  • Improved fracture properties of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy under sustained tensile load in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide by hydrogen charging

    Takehiro Shimada, Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Journal of Alloys and Compounds   752   1 - 7  2018.07  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    We have attempted to improve the fracture properties of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy under a sustained tensile load in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide by charging with a small amount of hydrogen, which causes negligible hydrogen embrittlement. For hydrogen charged in the parent phase, no pitting potential is observed in anodic polarization curves for the present test solution
    the time to fracture increases under an applied stress even in the elastic deformation region of the martensite phase. Upon aging after hydrogen charging, the pitting potential varies widely and the increase in the time to fracture slightly decreases. Hydrogen charging increases the time until a rapid shift of the corrosion potential in the less noble direction, corresponding to the breakdown of surface oxide films. The final fracture is mainly caused by overloading due to localized corrosion irrespective of hydrogen charging. For hydrogen charged in the martensite phase, i.e., the specimen not subjected to interactions between hydrogen and the stress-induced phase transformations, the time to fracture increases by more than that of the specimen subjected to the interactions. The present study indicates that a small amount of hydrogen charging is effective for inhibiting the localized corrosion of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy under applied stress in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide, thereby improving the fracture properties. In addition, changes in the hydrogen states and/or defects induced by the interactions between hydrogen and phase transformations probably play an important role in improving the fracture properties.

  • First interactions between hydrogen and stress-induced reverse transformation of Ni–Ti superelastic alloy

    Ken’ichi Yokoyama, Tatsuki Hashimoto, Jun’ichi Sakai

    Philosophical Magazine Letters   97 ( 11 ) 459 - 468  2017.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The first dynamic interactions between hydrogen and the stress-induced reverse transformation have been investigated by performing an unloading test on a Ni–Ti superelastic alloy subjected to hydrogen charging under a constant applied strain in the elastic deformation region of the martensite phase. Upon unloading the specimen, charged with a small amount of hydrogen, no change in the behaviour of the stress-induced reverse transformation is observed in the stress-strain curve, although the behaviour of the stress-induced martensite transformation changes. With increasing amount of hydrogen charging, the critical stress for the reverse transformation markedly decreases. Eventually, for a larger amount of hydrogen charging, the reverse transformation does not occur, i.e. there is no recovery of the superelastic strain. The residual martensite phase on the side surface of the unloaded specimen is confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Upon training before the unloading test, the properties of the reverse transformation slightly recover after ageing in air at room temperature. The present study indicates that to change the behaviour of the reverse transformation a larger amount of hydrogen than that for the martensite transformation is necessary. In addition, it is likely that a substantial amount of hydrogen in solid solution more strongly suppresses the reverse transformation than hydrogen trapped at defects, thereby stabilising the martensite phase.

  • Strong interactions between hydrogen in solid solution and stress-induced martensite transformation of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy

    Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Yuki Hirata, Toshiaki Inaba, Kenichiro Mutoh, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Philosophical Magazine Letters   97 ( 1 ) 11 - 18  2017  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The role of the dynamic interactions between hydrogen in a solid solution and the stress-induced martensite transformation in hydrogen embrittlement has been investigated using trained Ni-Ti superelastic alloy. In a cyclic tensile test in the stress plateau region caused by stress-induced martensite and reverse transformations after hydrogen charging, a further decrease in the critical stress for the martensite transformation is observed. In addition, the number of cycles to fracture for a trained specimen is significantly larger than that for a non-trained specimen. Since most of the charged hydrogen is preferentially trapped in defects induced by training, the hydrogen embrittlement is considerably suppressed as a result of decreasing interactions between the hydrogen and the transformation. The present results indicate that hydrogen in a solid solution more strongly interacts with the stress-induced martensite transformation than hydrogen trapped in defects, thereby further enhancing the hydrogen embrittlement related to phase transformations.

  • After-effects induced by interactions between hydrogen and the martensite transformation in Ni-Ti superelastic alloy

    Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Yuki Hirata, Jun'ichi Sakai

    PHILOSOPHICAL MAGAZINE LETTERS   97 ( 9 ) 350 - 358  2017  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The effects of dynamic interactions between hydrogen and a stress-induced martensite transformation on the recovery of deteriorated tensile properties by ageing in air at room temperature have been investigated for a Ni-Ti superelastic alloy. A specimen is subjected to single stress-induced martensite and reverse transformations immediately after hydrogen charging. Upon tensile testing, brittle fracture occurs in the latter half of the elastic deformation region of the martensite phase after the stress-induced martensite transformation. Upon ageing before the tensile test, fracture occurs during the stress-induced martensite transformation. In addition, the nano- and micro-morphologies of the brittle outer part of the fracture surface of the specimen are changed by ageing. Thus, the tensile properties markedly deteriorate, rather than recover, by ageing. The present results clearly indicate that dynamic interactions between hydrogen and the stress-induced martensite transformation have serious after-effects on hydrogen embrittlement of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy.

  • Effects of temperature, phase, elastic deformation and transformation on inhibition of localized corrosion of hydrogen-charged Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in NaCl solution

    Shigekazu Nishimoto, Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Toshiaki Inaba, Kenichiro Mutoh, Jun'ichi Sakai

    JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS   682   22 - 28  2016.10  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The effects of the solution temperature, phase, elastic deformation and the phase transformation on the inhibition of localized corrosion of a small amount of hydrogen-charged Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in 0.9% NaCl solution have been investigated by electrochemical measurements. No pitting potentials are observed in the anodic polarization curves obtained above room temperature and under static applied stress in the presence of parent or stress-induced martensite phases. In a dynamic cyclic tensile test in the elastic deformation region of the parent phase under various constant applied anodic potentials, the critical applied potential for an increase in the current density, which corresponds to the occurrence of localized corrosion, considerably shifts in the noble direction. At the stress plateau, i.e., in the superelastic region, caused by stress-induced martensite and reverse transformations, the critical applied potential for a marked increase in the current density slightly shifts in the noble direction. In the elastic deformation region of the stress-induced martensite phase, the critical applied potential for a marked increase in the current density shifts in the noble direction. The present results indicate that hydrogen charging is effective for inhibiting the localized corrosion of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in NaCl solution at various temperatures, irrespective of the phase itself, under dynamic elastic deformation and the phase transformation.

  • Effect of Ni on pit depth of 21Cr ferritic stainless steel under the atmospheric environment

    Yuichi Shibatsuji, Mizuki Nishimura, Tomohiro Ishii, So Aoki, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   65 ( 6 ) 259 - 263  2016

     View Summary

    The objective of this study was to clarify effect of Ni on pit depth of 21Cr ferritic stainless steel under the atmospheric environment. The atmospheric exposure test was conducted for 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months. After the atmospheric exposure, the depth of each pit was measured by a laser microscope. As a result, the estimated maximum pit depth became shallower by 1.5 mass% Ni addition. The pitting potential measurement test, the anodic polarization measurement test and the corrosion potential measurement test were also conducted. Ni did not have effect on the pitting potential. Ni not only reduced active dissolution but also facilitated repassivation. These electrochemical factors made pit depth shallower.

  • Effect of Cathodic Hydrogen Charging Conditions on Hydrogen Desorption Behavior of Ni-Ti Superelastic Alloy

    Oda Tetsuro, Ogawa Toshio, Sakai Jun'ichi

    Zairyo-to-Kankyo   65 ( 5 ) 197 - 201  2016

     View Summary

    We investigated the effect of hydrogen absorption conditions on hydrogen desorption behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy with cathodic hydrogen charging in 0.9% NaCl solution. The amount of desorbed hydrogen at low temperature (~200 ℃) increased with increasing cathodic current density. It is likely that the increment of the amount of desorbed hydrogen at low temperature was due to the increment of the amount of hydrides formation. Vickers hardness in the vicinity of the surface of the alloy also increased with increasing cathodic current density. This is probably due to the hydrides formation in the vicinity of the surface of the alloy. These results suggest that hydrogen concentration in the vicinity of the surface of the alloy increased with increasing cathodic current density, i. e., increasing the amount of generated hydrogen per unit time, thereby causing the acceleration of hydrides formation.

