Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for testing hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of materials in different hydrogen-doped environments, and belongs to the technical field of energy transportation. Background Art
[0002] Hydrogen is a highly efficient, clean energy source with enormous development prospects. Its role in industry and daily life is expected to grow. While China has been gradually increasing its development and utilization of hydrogen energy, this has also placed significant pressure on its transportation. Currently, pipelines are perhaps the most economical and widespread mode of transport for gas. Rebuilding hydrogen pipelines still incurs significant economic costs. Transporting hydrogen or a hydrogen-natural gas blend through existing natural gas pipelines could effectively address this challenge. However, compared to natural gas, hydrogen atoms have a smaller diameter and are more likely to penetrate pipeline materials under high-pressure conditions, causing hydrogen embrittlement and posing a significant risk to pipeline safety. Therefore, experimental testing of pipeline hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility is essential. This paper proposes a material mechanical property testing method simulating hydrogen-doped environments. This method can effectively investigate the hydrogen embrittlement mechanism of materials in different hydrogen-doped environments, providing effective guidance for accident prevention and control in hydrogen-doped pipelines. This method has significant technical and economic value in the field of energy transportation technology.
[0003] Hydrogen embrittlement can be divided into two categories, depending on the source of the hydrogen. The first is internal hydrogen embrittlement, caused by excessive hydrogen absorption during smelting, forging, welding, electroplating, or pickling. The second type, environmental hydrogen embrittlement, is a brittle fracture caused by the combined effects of stress and hydrogen or other hydrogen-containing media. For hydrogen-blended natural gas pipeline transportation, environmental hydrogen embrittlement is the primary factor affecting pipeline safety and is a key research focus.
[0004] In most current studies on hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms, material testing is traditional static hydrogen charging testing or dynamic hydrogen charging testing. For static hydrogen charging testing, the metal material generally needs to be placed in an electrolyte first, and hydrogen is continuously generated at the metal end through electrochemical means. After the hydrogen is fully in contact with the metal material for a period of time, the material can be hydrogenated; or the metal material is placed in a high-pressure hydrogen environment for a period of time to complete the hydrogen charging of the material. The testing process of metal materials can be completed in a normal pressure environment. For dynamic hydrogen charging testing, the metal material is placed in a high-pressure reactor, and a regulating valve is used to simulate a variety of hydrogen-doped environments. The metal material is always in a high-pressure hydrogen environment during the process of testing mechanical properties.
[0005] In general, static hydrogen charging experiments are relatively simple and cannot effectively simulate different hydrogen doping environments. Dynamic hydrogen charging experiments, on the other hand, are more dangerous, with difficulty in accurately controlling the hydrogen doping ratio and unable to precisely test experimental conditions with small hydrogen doping ratio intervals. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for testing the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of materials that can be tested in different hydrogen doping environments. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The hydrogen-charged specimen obtained in step (4) is subjected to a slow tensile test, and the load-displacement data of the hydrogen-charged specimen is recorded; a non-hydrogen-charged specimen is set as a control group, and a slow tensile test is performed on the non-hydrogen-charged specimen in a nitrogen environment, and the load-displacement data of the non-hydrogen-charged specimen is recorded; the tensile strength of the hydrogen-charged specimen and the tensile strength of the non-hydrogen-charged specimen in a nitrogen environment are obtained based on the load-displacement data, and the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of the material is calculated according to formula (II):

[0032] The hydrogen embrittlement of the pipe material is an important factor affecting the safety of natural gas pipeline hydrogen transportation. By testing and exploring the pipe material embrittlement mechanism in the hydrogen-doped environment, effective guidance can be provided for the accident prevention and control of the hydrogen-doped pipeline. However, in the current testing method, the electrochemical hydrogen charging experiment condition is relatively single, which cannot effectively simulate different hydrogen-doped environments. The high-pressure environment hydrogen charging experiment is relatively dangerous, and the control precision of the hydrogen-doped ratio is difficult to guarantee, which cannot precisely test the experimental conditions with small hydrogen-doped ratio intervals.

Afterwards, a tensile test is performed on the material after hydrogen charging is completed by a mechanical testing machine (i.e., a slow stress strain tensile testing machine). Finally, the load-displacement curve of the material under different hydrogen doping environments is used to obtain the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of the material under different hydrogen doping environments, and the variation law of the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of the material under different hydrogen doping environments is analyzed. The method of the present invention can realize the mechanical property testing of materials under different hydrogen doping environments, and then obtain the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of materials under different hydrogen doping environments. This method effectively reduces the risk of the experiment, and has high quantitative accuracy, and can complete experimental conditions with a small hydrogen doping ratio interval.

In this embodiment, the hydrogenation environment pressure set is 2 MPa, the hydrogenation ratio is 30%, and the hydrogenation time is one week, i.e., 604800 s.
[0051] (4) This example studies the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of materials in a hydrogen-doped environment with a pressure of 2 MPa and a hydrogen doping ratio of 30%.
