Dependence Of Time To Fracture Due To Hydrogen Embrittlement On Stress, Hydrogen Content, And Temperature In Rebar For Prestressed Concrete

Dependence Of Time To Fracture Due To Hydrogen Embrittlement On Stress, Hydrogen Content, And Temperature In Rebar For Prestressed Concrete
Available for download

Rebars used in prestressed concrete structures are constantly subjected to tensile stress, and some rebars have been reported to fracture due to hydrogen embrittlement.1 It is important to know the hydrogen embrittlement behavior in rebars to prevent fractures. The effects of environmental conditions such as tensile stress, hydrogen content, and temperature on time to fracture have been evaluated individually;2,3 however, their combined effects have not been clarified. The purpose of this study is to experimentally clarify the relationship between time to fracture due to hydrogen embrittlement and environmental conditions to which the rebars are subjected.

We conducted a constant load test to evaluate how stress, hydrogen content, and temperature affect time to fracture due to hydrogen embrittlement in rebar for prestressed concrete. We experimented on tempered martensitic steel rebar taken from prestressed concrete structures prepared for the test. Hydrogen charging was performed by cathodic charging at a current density of 10 A/m2 in a 1 M NaHCO3 solution with ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) added. The sub-surface hydrogen content was controlled by changing the NH4SCN concentration in the solution. The experimental results showed that the time to fracture decreased with increasing applied tensile stress in a power law relationship. The time to fracture and sub-surface hydrogen content also demonstrated a power law relationship, while stress and hydrogen content had no effect on the respective power indexes. Temperature affected the coefficient of power law and the power index of hydrogen content, but the power index of tensile stress was mostly independent of temperature.

Erosion is one of the major threats of the pipeline integrity1 when it’s transporting liquid hydrocarbon products with solid particles. The erosion process decreases the effective wall thickness and therefore reduces the capacity of the pipeline to contain the pressured product. This can induce serious consequences including property, health and safety, environment, and business costs.

Today, the push to find more environmentally friendly solutions for paints and coatings has become very important. Paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that contribute to ground level ozone and smog and can be harmful to human health and air quality. VOC limits for formulated coatings have been instituted by local governments to meet the highest air quality standards. One such regional regulation set a limit of 100 g/L for industrial maintenance coatings in the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) of Southern California in 2007.

Extensive and increased collocation of high voltage AC (HVAC) electrical transmission lines, coupled with advances in coating technology, has resulted in the emergence of the possibility of transfer of electrical energy from the HVAC line to paralleling utilities through electrical induction. That transfer of energy can result in safety risks for personnel, as well as corrosion risks for below grade assets. In order to mitigate those risks, operators ground the induced AC using grounding electrodes, typically consisting of bare copper cabling or zinc ribbon.