  • Inhibition of localized corrosion of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in NaCl solution by hydrogen charging

    Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Yuki Hirata, Toshiaki Inaba, Kenichiro Mutoh, Jun'ichi Sakai

    JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS   639   365 - 372  2015.08  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Inhibition of the localized corrosion of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in 0.9% NaCl solution has been attempted by charging with a small amount of hydrogen, which causes negligible hydrogen embrittlement. Upon a small amount of hydrogen charging, no pitting potential is observed in anodic polarization curves. From scanning electron microscope observations, localized corrosion is inhibited on the entire side surface of charged specimens. With increasing amount of charged hydrogen, the corrosion potential shifts in the less noble direction and the current density increases under anodic applied potential. When the hydrogen charged specimens are aged in the atmosphere at room temperature, the corrosion potential becomes almost the same as that of the non-charged specimen, but the inhibition of localized corrosion remains. The present study indicates that a small amount of hydrogen charging is effective for inhibiting the localized corrosion of the alloy in NaCl solution. (C) 2015 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

  • Electrochemical study on corrosion inhibition effect of Mannich-modified phenolic resin coating on galvanized steel

    Ryosuke Sako, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   64 ( 10 ) 466 - 474  2015  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The mechanism of corrosion inhibition of Mannich-modified phenolic resin coating which is one of the alternatives to chromate conversion coating on the electrogalvanized steel sheet was investigated by cross-section analysis and electrochemical measurements of the coating film. The 200°C cured coating film which has good corrosion inhibition has the higher charge transfer resistance (Rct) and the higher film resistance (Rf) calculated by electrochemical impedance measurement than the 80 °C cured coating film. The increase of these resistances is due to decrease of water absorption property of the film caused by crosslinking reaction. Namely the film resistance is enhanced by reduction of ionic conductivity of the film, and the charge transfer resistance is enhanced by reduction of the supply of the water containing dissolved oxygen to interface between the film and substrate. The phosphoric acid added to coating solution forms an insoluble zinc phosphate coating layer at the coating / material interface. The zinc phosphate coating layer, which is formed in close contact with the complex surface shape of the substrate by chemical interaction with the substrate surface by chemical interaction with the material surface, enhances the barrier effect to obstruct the contact of substrate with the water containing dissolved oxygen. Consequently the corrosion inhibition of the coating film is excellent. On the other hand, the 80°C cured coating film without phosphoric acid, which has no chemical interaction with the substrate, has some voids (defects) at film /substrate interface and its corrosion inhibition is inferior.

     View Summary

    The objective of this study is to clarify dissolution behavior of duplex stainless steels in crevice corrosion growth step. Crevice corrosion grew on the duplex stainless steels by holding potential at various values. After a certain period, dissolution behavior of the crevice corrosion was analyzed based on observation of corroded area. Change in crevice corrosion dissolution behavior with time was also investigated by means of in-situ observation. Four types of dissolution regions could be observed in the corrosion area from outside toward inside direction, i.e., tip of the corroded area toward initiation point, in a crevice
    they were passive region, the preferential dissolution region of γ phase, α phase and γ phase dissolution region, and the preferential dissolution region of α phase. The crevice corrosion which maintained that four dissolution regions grew toward the edge of the crevice. This dissolution behavior was given at all the potential where crevice corrosion occurred.

  • Role of Dynamic Interactions between Hydrogen and Strain-induced Martensite Transformation in Hydrogen Embrittlement of Type 304 Stainless Steel

    Yuma Yoshioka, Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Jun'ichi Sakai

    ISIJ INTERNATIONAL   55 ( 8 ) 1772 - 1780  2015  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The role of the dynamic interactions between hydrogen and the strain-induced martensite transformation in the hydrogen embrittlement of type 304 stainless steel has been investigated by fractographic observations after a modified hydrogen charging. The modified charging is cathodically conducted in 3.5% NaCl solution at 80 degrees C under aerated conditions while preventing the dissolution of chlorine and oxygen gases evolving on the platinum counter electrode, thus increasing the amount of hydrogen thermally desorbed at low temperatures. Upon tensile testing at 160 degrees C, plastic deformation of the austenite phase in the stainless steel occurs, but no strain-induced martensite transformation occurs. The fracture surface of the hydrogen-charged specimen exhibits the double-cup mode and consists of microscopic shallow dimples. Upon tensile testing at 25 degrees C, the martensite transformation and plastic deformation both occur and are intricately related; a brittle area is observed on the outer part of the fracture surface that exhibits both transgranular and intergranular fracture. At -196 degrees C, the martensite transformation increases, but the amount of plastic deformation decreases and the amount of intergranular fracture increases. It is found that, when the martensite transformation occurs before hydrogen charging, the amount of intergranular fracture decreases. Moreover, when charged hydrogen is trapped in defects in the austenite phase, the amount of intergranular fracture also decreases. The present study indicates that the dynamic interactions between hydrogen and the martensite transformation play an important role in the hydrogen embrittlement of type 304 stainless steel.

  • Effect of curing temperature on coating structure and corrosion resistance of ammonium zirconium carbonate on galvanized steel surface

    Ryosuke Sako, Jun'ichi Sakai

    SURFACE & COATINGS TECHNOLOGY   219   42 - 49  2013.03  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    The effect of curing temperature on the structure and corrosion resistance of an ammonium zirconium carbonate (AZC) coating on galvanized steel was investigated as an alternative to chromate. The corrosion resistance of the AZC coating was excellent when cured at 80 degrees C, but it decreased with an increase in the curing temperature; it was significantly inferior at curing temperatures over 160 degrees C. Two endothermic events were observed at 115 degrees C and 155 degrees C. The event at 115 degrees C resulted from the elimination of the water molecule coordinated to the zirconium atom, and the event at 155 degrees C resulted from the dehydration condensation of the hydroxide group involved in the bonds between zirconium, i.e., conversion of an ol-bridge to an oxo-bridge. Furthermore, it was observed that the cathode current of the coating plate cured at 160 degrees C or 200 degrees C, whose corrosion resistance was inferior to that at 80 degrees C or 120 degrees C in the salt spray test, increased. It is supposed that the dehydration occurring at 155 degrees C promoted shrinkage of the coating volume, which in turn caused the development of fissures on the coating surface. The fissures on the coating surface reduced the corrosion resistance significantly due to the increase in cathode current, which signifies the reduction of dissolved oxygen at the coating/metal interface.

  • Hydrogen absorption behavior of titanium alloys by cathodic polarization

     View Summary

    Titanium and Ti-5mass%Ta alloy has been utilized in nuclear fuel reprocessing plant material because of its superior corrosion resistance in nitric acid solutions. However, Ti alloy have been known to high susceptibility of hydrogen embrittlement. To evaluate properties of hydrogen absorption and hydrogen embrittlement of Ti alloys, cathodic polarization tests and slow strain rate tests (SSRT) under cathodic polarization were carried out. Results show titanium hydrides covered on the surface of metals and hydrides thickness were within 10μm. But hydride did not observed at inner part of metals. Ti and Ti-5%Ta did not show hydrogen embrittlement by SSRT under cathodic charging. These results suggested that Ti and Ti-5%Ta could absorb hydrogen. But hydrogen did not penetrate inner portion of the metals more than 10μm in depth because titanium hydrides act as barrier of hydrogen diffusion. It is considered that retardation of hydrogen diffusion hindered hydrogen embrittlement of Ti and Ti-5%Ta alloys. Copyright © 2013 by ASME.

  • Dissolution Behavior of α and γ Phases of a Duplex Stainless Steel in a Simulated Crevice Solution

    So Aoki, Hiroshi Yakuwa, Katsuhiro Mitsuhashi, Jun'ichi Sakai

    ECS Transactions   25 ( 37 ) 17 - 22  2010.04

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study is to clarify corrosion mechanism of a duplex stainless steel (DSS) through dissolution behavior of a ferritic phase and austenitic phase, respectively. A single phase specimen ([α] or [γ] phase specimen) which has chemical composition of each phase of a DSS was prepared by preferential dissolution of the DSS, and dissolution behavior of each phase specimen was investigated. The [α] specimen showed a less-noble corrosion potential compared to the [γ] specimen. The change of the corrosion potential of the DSS was located somewhere between those of each phase specimen. The [α] specimen showed a less-noble active peak compared to the [γ] specimen. The current density value of the DSS was located between the current values of the each phase specimen. It was clarified that corrosion mechanism of a DSS could be described through the dissolution behavior of the single phases such as α phase and γ phase.

