8、t Method3.1 A hydrogen-containing part is made the anode in anelectrochemical cell.The diffusible(atomic)hydrogen,whichcomes to the metal-electrolyte interface,is oxidized to protons(H+);H+combines with hydroxyl ions(OH)in the electrolyteto form water.The oxidation current is measured and related to
9、the hydrogen concentration.4.Significance and Use4.1 The critical level of hydrogen in steels is that hydrogenwhich can build up to high concentrations at points of hightriaxial stress causing embrittlement of the steel which can leadto catastrophic damage.This hydrogen can enter by variousmeans,suc
10、h as during pickling and electroplating.Means ofreducing this hydrogen during processing are given in Speci-fication B766 and Practices B183 and B242.It is stillnecessary,however,to know how effective these methods are.Though the ultimate reason for measuring this hydrogen is torelate it to embrittl
11、ement,this is not within the scope of this testmethod.As susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement is afunction of alloy type,heat treatment,intended use,and soforth,the tolerance for hydrogen must be determined by theuser according to Method F519.4.2 Though the actual hydrogen concentration is not d
12、eter-mined in this test method,the current densities have beenshown to be useful as an indication of relative hydrogenconcentrations(1-3),3and therefore the degree of hydrogenembrittlement(1,2).Thus,measurements can be compared toone another(see 4.1 and 7.1).4.3 This test method is applicable as a q
13、uality control toolfor processing(such as to monitor plating and baking)or tomeasure hydrogen uptake caused by corrosion.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F07 onAerospace and Aircraft and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F07.04 onHydrogen Embrittlement.Current
