수소 장입된 극저온용 철강 소재의 수소 취화 특성 평가 Part I : 수소 장입량 비교 Research for Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility of Hydrogen Charged Cryogenic Steels Part I : Hydrogen Charging
pp.792-798
Due to global warming and environmental pollution, environmental regulations are getting stronger, and the International Maritime Organization announced regulations to reduce CO2 emissions in 2018. In order to respond to this, interest in hydrogen energy is growing, and research on liquid hydrogen is spotlighted for storage and transport of large amounts of hydrogen. Hydrogen reduces in volume to 1/800 when liquefied, but its boiling point is close to absolute zero(-253°C), and hydrogen embrittlement that penetrates other materials and weakens mechanical properties. In this study, the change of mechanical properties under cryogenic conditions (-196 degrees below zero) was confirmed after charging hydrogen into existing cryogenic materials (Stainless steel, High Manganese steel, 9% Nickel steel). In Part I, hydrogen was charged using an electrochemical method and quantitative evaluation was performed. In all four materials, as the changing time increased, the diffusible hydrogen concentration increased. After 24 hours charging, the hydrogen loading of 20 wppm in 9% Ni steel and 15 wppm in high-Mn steel was confirmed. In a follow-up study, we plan to study the effect of hydrogen charging by comparing the results of the mechanical properties test with the above results.