  • Corrosion behavior of a duplex stainless steel in a simulated crevice solution

    17th International Corrosion Congress 2008: Corrosion Control in the Service of Society   2   927 - 935  2008

     View Summary

    The repassivation potential of corroding crevices of a duplex stainless steel was measured in a deaerated 3.5mass% NaCl solution according to JIS G 0592. The change of current density with time and preferential dissolution phase during anodic polarization in -370mV to +150mV (vs. SCE) potential region in a simulated crevice solution (25mass% NaCl, pH 0) were investigated. The repassivation potential of crevice corrosion depended on the holding potential and time for ensuring the propagation of crevice corrosion, and in all the cases, the preferential dissolution of ferritic phase was observed. The current density was rather steady during the potentiostatic measurement in the active peak region (-370mV to -260mV). While, it decreased with time in the active-passive transition region (-200mV to -150mV). In the passive region (0mV to +150mV), it first decreased, and then increased gradually. On the less-noble side of the active peak region, preferential dissolution occurred on the ferritic phase. On the other hand, on the noble side of the active peak region and in the active-passive transition region, it occurred on the austenitic phase. In the passive region, both phases dissolved evenly. These results suggest that the potential in the corroding crevice drops to the less-noble side of the active peak region by the IR drop mechanism. © 2009 by NACE International.

     View Summary

    We have elucidated that anomalous behavior of hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion induced by the hydrogen absorption during corrosion for high corrosion resistant alloys including stainless steel and Ni-Ti superelastic alloy by various tests such as hydrogen thermal desorption analysis and electrochemical measurements. The behavior of the alloys often differs from that of high strength steels. In particular, the dynamic interactions between hydrogen and the martensite transformation markedly affect the hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion behavior. The findings obtained in the present study are expected to the guide for the measurements of the life time and the improvements of reliability for high corrosion resistant alloys.

     View Summary

    Corrosion behavior, surface film analysis, hydrogen absorption behavior, estimation of the state of absorbed hydrogen, change of the mechanical properties, and co-reaction of these phenomena which were the results of the reaction with the alloys like alfa, alfa+beta, beta, Ni-Ti alloys and simulated oral cavity environment were investigated..
    1) Mechano-chemical reactions : Mechano-chemical reactions in the oral cavity was investigated by means of fretting corrosion fatigue tests. Corrosion environments were controlled by applied potential. At anodic potential region where passive film forms easily, the fatigue life tends to shortened. This is considered as the result of the acceleration of the dissolution of the alloy by the film brake down.
    2) Analysis of the environmental effects : Fluorides which were often used in the oral cavity acted as the corrosion accelerating agent. Corrosion behavior, hydrogen absorption behavior under the various concentration of NaF and APF solutions were studied. Applying less noble potential in NaF solution to alfa Ti resulted in increment of the absorbed hydrogen, while this phenomenon was not observed to 6-4-Ti alloy. In acidic APF solution, this alloy absorbed plenty of hydrogen under the less noble potential region. Hydrogen peroxide develops localized corrosion of Ti alloys because of its strong oxidizing capability. This event was noticeable in Ni-Ti alloy. Preferential dissolution of Ni may lead to localized corrosion.
    3) Polarization behavior : Corrosion resistance of the alloys in 0.2〜2% APF solution depends on the concentration of the solution, and higher the concentration higher the corrosiveness. Both anodic and cathodic reactions were enhanced with the concentration. Surface film properties were also depended on the concentration.
    Furthermore, most absorbed hydrogen locates in the vicinity of the surface. They are relocate as the time passage and the mechanical properties also changed with the time. Hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Ti alloys was also unveiling.

  • Corrosion behavior of carbon steels coupled to stainless steels in sea water

    Hirotaka Sato, Toru Yamaji, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   64 ( 5 ) 183 - 187  2015

     View Summary

    To evaluate the corrosion risk of offshore steel structures at submerged zone caused by stainless steel sheathing and cathodic protection failures, it is essential to grasp the degree of the carbon steel-stainless steel galvanic corrosion. The objective in this study was to clarify the effect of area ratio of stainless steel coupled to carbon steel on corrosion behavior in sea water. As a result, stainless steels promote galvanic corrosion, but the degree of accelerated corrosion was much smaller than that estimated from the area ratio. Calcareous deposits had formed on the surface of stainless steels during galvanic tests in seawater. The calcareous deposits appeared to diminish the diffusion of the dissolved oxygen and diminish the cathodic reaction of oxygen reduction on the stainless steel surface.

  • Effect of Silver Surface Temperature on Sulfide Formation Behavior in Sulfur Vapor at Constant Temperature

    Inaba Kosuke, Ishikawa Yuichi, Sakai Jun'ichi

    CORROSION ENGINEERING   64 ( 5 ) 188 - 192  2015

     View Summary

    This study was carried out to examine the effect of silver surface temperature on sulfide formation behavior in sulfur vapor at constant temperature. QCM was used to measure mass change by silver sulfide formation. In a closed glass container, flowers of sulfur, S8 were placed as a sulfur source and QCM prepared by vacuum deposition of silver was exposed. The temperature of the testing environment, T1 was controlled by an oven and the silver surface temperature, T2 was varied by an aluminum foil heater. The saturated sulfur vapor pressure p was calculated from T1 using Antoine's equation. The results showed that in the case of T1=T2, the corrosion rate increased linearly with increasing p. In the case of T1T2, at p=8.3 and 24 mPa, the corrosion rate increased with T2, while at p=2.6 mPa, the corrosion rate remained almost constant with T2. This result indicates that in this environment, natural convection generated by heating the silver surface caused the corrosion rate increased by facilitating the supply of sulfur molecules to the silver surface. The degree of natural convection (T1T2)/T1 and p determine the corrosion rate increase.

  • Creep corrosion cracking of Sn-3.0Ag and Sn-0.5Cu solder alloys in NaCl solution

    Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Akihide Nogami, Jun'ichi Sakai

    CORROSION SCIENCE   86   142 - 148  2014.09

     View Summary

    The surface crack nucleation of Sn-3.0Ag and Sn-0.5Cu solder alloys has been examined by performing sustained tensile-loading tests in 0.9 mass% NaCl solution at room temperature. For Sn-3.0Ag alloy, many cracks nucleate and propagate on the side surface of the specimen, similarly to Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu alloy reported previously. For Sn-0.5Cu alloy, such cracks are not observed, and ordinary creep deformation occurs in the solution. The effect of sustained applied stress, i.e., creep, on the dissolution of ions is smaller for Sn-0.5Cu alloy than for Sn-3.0Ag alloy. The present results suggest that there are differences in the susceptibility to cracking under applied stress in a solution, i.e., creep corrosion cracking, among lead-free solder alloys.

  • Initiation of pitting at severe crevice of titanium carbonitride/matrix boundary on ferritic stainless steels

    Akira Tsutsumiguchi, So Aoki, Tomohiro Ishii, Shin Ishikawa, Junichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   63 ( 5 ) 325 - 328  2014

     View Summary

    It has been reported that titanium carbonitrides could be a initiation site of pitting corrosion even at high corrosion resistance ferritic stainless steels such as Ti added stainless steels. However, it is hardly found any observations from the viewpoint of pre- and post-pitting corrosion related with the inclusion. Therefore, the pitting corrosion behavior in the vicinity of titanium carbonitride has not fully understood yet. The objective in this study was to clarify the inititation behavior of pitting at titanium carbonitride by means of in the test solution AFM observation under a potentiostatic condition. As a result, it was found that pitting corrosion initiated at a severe crevice which formed by polishing or rolling at titanium carbonitride/matrix boundary, with a size of several tens of nm in depth and several hundreds of nm in width. And then, the pitting corrosion grew toward depth direction of matrix side with time.

