Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Specific gas impurities, such as oxygen and carbon monoxide, contained in hydrogen gas inhibit hydrogen embrittlement by preventing hydrogen uptake into the material. The final goal of this study is to apply this inhibitory effect of gas impurities as a new hydrogen embrittlement suppression technology. In this study, to quantitative evaluate the inhibitory effect of gas impurities, the effects of species of impurity, material strength, loading rate were investigated. The new findings are as follows: When comparing the inhibitory effects of oxygen and carbon monoxide, oxygen had stronger inhibitory effect. The inhibitory effects of oxygen and carbon monoxide decreased with the increase in the material strength. The inhibitory effect of oxygen increased with the decrease in the loading rate, however, the inhibitory effect of carbon monoxide decreased.
