Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of research on hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of metal materials, and specifically relates to a device for detecting hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of metal materials in a pure hydrogen and hydrogen-doped environment. Background Technique
[0002] The research on hydrogen embrittlement of metal materials is usually carried out by experiments or simulation calculations. In experiments, hydrogen atoms are mainly introduced into the material through electrochemical hydrogen charging or gas-phase hydrogen charging. Compared with gas-phase hydrogen charging, the experimental results of electrochemical hydrogen charging usually have better repeatability. However, in reality, the inner wall of the metal pipeline in service will be in direct contact with gaseous hydrogen, and electrochemical hydrogen charging cannot simulate this actual working condition, but gas-phase hydrogen charging can. Therefore, most current researchers generally use slow strain rate tensile tests in a gas-phase hydrogen environment to study the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of rod-shaped or sheet-shaped metal specimens. In order to make the specimens in an environment full of hydrogen, pressure vessels are generally required, which greatly increases the experimental cost and potential safety hazards. In addition, some researchers have also tried to process the tensile specimens into a tubular structure and inject hydrogen into the tubular specimens to carry out hydrogen embrittlement research, so as to solve the problems of experimental cost and safety. However, the processing process of the specimens used in tensile experiments is generally cumbersome and expensive, and the analysis of the specimens after fracture is usually only focused on the fracture surface, and other parts have little research value, resulting in waste of materials.

[0040] (4) Connect the gas pipe of the gas cylinder to the left high-pressure needle valve 8, open the left high-pressure needle valve 8 and the right high-pressure needle valve 13, and use the gas in the gas cylinder to flush the air chamber 64. After flushing for 20 - 30 minutes, close the right high-pressure needle valve 13 to make the internal gas pressure of the air chamber 64 reach 1 - 4 MPa, close the left high-pressure needle valve 8 and keep it closed for 10 - 20 minutes, then open the right high-pressure needle valve 13, and then open the left high-pressure needle valve 8 to continue flushing for 20 - 30 minutes.

When the gas pressure reaches the predetermined value of the experimental plan, close the left high-pressure needle valve 8, then close the gas cylinder switch, and disassemble the gas pipe of the gas cylinder connected to the left high-pressure needle valve 8;
[0042] (6) Place the spherical indenter 4 into the pressure rod insertion hole 32 of the upper part of the fixture body 3, then insert the pressure rod 1 into the pressure rod insertion hole 32 of the upper part of the fixture body 3, fit the cylindrical fixed section 9 of the lower part of the fixture into the fixed slot of the electronic universal testing machine, and start the small punch test after setting parameters such as the loading rate, the downward displacement, and the sampling interval.
[0043] Example 1
[0044] As Figure 1 、Figure 2(a), Figure 2(b), Figure 3(a), Figure 3(b), Figure 4As shown in the figure, a device for detecting the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of metal materials in a pure hydrogen and hydrogen-doped environment in this embodiment. The circular sheet specimen 5 is clamped between the upper part fixture body 3 and the lower part fixture body 6. The upper and lower surfaces of the circular sheet specimen 5 are in close contact with the lower surface of the upper part fixture body 3 and the O-ring 10 placed in the sealing groove 62 of the lower part fixture body 6 respectively. The upper part fixture body 3 and the lower part fixture body 6 are connected together by screws 2. Among them, the circular sheet specimen 5 is made of X42 pipeline steel, with a diameter of 9 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm. Assemble the circular sheet specimen 5 and the fixture together according to the above operation method. After the gas washing and gas charging processes are completed, install the specimen and the fixture as a whole on an electronic universal testing machine and start the test. The test temperature is room temperature, the set loading rate is 0.004 mm / min, and the sampling interval is 1 s.
[0045] As Figure 5 shown, the circular sheet specimen 5 used is made of X42 pipeline steel. After filling 4 MPa of H2 and 4 MPa of N2 into the gas chamber 64 of the lower part fixture body 6 respectively and conducting the small punch test, the load-displacement curves obtained are significantly different. Compared with 4 MPa of N2, the values of the maximum load, failure displacement, and small punch energy obtained from the load-displacement curve under 4 MPa of H2 are all significantly reduced. The failure displacement is generally the displacement value corresponding to 80% of the maximum load in the descending stage of the load-displacement curve, and the small punch energy is generally obtained by integrating the displacement value corresponding to the maximum load on the load-displacement curve.
[0046] The circular sheet specimen 5 used is made of X42 pipeline steel. After filling 4 MPa of H2 and 4 MPa of N2 into the gas chamber 64 of the lower part fixture body 6 respectively and conducting the small punch test, the overall SEM morphology of the surface of the circular sheet specimen is significantly different. When the downward displacement is set to 2.5 mm in both cases, the opening degree of the specimen after rupture under 4 MPa of N2 is small and there are basically no secondary cracks near the rupture area; the opening degree of the specimen after rupture under 4 MPa of H2 is very large and there are secondary cracks all over the area near the rupture area.
[0047] The circular specimen 5 used is made of X42 pipeline steel. After filling 4 MPa of H2 and 4 MPa of N2 into the gas chambers 64 of the lower fixture body 6 respectively, significant differences exist in the SEM microscopic morphology characteristics within the surface rupture area of the circular specimen obtained from the small punch test. Under 4 MPa of N2, shear-type dimples structure appears within the specimen rupture area, belonging to the characteristics of ductile fracture; under 4 MPa of H2, quasi-cleavage structure appears within the specimen rupture area, belonging to the characteristics of brittle fracture. The experimental results are basically consistent with the expected assumptions, indicating that the fixture meets the test and design requirements and proving the effectiveness of this method. The degree of hydrogen embrittlement can be comprehensively judged by the maximum load, failure displacement, small punch energy obtained from the load-displacement curve and combined with the rupture morphology on the surface of the circular specimen.
[0048] The implementation results show that the present utility model obtains a device and a use method for detecting the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of metal materials in pure hydrogen and hydrogen-doped environments. It can not only simulate the real working conditions of gas-phase hydrogen contacting metal materials in actual engineering, but also solve the experimental cost problems brought by equipment requirements and specimen processing. At the same time, it greatly simplifies the experimental operation process, which is of great significance for the study of the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of metal materials. The actual application process of the device of the present utility model is applicable to specimens of most metal materials, such as: No. 20 steel, X52 pipeline steel, X65 pipeline steel, etc. In this embodiment, the structure of the indenter is spherical. During the actual application of the fixture, the indenter can also be designed into a cylindrical structure according to the situation.
[0049] The above schematically describes the present utility model and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive, and what is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present utility model. The actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments without creative efforts without departing from the creative purpose of the present utility model, they all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