  • Effect of Temperature and Time of Wetness on Corrosion of Carbon Steel under Insulation

    Yanase Yukinori, Ishikawa Yuichi, Sakai Jun'ichi

     View Summary

    This study was carried out to clarify the effect of temperature and time of wetness on corrosion of carbon steel under insulation.<br>The specimen used was carbon steel SS400. In this test, the specimen was covered with calcium silicate insulation and heated in a temperature range from 40 to 200°C by an electric heater. Corrosion test was conducted by pouring deionized water of 25 to 50 ml into the insulation. The time of wetness on the steel surface under the insulation was evaluated using the ACM sensor.<br>The results of the corrosion test showed that corrosion was not found at temperatures above 100°C. On the other hand, corrosion occurred locally at temperatures between 40~90°C and the corrosion depth became deeper with decreasing steel surface temperature.<br>The time of wetness of the steel surface measured with the ACM sensor increased with decreasing steel surface temperature. This indicates that the increase in time of wetness on the steel surface has more significant effect on corrosion of the steel under insulation than the increase in the corrosion reactivity with increasing temperature.

  • Effect of curing temperature and phosphoric acid on corrosion resistance of mannich-modified phenolic resin on galvanized steel surface

    Ryosuke Sako, Jun'Ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   63 ( 1 ) 17 - 24  2014

     View Summary

    Phenolic resin modified by Mannich reaction with an amine was investigated as an alternative to chromate on galvanized steel surface. The corrosion resistance of the resin coating was improved with increasing of the curing temperature, furthermore also improved by addition of phosphoric acid into the resin solution. Surface free energy measurement, infrared absorption analysis, GDS analysis, XPS analysis, etc. were carried out in order to clarify the effect of curing temperature and the addition of phosphoric acid
    as the result some findings were obtained. The coating film became more hydrophobic, because cross-linking reaction proceeded with the elimination of the diethanolamine, which is the amine for modification, in curing over 160... It was revealed that the phosphoric acid included in the resin coating has been eliminated together with diethanolamine during the cross-linking reaction and it has diffused through the resin coating to form an insoluble phosphate layer at the interface between resin coating and galvanized steel. The electrochemical measurement clarified that the insoluble phosphate layer suppressed cathode reaction. reduction reaction of dissolved oxygen.

  • Characterisation of corrosion products formed on copper exposed at indoor and outdoor sites with high H2S concentrations

    M. Watanabe, M. Takaya, T. Handa, J. Sakai

    CORROSION ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY   48 ( 6 ) 418 - 425  2013.09

     View Summary

    Corrosion products formed on copper exposed indoors and outdoors at sites with high hydrogen sulphide (H2S) concentrations were characterised using several analytical techniques. The crystalline corrosion products that formed on the copper exposed indoors were chalcocite (Cu2S) and cuprite (Cu2O), while those that formed on the copper exposed outdoors were chalcocite, cuprite and basic copper sulphates. Surface analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed differences between the copper exposed indoors and outdoors that are explained by the composition, localisation and oxidation of the corrosion products. The surface morphologies of the corrosion products also differed. Elemental depth profiling by glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy revealed that the corrosion products that formed indoors were mainly chalcocite with cuprite only at and near the surface. In contrast, the corrosion products that formed outdoors were a mixture of chalcocite and cuprite. These differences in corrosion products are attributed to the differences in relative humidity during exposure.

  • Corrosion and hydrogen absorption of commercially pure zirconium in acid fluoride solutions

    Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Daisuke Yamada, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Corrosion Science   73   375 - 381  2013.08

     View Summary

    The corrosion and hydrogen absorption of commercially pure zirconium have been investigated in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutions. Upon immersion in 2.0% APF solution of pH 5.0 at 25°C, a granular corrosion product (Na3ZrF7) deposits over the entire side surface of the specimen, thereby inhibiting further corrosion. In 0.2% APF solution, marked corrosion is observed from the early stage of immersion
    no deposition of the corrosion product is observed by scanning electron microscopy. A substantial amount of hydrogen absorption is confirmed in both APF solutions by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. The amount of absorbed hydrogen of the specimen immersed in the 2.0% APF solution is smaller than that in the 0.2% APF solution in the early stage of immersion. The hydrogen absorption behavior is not always consistent with the corrosion behavior. Hydrogen thermal desorption occurs in the temperature range of 300-700°C for the specimen without the corrosion product. Under the same immersion conditions, the amount of absorbed hydrogen in commercially pure zirconium is smaller than that in commercially pure titanium as reported previously. The present results suggest that commercially pure zirconium, compared with commercially pure titanium, is highly resistant to hydrogen absorption, although corrosion occurs in fluoride solutions. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study is to clarify effect of galvanostatic condition on growth behavior and repassivation potential (E-R.CREV) of crevice corrosion of duplex stainless steels. E-R.CREV measurements, microscopic observation of corroded area, and solution pH measurements inside crevice were carried out. Under the condition of large holding current in propagation step of E-R.CREV measurements, the crevice corrosion grew from the bottom to the edge of crevice. Then, it grew towards depth direction, and the sharp corroded area formed near the edge of crevice. Solution pH inside crevice lowered easily under the condition of large holding current in repassivation step, and it induced the repassivation of corroding crevice at noble potential. It was suggested that the sharp corroded area formed near the edge of crevice under the large holding current condition contributed to lowering corrosivity of solution inside corroding crevice and the repassivation of corroding crevice at the noble potential.

Solution pH inside crevice lowered easily under the condition of large holding current in repassivation step, and it induced the repassivation of corroding crevice at noble potential. It was suggested that the sharp corroded area formed near the edge of crevice under the large holding current condition contributed to lowering corrosivity of solution inside corroding crevice and the repassivation of corroding crevice at the noble potential.

  • Fracture and corrosion behaviors of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy under sustained tensile loading in neutral fluoride solution containing hydrogen peroxide

    Atsushi Yoshida, Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Toshiaki Inaba, Kenichiro Mutoh, Jun'ichi Sakai

    JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS   544   24 - 29  2012.12

     View Summary

    The fracture and corrosion behaviors of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy have been investigated by carrying out sustained tensile-loading tests in neutral 2% NaF aqueous solutions containing various H2O2 concentrations. The times to fracture in solutions with 0.001 M, 0.01 M and 1 M H2O2 are shorter than that in a solution without H2O2. In the solution with 0.1 M H2O2, however, the time to fracture becomes long and the fractographic features are markedly changed. On the basis of the polarization behavior, corrosion is enhanced with increasing H2O2 concentration. Under an applied stress above the critical stress for the stress-induced martensite transformation, the fluctuations of corrosion potential and corrosion current density become larger than those without the applied stress. The present results suggest that the fracture and corrosion behaviors of the alloy in neutral fluoride solutions are sensitively affected by the H2O2 concentration, but the relationship between fracture and corrosion does not always straightforwardly correspond to the H2O2 concentration.

     View Summary

    Corrosion resistance and the behavior of carbon steel and alloys in high concentration ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) solutions were investigated. This study was conducted to better understand material performance in severe NH4Cl corrosive environments in refineries. Immersion tests were performed under boiling 20 wt% and 40 wt% NH4Cl solutions. Sixteen materials commonly used in refineries and two new alloys were examined, including carbon steel; aluminized carbon steel; aluminum brass; Types 405, 410, 304L, 316L, and 321 stainless steels (UNS S40500, S41000, S30403, S31603, and S32100); 300-series stainless steel with 6% Mo; two types of super duplex stainless steels; Alloys 800, 625, and C-276 (UNS N08800, N06625, and N10276); Grade 2 and Grade 19 titanium (UNS R50400 and R53530); Alloy A (equivalent to a modified Type 317L [UNS S31703] stainless steel); and a modified Alloy 825 (UNS N06845). Significant corrosion was observed in carbon steel in both solutions. The corrosion rates of carbon steel were as high as 25.4 mm/y and 60.4 mm/y in 20 wt% and 40 wt% NH4Cl solutions, respectively. However, neither general corrosion nor pitting was observed on titanium alloys and alloys with a pitting resistant equivalent number (PREN) of 40 and higher. The maximum pit depth had a close relationship with the PREN. In addition, an electrochemical study was used to investigate the corrosion behavior of carbon steel. The effects of the temperature and NH4Cl concentration were determined from polarization curves and the corrosion potential.

