experiment example 1

[0122] A heat treatment experiment was performed using a test piece made of SUS316. The test piece was a round bar with a diameter of 7 mm. Cut into a disc shape with a diameter of 7mm and a thickness of 0.8mm for TDS measurement. In the experiment, the test piece was put into the test piece and heated for 20 minutes at a temperature of 800°C. The experimental environment at this time was the atmosphere, a vacuum environment (about 0.006 Pa) and an Ar gas environment. In the case of Ar gas, heat treatment is performed while supplying it. The temperature increase rate when heating to 700°C is 0.5°C per second. The released hydrogen was measured upon heating to 700°C.

[0123] The measurement was performed with a temperature-rising desorption analyzer EMD-WA1000S / H manufactured by Electronic Science Co., Ltd. (Location: Musashino City, Tokyo, Japan). The results of this measurement are as Figure 12 shown. The horizontal axis of the graph in the figure represents the meas...

experiment example 2

[0125] Heat treatment experiments were performed using test pieces made of SUH660. The test piece was a round bar with a diameter of 7 mm. Cut into a disc shape with a diameter of 7mm and a thickness of 0.8mm for TDS measurement. In the experiment, the test piece was put into the test piece for heat treatment for 16 hours at a temperature of 720° C., and the aging treatment was carried out. The experimental environment at this time is a vacuum environment (about 0.006 Pa). The hydrogen concentration of the test piece before the aging treatment was 1.3 ppm. After the aging treatment, the hydrogen concentration of the test piece became 0.6 ppm.

[0126] In this way, stainless steel is subjected to aging treatment or the like in its manufacturing process to remove hydrogen contained therein. The temperature rise rate when heated to 700°C is 0.33°C per second. Upon heating to 600°C, the hydrogen released was measured. The measurement was carried out with a temperature-rising...

[0128] Heat treatment experiments were performed using test pieces made of SUS304 and SUS316L. The test piece was a disk-shaped sample with a diameter of 7 mm and a thickness of 0.4 mm. The experimental environment during this heat treatment was the environment in the air. The atmospheric environment is about 0.1013 MPa. In the experiment, the test piece was put into the air environment at a temperature of 300°C and 450°C for heat treatment for 2 hours to perform aging treatment.

[0129] The TDS measurement was carried out in a state of a disc shape with a diameter of 7 mm and a thickness of 0.4 mm after the heat treatment. The TDS measurement was performed with a temperature-rising desorption analyzer (EMD-WA1000S / H) manufactured by Electronic Science Co., Ltd. (Musashino-shi, Tokyo, Japan). The results of this measurement are as Figure 14 shown. The horizontal axis of the graph in the figure represents the measurement temperature, and the vertical axis represents the ...

Abstract

An austenitic stainless steel free from diffusible hydrogen and nondiffusible hydrogen and a process for hydrogen removal of austenitic stainless steel are provided with attention paid to diffusible hydrogen and nondiffusible hydrogen which are causative of the hydrogen embrittlement of austenitic stainless steel. In order to remove diffusible hydrogen and nondiffusible hydrogen which are causative of the hydrogen embrittlement of austenitic stainless steel, an austenitic stainless steel is aged at a temperature of 200 to 1100 DEG C while being kept in an atmospheric environment, whereby the hydrogen (H) content of the steel is lowered to 0.001mass% (1ppm by mass) or below.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel with reduced hydrogen embrittlement and a hydrogen removal method thereof. In particular, it relates to an austenitic stainless steel in which the influence of hydrogen present in the austenitic stainless steel on the growth of fatigue cracks occurring in the austenitic stainless steel is reduced, and a method for removing hydrogen therefrom. Background technique [0002] From the perspective of the global environment, the use of hydrogen as a next-generation energy source has attracted attention, and related research and development are also active. In particular, the development of fuel cell vehicles and stationary fuel cells that use hydrogen as fuel has attracted attention as an important issue. The use of stainless steel has been studied as materials for high-pressure hydrogen tanks, various components, piping, and the like in this fuel cell system (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). ...
