Hydrogen Degradation of the Pressure Gas Tanks Materials after Long-Term Service

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is experimentally established that air-tested samples of degraded material showed tooth flow that disappears for tests in hydrogen. The main feature inherent in the studied materials are metastable and presence of more or less pronounced time-and temperature-dependent processes of structural relaxation, which reduces the total free energy of a thermodynamic system. The values of fracture toughness minimize the square deviation of experimentally obtained values drift from the theoretical curve corresponding to the exponential relaxation function.