    This study was carried out to clarify the SCC arrest behavior at the fusion line between Alloy 182 weld and low alloy steel based metal in distilled water under high temperature and high pressure conditions. The specimen used was low alloy steel based metal overlaid with Alloy 182 weld. CBB test was conducted in the autoclave at the temperature of 288°C, the pressure of 8 MPa, the electric conductivity of introduced water with less than 10 μS/m and dissolved oxygen concentration with 8 ppm. The results of CBB test were that all cracks were arrested at the fusion line and sphere-shaped oxide on low alloy steel based metal side were found. According to the relationship between the weld thickness of Alloy 182 and the oxide size, the larger weld thickness of Alloy 182 the larger the oxides become. It suggests that the galvanic effect caused by difference of potential between Alloy 182 weld and the low alloy steel based metal may have affected the results.

  • Effect of cure temperature and phosphoric acid on corrosion resistance of phenolic resin on galvanized steel surface

    Ryosuke Sako, Jun'Ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   61 ( 10 ) 402 - 409  2012

     View Summary

    The coating film formation and the corrosion resistance of phenolic resin were examined as an alternative for chromate on the galvanizing steel sheet. The effect of cure temperature and phosphoric acid on film formation and corrosion resistance was investigated by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), surface energy measurement, and the coating film characterization by XPS and FT-IR analysis. The mechanism of corrosion resistance was estimated by the polarization measurement of the coating plate. The resin, which was in an aggregate state at 80°C, gradually became loose by thermal energy as temperature rose, and it self-cured above 130- 150°C to make the film that gives good corrosion resistance. Addition of phosphoric acid to the phenolic resin solution has improved the corrosion resistance even at 120°C that is below the original self-cure temperature. Though the mechanism of the effect of phosphoric acid is not always clear, it was found that phosphoric acid promotes the cure of the resin and enhances the insolubility to the salt water. Also, it was confirmed that phosphoric acid itself is incorporated into the coating film. It seems that these facts improve corrosion resistance.

  • Analysis of effect of flow condition on NH 4HS corrosion

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   61 ( 2 ) 56 - 63  2012

     View Summary

    Effect of flow condition on NH 4HS corrosion was studied by analysis of a corroded elbow sample and computational simulation. The thickness of corrosion products film formed on the inner surface of the elbow was measured and chemical composition of the film was analyzed using EPMA (Electron Probe Micro Analysis). In addition, flow pattern prediction and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analyses were employed. The center of the outer radius of the elbow was preferentially corroded in the sampled elbow. The film on the outer radius of the elbow was thinner than the inner radius and contained less sulfur than the inner radius. Based on three CFD models, it was found that the liquid volume fraction increased in the center of the outer radius of the elbow. Thus, corroded area was consistent with the area of high liquid volume fraction. Furthermore, a calculated wall shear stress on the outer radius was much higher than the inner radius from CFD results. Therefore, it was concluded that a protective iron sulfide film could not be formed on the outer radius due to a high wall shear stress.

  • Effects of the Hydrogen Absorption Conditions on the Hydrogen Embrittlement Behavior of Ni-Ti Superelastic Alloy

    Ken'ichi Yokoyama, Akira Nagaoka, Jun'ichi Sakai

    ISIJ INTERNATIONAL   52 ( 2 ) 255 - 262  2012

     View Summary

    The present study has investigated whether the hydrogen embrittlement behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy can be changed by modifying the hydrogen absorption conditions. Upon immersion in H2SO4 or H3PO4 solution, the stress plateau due to the stress-induced martensite transformation becomes unclear and forms a gentle slope. In addition, the superelastic strain decreases with increasing immersion time. The peripheral part of the fracture surface of the immersed specimens is flat as usual, whereas the center part of the fracture surface is rough compared with that under other hydrogen absorption conditions reported previously. For the specimens immersed in H3PO4 solution, hydrogen thermal desorption tends to be observed at higher temperatures compared with the specimens immersed in H2SO4 solution. Moreover, for a longer immersion time, a second peak of hydrogen desorption is observed at a high temperature, indicating that the hydrogen states change with the hydrogen absorption conditions. The results of this study suggest that changing the hydrogen embrittlement behavior by modifying the hydrogen absorption conditions may enable the determination of the embrittlement mechanism of the alloy.

  • Fracture of sustained tensile-loaded Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy in NaCl solution

    Corrosion Science   53 ( 10 ) 3331 - 3336  2011.10

     View Summary

    The fracture of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy has been investigated by a constant sustained tensile-loading test in 0.9. wt.% NaCl aqueous solution at room temperature. Under applied stress in the solution, many cracks nucleate and propagate on the side surface of the specimen. The fracture is not an ordinary creep rupture mode and is probably caused by the decrease in cross section of the specimen due to crack propagation. The preferential dissolution of Ag and Cu ions is clearly observed under applied stress in the solution. The time to fracture and the critical stress for fracture in the solution are lower than those in the atmosphere. The present results indicate that the reliability of lead-free solder alloys must be evaluated considering the effects of the combination of environment and applied stress. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Inhibition of hydrogen embrittlement of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in acid fluoride solution by hydrogen peroxide addition

    JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH PART A   98A ( 3 ) 404 - 411  2011.09

     View Summary

    Inhibition of the hydrogen embrittlement of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in an acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solution has been attempted by adding various amounts of H(2)O(2). In a 0.2% APF solution, hydrogen absorption is markedly inhibited by adding H(2)O(2), although corrosion is slightly enhanced by increasing the amount of added H(2)O(2). By adding a small amount of H(2)O(2) (0.001M), in the early stage of immersion, hydrogen embrittlement is inhibited and corrosion is only slightly enhanced. Upon adding H(2)O(2), it appears that the dominant cathodic reactions change from hydrogen evolution to H(2)O(2) reduction reactions, or the surface conditions of the alloy are changed by H(2)O(2) with a high oxidation capability, thereby inhibiting hydrogen absorption. The present study clearly indicates that infinitesimal addition of H(2)O(2) into acid fluoride solutions is effective for the inhibition of the hydrogen embrittlement of the alloy.

    CORROSION   67 ( 5 ) 055005  2011.05

     View Summary

    Corrosion behavior and the hygroscopic properties of solid ammonium chloride (NH(4)Cl) salt were investigated. This study was conducted to determine the root cause of significant corrosion caused by NH(4)Cl salt deposition in reactor-effluent streams in hydroprocessing units. Corrosion and water absorption tests were performed under various relative humidity (RH) conditions with solid NH(4)Cl salts using a temperature and humidity control chamber. Eight types of materials commonly used in refineries were examined, including carbon steel (UNS K02702), Type 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel, duplex (UNS S39274) stainless steel, Grade 2 titanium (UNS R50400), Alloy 400 (UNS N04400), Alloy C-276 (UNS N10276), aluminum brass (UNS C68700), and aluminized carbon steel (hot-dip aluminized UNS K02702). Significant corrosion was observed around 60% RH on all the alloys except Alloy C-276. Carbon steel corroded above 20% RH. Its highest corrosion rate was observed at 60% RH and 80 degrees C. Type 304 stainless steel and duplex stainless steel showed pitting at 50% and 60% RH. Although the metal surface on Alloy C-276 was tarnished at 50% RH, it had excellent corrosion resistance at all RH levels. It was suggested that the corrosion of NH(4)Cl is the most severe around a critical RH, above which water absorption becomes significant. In addition, based on the water absorption tests and simulation results, it was found that the critical RH of NH(4)Cl salt has a close relationship to temperature.

