24、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 International Standard include collection of diffusible hydrogen via displacement of mercury or collecti
25、on 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 latter. The temperature for collection of diffusible hydrogen is controlled to avoid thermal act
26、ivation of non-diffusible hydrogen. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

28、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 controlled to prevent premature loss of hydrogen. Finally, the specimen is transferred to a gas collect
29、ion 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 diffusible hydrogen into an evacuated gas burette or into the inert gas headspace, respectively. The a
30、mount 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 metal enables calculations of diffusible hydrogen in deposited metal, HD, or diffusible hydrogen in
31、fused weld metal, HF, to be made. 4DIN EN ISO 3690:2012-07 EN ISO 3690:2012 (E) 4 Test procedures 4.1 Production of weld specimens 4.1.1 Summary The welding consumable to be tested is used to deposit a single weld bead, which is rapidly quenched and subsequently stored at 78 C or lower until analysi
32、s. 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 processes specified in 4.2 is shown in Figure 1. It is designed to hold the uniform test pieces securely in alignment duri
33、ng 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 surface temperature of the fixture shall be between ambient and 25 C above ambient at the start of each test weld. The f
34、ixture 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 test welds. For all welding processes, the test piece assembly is clamped in the welding fixture using annealed coppe
35、r 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 (10 % by volume) followed by washing with distilled water and drying. 5DIN EN ISO 3690:2012-07 EN ISO 3690:2012 (E)

37、12-07 EN ISO 3690:2012 (E) 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 not more than 0,02 % by mass. The assembly shall conform to the dimensions shown in Figur
38、e 2 for assembly A, assembly B, or assembly C, with a tolerance of r0,25 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 represent minimum values. All surfaces shall be finished at right angles to ensure good
39、 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 exercised to obtain proper clamping. See 4.1.4 d) for evidence of proper clamping. The
40、 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 r 10 C for 1 h and cooled in either a dry inert gas atmosphere or a vacuum. Alternatively, the test piece assembly may be degassed an
41、d 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 numbering and removal of oxide, the mass, m1, of each centre test piece shall be de
42、termined to the nearest 0,1 g for assembly A or to the nearest 0,01 g for assembly B or assembly C.

44、ing and test piece storage The temperature of the welding fixture before each weld is made shall be ambient or not more than 25 C above ambient. If difficulty is caused by condensation of water on the fixture and test piece assembly, it is necessary to use cooling water thermostatically controlled t
45、o 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 test piece assembly that is clamped in the welding fixture as shown in Figure 1. The test piece assembly sh
46、all 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. The welding procedure is specified in steps a) to f). c) Welding shall be initiated on the run-on piec
47、e 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. d) Welding shall be terminated when the trailing edge of the crater is on the run-off piece but shall not exceed a distance of 25 mm from
48、 the centre test piece. e) After extinction of the arc, the clamp shall be released and the test piece assembly removed and immersed at 4 s r 1 s in an ice water bath. After 20 s r 2 s, the test piece assembly shall be transferred and completely immersed in a low-temperature bath containing, for example, methanol and solid carbon dioxide, denatured alcohol and solid carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen. After removal of the specimen from the ice water, ice shall still be present in th
