What is BS EN 2832 - Hydrogen embrittlement of steels about?
Hydrogen gas can adsorb and dissociate on the steel surface to produce atomic hydrogen. The subsequent dissolution and diffusion of atomic hydrogen into steels can degrade mechanical properties, a phenomenon generally referred to as hydrogen embrittlement.
BS EN 2832 specifies the method for the notched specimen test, which is used to assess the hydrogen embrittlement of steels during chemical or electrolytic surface treatments.
Who is BS EN 2832 - Hydrogen embrittlement of steels for?
BS EN 2832 on Hydrogen embrittlement of steels is useful for:
- The construction industry
- The automotive / aerospace industry
- The chemical industry
- Manufacturers of steel products
- Product development / innovation teams
- Quality control / testing personnel
- Tribology researchers
Why should you use BS EN 2832 - Hydrogen embrittlement of steels?
Different types of steel may show varied reactions with hydrogen. The embrittlement test provided in BS EN 2832 helps you to assess the effect on your sample.
BS EN 2832 guides you with the test procedure with details such as the material, dimensions, surface treatment, and the procedure. Details on fault sanction have also been provided in BS EN 2832. Test report guidelines have been provided for your reference. The diagram and table provided in BS EN 2832 further clarify testing details for your reference.
BS EN 2832 guidelines help you to assess the embrittlement effect of hydrogen on steels so that you can manufacture and supply high-quality steel products.