  • Effects of Cu Addition on Hydrogen Absorption and Diffusion Properties of 1 470 MPa Grade Thin-walled Steel in a Solution of HCl

    Shunsuke Toyoda, Hideto Kimura, Yoshikazu Kawabata, Yasuyoshi Yamane, Junichi Sakai

    ISIJ INTERNATIONAL   51 ( 3 ) 456 - 461  2011

     View Summary

    Hydrogen embrittlement is caused by the introduction of hydrogen into steel and is critical for high strength steels. To clarify the effects of the addition of Cu on the suppression of hydrogen embrittlement in a solution of HCl, hydrogen permeation tests and dynamic polarization measurements were conducted on TS 1 470 MPa grade, low-carbon martensite steels. To this end, steels containing 0.19% C, 0.2% Si, 1.3% Mn, Cr, Ti, Nb and B were prepared with and without 0.16% Cu. For comparison, ferrite and pearlite steels were also examined. The results of hydrogen permeation tests indicated that the steady-state hydrogen permeation current (J(H)) of steel containing 0.16% Cu was considerably lower than that of basic steel in 0.1 N HCl at the corrosion potential. Moreover, the J(H) of martensite steel was suppressed by the addition of Cu, and the cathode current, (i(C)) and the J(H)/i(C) were reduced. The results obtained in this study corroborated the hypothesis that the 1 or 2-mu m metallic Cu particles precipitated on the surface of the steel in a solution of HCl suppressed the cathodic reaction and the introduction of hydrogen. The hydrogen diffusion constant (D(eff)) was obtained from hydrogen permeation tests under a potential gradient. Cu addition has only small effect on D(eff) regardless of microstructure. The occupancy of trap site (n(X)) was estimated to be greater than 99% independent of Cu content and microstructure.

  • Study of NH4HS concentrating mechanism in air cooled heat exchanger tubes

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   60 ( 6 ) 304 - 311  2011

     View Summary

    Highly concentrated NH4HS causes significant corrosion. In high pressure plants such as hydrodesulfurization units operated under NH 4HS environments, leakage caused by corrosion could result in catastrophic disaster. Therefore, in the design phase, corrosion prevention techniques should be considered. In this study, based on the severe NH 4HS corrosion observed selectively in the vapor phase inside air cooled heat exchanger tubes, the NH4HS concentrating model was developed to discern the difference in NH4HS concentration between the vapor phase and the liquid phase. We elucidated that NH4HS concentration in the condensed area in the vapor phase can be much higher than the liquid phase due to the difference of the heat transfer coefficient. This result quantitatively demonstrated the cause of corrosion observed in the air cooled heat exchanger tubes. In addition, this study indicated that the design of the air cooled heat exchanger tube where NH4HS corrosion shall be concerned should consider a flow regime, air temperature or predicted NH 4HS concentration in the condensed area in the vapor phase.

  • Dissolution behavior of α and γ phases and preferential dissolution mechanism of a duplex stainless steel in a simulated crevice solution

    So Aoki, Hiroshi Yakuwa, Matsuho Miyasaka, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   60 ( 7 ) 328 - 332  2011

     View Summary

    The objectives of this study are to clarify the dissolution behavior of the ferritic phase (α phase) and the austenitic phase (γ phase) of a duplex stainless steel (DSS), and to propose a corrosion mechanism of the DSS through dissolution behavior of either the α phase or the γ phase at corrosion potential, respectively. Just a single phase specimen (α or γ phase specimen) was prepared by using selective dissolution of the DSS. The α phase showed less-noble corrosion potential compared to the γ phase, and passivated at less-noble potential. When the polarization curves of each phase are summed up, the obtained curve showed good agreement with the DSS polarization curve. The α phase of the DSS dissolved preferentially at corrosion potential. Based on these results, a preferential dissolution mechanism model of a DSS is proposed using internal polarization curves of each phase.

     View Summary

    Relationship between preferential dissolution behavior and the holding potential and its duration of the potentiostatic test of a duplex stainless steel in simulated solution inside corroding crevice was investigated. In the active region (-370, -300 and -260 mV vs. SCE), the current density decreased towards a certain value after the measurement started, then it stayed rather constant value until the end of the measurement, i.e., for 24 h. In the passive region (-200 and -150 mV), it decreased greatly towards certain values after the measurement started, then it stayed lower value until the end of the measurement. In all potential regions, current density values determined by potentiostatic tests showed about one order of magnitude lower than those of the dynamic anodic polarization curves. At the less noble potential (-370 mV) of the active region, ferritic phase preferentially dissolved, -while that of noble (-260 mV) of the active region, the austenitic phase dissolved preferentially. In the passive region, both phases dissolved evenly. These dissolution behavior were observed in the potentiostatic tests for 15 min as well as for 24 h. Chemical composition of dissolved metal ions after dissolution tests at certain potentials in the active region was also analyzed. Chemical composition of dissolved metal ions was almost same as chemical composition of a preferential dissolution phase of the specimen at each holding potential. It would appear that chemical composition of dissolved metal into crevice solution reflects to the preferential dissolution phase.

  • Effects of Cu Addition on Hydrogen Absorption and Diffusion Properties of 1 470 MPa Grade Thin-walled Steel Tube under Atmospheric Corrosion

     View Summary

    Hydrogen embrittlement is caused by the introduction of hydrogen into steel and is critical for high strength steels. To clarify the effects of Cu addition on hydrogen absorption and diffusion properties of steel under atmospheric condition, corrosion test was conducted on a 1 470 MPa grade thin-walled low carbon martensite steel tube. To this end, a martensite steel tube bearing 0.18% C, 0.4% Si, 1.5% Mn, 0.15% Cu, 0.01% Nb was prepared and compared with Cu free steel tube. As a result of EPMA mapping for the rust layer, Cu accumulated discretely on the rust/steel interface, especially in the bottom of pits of 0.15% Cu bearing steel tubes after the atmospheric corrosion test over 12 years. According to x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra, the valence of Cu in the rust layer was mainly +2 as Cu(0, OH, SO(4)). The average and maximum diffusible hydrogen content level of 0.15% Cu bearing steel was lower than that of Cu free steel after the atmospheric corrosion test. The quantity of non-diffusible hydrogen was much higher than that of diffusible hydrogen. According to diffusion calculation results, hydrogen diffusion was so rapid that the long-term corrosion hysteresis seemed to have little influence on the diffusible hydrogen content. Furthermore, the short-term corrosion hysteresis may be the main determinant of diffusible hydrogen concentration. Having regard to the fact that the valance of Cu could also be 0 as reported by Shimizu et al., an inhibition mechanism from accumulated Cu on hydrogen-induced cracking was proposed. Eluted Cu(gamma+) ions in the rust layer may precipitate as metallic Cu at the microscopic cathode during the corrosion test. As a result, the microscopic cathode becomes inactivated as an electrochemical reaction site for hydrogen. The Cu alternates between precipitates and Cu ions depending on the relative humidity, and the condensation and pH of the water in the rust layer.

  • Effects of Cu Addition on Hydrogen Absorption and Diffusion Properties of 1 470 MPa Grade Thin-walled Steel in a Solution of HCl

    ISIJ INTERNATIONAL   51 ( 3 ) 456 - 461  2011

     View Summary

    Hydrogen embrittlement is caused by the introduction of hydrogen into steel and is critical for high strength steels. To clarify the effects of the addition of Cu on the suppression of hydrogen embrittlement in a solution of HCl, hydrogen permeation tests and dynamic polarization measurements were conducted on TS 1 470 MPa grade, low-carbon martensite steels. To this end, steels containing 0.19% C, 0.2% Si, 1.3% Mn, Cr, Ti, Nb and B were prepared with and without 0.16% Cu. For comparison, ferrite and pearlite steels were also examined. The results of hydrogen permeation tests indicated that the steady-state hydrogen permeation current (J(H)) of steel containing 0.16% Cu was considerably lower than that of basic steel in 0.1 N HCl at the corrosion potential. Moreover, the J(H) of martensite steel was suppressed by the addition of Cu, and the cathode current, (i(C)) and the J(H)/i(C) were reduced. The results obtained in this study corroborated the hypothesis that the 1 or 2-mu m metallic Cu particles precipitated on the surface of the steel in a solution of HCl suppressed the cathodic reaction and the introduction of hydrogen. The hydrogen diffusion constant (D(eff)) was obtained from hydrogen permeation tests under a potential gradient. Cu addition has only small effect on D(eff) regardless of microstructure. The occupancy of trap site (n(X)) was estimated to be greater than 99% independent of Cu content and microstructure.

