2, and parameters appropriate to the type of investigation, a single weld bead shall be made on the tes
47、t piece assembly that is clamped in the welding fixture as shown in Figure 1. The test piece assembly shall be cleaned in acetone prior to being clamped into the welding fixture. Copper foil strips, as shown in Figure 1, shall be used to facilitate thermal transfer and prevent erosion of the fixture
48、. The welding procedure is specified in steps a) to f). a) Welding shall be initiated on the run-on piece at a point sufficiently distant from the centre test piece such that a stable arc and a stable deposit shape are achieved before reaching the centre test piece. b) Welding shall be terminated wh

After 20 s 2 s, the test piece assembly shall be transferred and completely immersed in a low-temperature bath containing, for example, methanol and solid carbon BS EN ISO 3690:2012ISO 3690:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 5dioxide, de