  • Dissolution behavior of α and γ phases and preferential dissolution mechanism of a duplex stainless steel in a simulated crevice solution

    So Aoki, Hiroshi Yakuwa, Matsuho Miyasaka, Jun'ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   60 ( 7 ) 328 - 332  2011

     View Summary

    The objectives of this study are to clarify the dissolution behavior of the ferritic phase (α phase) and the austenitic phase (γ phase) of a duplex stainless steel (DSS), and to propose a corrosion mechanism of the DSS through dissolution behavior of either the α phase or the γ phase at corrosion potential, respectively. Just a single phase specimen (α or γ phase specimen) was prepared by using selective dissolution of the DSS. The α phase showed less-noble corrosion potential compared to the γ phase, and passivated at less-noble potential. When the polarization curves of each phase are summed up, the obtained curve showed good agreement with the DSS polarization curve. The α phase of the DSS dissolved preferentially at corrosion potential. Based on these results, a preferential dissolution mechanism model of a DSS is proposed using internal polarization curves of each phase.

     View Summary

    The hydrogen absorption behaviour during acid etching for the surface modification of commercial pure Ti, Ti-6Al-4V and Ni-Ti superelastic alloys has been investigated on the basis of the surface morphology, electrochemical behaviour and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. To simulate the conventional acid etching for the improvement of the biocompatibility of Ti alloys, the specimens are immersed in 1 M HCl, 1 M H(2)SO(4) or 0.5 M HCl + 0.5 M H(2)SO(4) aqueous solution at 60 degrees C. Upon immersion, commercial pure Ti absorbs substantial amounts of hydrogen irrespective of the type of solution. In H(2)SO(4) or HCl + H(2)SO(4) solutions, the hydrogen absorption occurs for a short time (10 min). For Ti-6Al-4V alloy, no hydrogen absorption is observed in HCl solution, whereas hydrogen absorption occurs in other solutions. For NiTi superelastic alloy, the amount of absorbed hydrogen is large, resulting in the pronounced degradation of the mechanical properties of the alloy even for an immersion time of 10 min, irrespective of the type of solution. The hydrogen absorption behaviour is not necessarily consistent with the morphologies of the surface subjected to corrosion and the shift of the corrosion potential. The hydrogen thermal desorption behaviour of commercial pure Ti and Ni-Ti superelastic alloy are sensitively changed by acid etching conditions. The present results suggest that the evaluation of hydrogen absorption is needed for each condition of acid etching, and that the conventional acid etching often leads to hydrogen embrittlement.

    RBM (Risk Based Maintenance) that is a promising technique for the maintenance of aged industrial plants. The risk here is defined as likelihood by multiplication of consequence. Likelihood is decided by means of a technical module of each damage mechanism. In each technical module, there are some damage sensitivity prediction models for several environments. Technical module is needed to determine likelihood of failure, but currently, available technical module to evaluate likelihood is limited mainly for refinery and petrochemical plants. This study is targeting to construct exhaustive technical modules. As the first step, the technical module of erosion-corrosion that is strongly required from many industries is developed. In this paper, a new corrosion rate prediction model of erosion-corrosion is proposed based on published data and the modification is done using originally collected actual plant data. Finally, it is demonstrated that the new model is adequate to predict remaining life of the plant that is damaged by erosion corrosion.

    The fatigue endurance of TS 590 MPa grade low-alloy precipitation strengthened steel was numerically and experimentally examined. The microstructure was modeled using two-dimensional Voronoi polygons. Heterogeneous stress distributions were calculated using the finite element method, taking elastic anisotropy into consideration. The number of cycles before crack initiation was estimated based on the Tanaka-Mura model. By taking into account the effects of the cyclic strain of the preceding cracks, a definable macroscopic crack initiation cycle was obtained. An actual tensile and compression fatigue test was conducted on the same steel. The stress amplitude decreased as the cycle number increased. Distinct dislocation cell structure was not observed by TEM analysis. The experimental strain fatigue limit was, to some extent, lower than that of the simulation. Surface effects, specimen homogeneity, selection of slip system, and dislocation reversibility are mentioned as the probable causes for the difference.

  • Improvements in fracture properties of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide by surface modification

     View Summary

    The fracture properties of surface-modified Ni-Ti superelastic alloy are examined by a sustained tensile-loading test in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide. The surface modification of the alloy is performed by chemical etching in 35 mass% nitric acid solution at 60 °C for a long time (3 h). By modifying the surface of the specimen, many corrosion pits are formed and the surface roughness increases. When the surface-modified specimen is immersed in the test solution without applied stress, corrosion occurs over the entire specimen and the amount of dissolved nickel ions increases. Nevertheless, under applied stress, the localized corrosion leading to the fracture is inhibited and the fracture mechanism changes, thereby increasing the time to fracture. The effects of the surface modification are confirmed even under applied stress above the critical stress for martensite transformation. The present study suggests that the effectiveness of the surface modification of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy should be investigated not only without applied stress but also under applied stress. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

     View Summary

    The hydrogen absorption and thermal desorption behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy immersed in neutral NaCl and NaF aqueous solutions at 25 degrees C under an applied cathodic potential for 2 h have been systematically investigated by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. The critical potential for hydrogen absorption is independent of the type and concentration of solution. The amount of absorbed hydrogen increases with decreasing applied potential, although it is only slightly changed by the type of solution. The amount of hydrogen desorbed at low temperatures, for the alloy immersed in NaF solutions, is larger than those in NaCl solutions, suggesting that the type of solution affects the hydrogen states in the alloy. The present results indicate that for Ni-Ti superelastic alloy, compared with titanium and its alloys, the critical potential for hydrogen absorption is located in a more noble direction, and the amount of absorbed hydrogen is large in NaCl and NaF solutions. Thus, the hydrogen embrittlement of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy probably occurs more readily than those of titanium and its alloys in NaCl and NaF solutions. [doi: 10.2320/matertrans.M2009078]

     View Summary

    Cathodic currents measurements and biological analysis were conducted for type 329J4L stainless steel exposed to natural seawater for the purpose of finding a factor in microbiological promotion of crevice corrosion propagation. The cathodic current density measured at 0.2 V vs. SHE rose from values below 0.1 μA/cm 2 and became higher than 2 μA/cm 2 in summer. However, there was no obvious rise in cathodic current densities and their values were lower than 0.1 μA/cm 2 at the other seasons. 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that bacteria belonging to Genus Algibacter or Class Gammaproteobacteria were specific to biofilms on the sample with the rise in the cathodic current density above 2 μA/cm 2 in summer. The population of all kinds of bacteria did not have positive effect on cathodic currents. It is, therefore, concluded that large cathodic currents resulting in high corrosion rate are mainly induced by the action of specific bacteria, and that there is a possibility of Algibacter or Gammaproteobacteria having action to enlarge cathodic currents.

     View Summary

    The relationship between hydrogen absorption and the corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been examined by immersing the alloy in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solution with various concentrations. Upon immersion in 0.1 mass% APF solution, no hydrogen absorption is observed despite the occurrence of general corrosion. In 0.2% APF solution, slight hydrogen absorption occurs soon after immersion, and then the surface of the specimen becomes uniformly covered with a crystalline corrosion product (Na3AlF6), thereby inhibiting further hydrogen absorption. In APF solutions with concentrations higher than 0.4%, the amount of absorbed hydrogen increases with increasing concentration of APF solution and immersion time. The type and morphology of corrosion products sensitively depend on the concentration of APF solution. Upon immersion in 0.4% APF solution, crystalline and massive Na3AlF6 are observed on the Surface of the specimen. In 1.0% and 1.5% APF solutions, Na3AlF6 with a foldlike shape and granular Na3AlF6 and Na3TiF6 are observed. In 2.0% APF solution, only granular Na3TiF6 is observed. The corrosion potentials and anodic polarization curves are analogous in all APF solutions except the 0.2% and 0.4% APF solutions. In contrast, the current density of cathodic polarization curves increases with the concentration of APF solution. The results of the present study suggest that the corrosion products play an important role in the hydrogen absorption behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. [doi: 10.2320/matertrans.MRA2008481]

     View Summary

    The hydrogen embrittlement behavior induced by the martensite transformation of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy subjected to a dynamic cyclic tensile test with hydrogen cathodic charging has been investigated by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. The critical stress for the martensite transformation steeply decreases with increasing number of deformation cycles, whereas the critical stress for the reverse transformation only slightly changes. The dynamic stress-induced martensite transformation markedly enhances hydrogen absorption, compared with that of the martensite phase itself. The hydrogen concentration at the surface layer of the specimen is evaluated to be above 3500 mass ppm
    nevertheless, no fracture associated with the stress-induced martensite transformation occurs. In addition, no hardening is observed at the surface layer of the specimen despite the formation of the hydride and hydrogen enrichment. The hydrogen thermally desorbed at a low temperature markedly increases, indicating that the hydrogen states are changed by the dynamic martensite transformation. Note that interactions between hydrogen and the phase transformation are probably irreversible, although the phase transformation is reversible. The present study shows, for the first time, that the hydrogen embrittlement behavior of the alloy strongly depends on the dynamic change of the hydrogen states accompanied by the martensite transformation. © 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.

    Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technique was employed to continuously detect extremely small mass changes during corrosion of silver by sulfur vapor originated from sulfur flower as a function of temperature, RH and distance from sulfur to the silver surface. Corrosion progressed linearly with exposure time during all the tests. The corrosion rate increased as temperature rose, while no significant dependence on RH was observed. Furthermore the corrosion rate decreased markedly with increasing distance. This suggests that diffusion of sulfur vapor to the silver controls initial sulfide formation of silver. These results have led us to propose a simple corrosion test using sulfur vapor to simulate corrosion of silver during indoor exposure of electronic equipment. The test employs the two distinct characteristics of sulfur vapor test using sulfur flower. Firstly the vapor pressure of sulfur by sulfur flower varies widely with temperature resulting a wide range of sulfur concentration. Secondly the corrosion rate of silver in sulfur vapor can be controlled by varying the distance between the sulfur flower and the silver surface. Since the corrosion by sulfur vapor follows the linear kinetics similar to those found in practice as well as to provide identical major corrosion chemistry and morphology of the corrosion product, silver sulfide as in practice, we propose it to provide a reasonably reproducible, more flexible test which is much easier to handle in the laboratory than flowing multi-component gas mixtures containing hydrogen sulfide.

  • Effect of Microstructure on Torsional Fatigue Endurance of Martensitic Carbon Steel

     View Summary

    The microstructural influence of martensitic carbon steel on torsional fatigue endurance was investigated, taking into consideration the application of high strength steel electric resistance welded (ERW) tubes to automotive structural parts. The chemical composition of the base steel alloy was 0.1-0.2%C-0.2-1.5%Si-1.3-1.9%Mn-0.01%P-0.001%S-(Cr, Mo, Ti, Nb, B). Laboratory vacuum-fused ingots were hot-rolled, heated to 1023 or 1223 K in a salt bath, and then water-quenched and tempered at 473 K. Consequently, three types of microstructure, martensite (M), martensite and ferrite (M+F), and ferrite and pearlite (F+P), were prepared. Fully reversed torsional fatigue testing was conducted with 6 mm diameter round bar specimens. Torsional fatigue endurance was found to monotonously increase with increases in the tensile strength of the specimen from 540 to 1380 MPa. The martensitic single structure and the M+F dual-phase structure showed a similar level of fatigue endurance at a tensile strength of approximately 950 MPa. However, fatigue micro-crack morphology varied slightly between them. At the surface of the M+F specimen, many small cracks were observed in addition to the main crack. Conversely, in the martensitic specimen, these small cracks were rarely observed. ΔK decreasing/increasing crack growth testing with compact tension (CT)-type specimens was also conducted. Based on these experimental results, the effect of microstructure and stress level on the initiation/propagation cycle ratio is discussed. In addition to fatigue properties, some practical properties, such as low-temperature toughness and hydrogen embrittlement resistance, were also evaluated in view of actual applications for automotive structural parts.

  • Characterization of patinas that formed on copper exposed in different environments for one month

     View Summary

    The early stage of copper patination, which occurs when copper is exposed to the atmosphere, was investigated by exposing copper plates for one month in urban, rural/coastal, hot springs, suburban, and volcanic areas. The exposures experiment started in summer or autumn. The patinas that formed during the one-month exposure were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES). The XRD patterns revealed that cuprite (Cu2O) and posnjakite (Cu 4SO4(OH)6-H2O) formed on the copper exposed in all areas, except the hot springs area. This is the first report of posnjakite forming on copper exposed for one month in benign environments. The XRD pattern revealed only cuprite on the copper exposed in the hot springs area although copper sulfide (CU2S) was found in the cathodic reduction curve. The sulfur 2p XPS spectra of copper exposed in the urban, rural/coastal, and volcanic areas mainly showed a sulfate component, whereas that of copper exposed in the hot springs area showed both sulfide and sulfate components. The former reflected the formation of posnjakite
    the latter reflected the oxidation of sulfide during exposure. In contrast, the chlorine 2p XPS spectra revealed that the chlorine existed as chloride. The SEM observation revealed that the surface morphology differed between exposure sites. GDOES depth profiling analysis revealed a difference in the distributions of sulfur and chlorine in the early stage of copper patination. The sulfur was located in the upper part of the patina, whereas the chlorine penetrated the patina. The oxidized sulfur species lowered the pH of the surface electrolyte, and this accelerated the dissolution of cuprite. They also formed posnjakite, which roughened the surface. The reduced sulfur species lowered the pH of the surface electrolyte and formed copper sulfide. The chlorine dissolved the cuprite forming copper chloride complex. This changed the chlorine depth profile.

  • Formation of basic copper sulfates and chlorides during atmospheric copper corrosion

    Masamitsu Watanabe, Moribiko Matsumoto, Nobuo Kuwaki, Jun'Ichi Sakai

    Zairyo to Kankyo/ Corrosion Engineering   58 ( 9 ) 328 - 334  2009

     View Summary

    Basic copper sulfates and copper chlorides are known to form in addition to cuprite during outdoor atmospheric corrosion of copper. Among the basic copper sulfates, posnjakite is reported to form in the early stage and then transform into brochantite when during the course of exposure. In contrast, copper chlorides, such as atacamite and nantokite, are reported not to form in the early stage. Using thermodynamic data at 298 K, we have calculated the conditions under which basic copper sulfates and chlorides are deposited on the surface of exposed copper. For pos njakite, the minimum sulfate ion concentration needed for deposition was calculated to be 6.3 × 10 -4 M given a cupric ion concentration of 1 × 10-6 M and a pH of 7. The posnjakite formation found on copper exposed in summer in urban areas is reasonably explained by the observation that the sulfate ion concentration in the surface electrolyte exceeded the minimum concentration. Although the sulfate ion concentration in the surface electrolyte exceeded the minimum concentration during winter, there was no evident posnjakite formation. This is explained by the low relative humidity and the short 'time of wetness'. For atacamite, the minimum chloride ion concentration needed for deposition was calculated to be 2.5 × 10-2 M given a cupric ion concentration of 1 × 10-4 M and a pH of 7. Although the chloride ion concentration in the surface electrolyte on copper exposed in urban areas exceeded the minimum concentration needed to deposit atacamite, peaks originating from this phase were not observed. A possible explanation for this is the slow formation rate of atacamite. Posnjakite depostition was found to be predominant, particularly in winter. This is reasonable give that posnjakite is more stable than atacamite. This also explains why there was a lack of atacamite formation in the early stage of the exposure.

  • Estimating the Effects of Microscopic Stress Concentrations on the Fatigue Endurance of Thin-walled High Strength Steel

     View Summary

    The effects of microscopic surface stress concentrations on the fatigue endurance of thin-walled high strength steel were systematically estimated by numerical analysis and plane-bending fatigue tests with Schenck-type specimens, using the commercially available static implicit method FEA software I-DEAS ver. 11 for the stress distribution calculations. The microscopic stress concentration factor alpha(j), from notch depth t=50 mu m and notch root radius rho=6 mu m microscopic surface ridges, monotonously increased with increases in the roughness ridge direction, theta, from 1 to 7 in the bending mode. A fitted curve was developed for deriving the calculated stress concentration, alpha(theta), from the superposition of the principal stresses. In the twisting mode, alpha(i) varied from about 4 to 7. The theta dependency of alpha(i) was smaller than that in bending mode. The empirical rule that the specimen collection direction has a lesser effect in twisting mode fatigue was supported by the ai value. It is reported that the fatigue notch factor beta increased linearly with increases in the macroscopic stress concentration factor alpha(a) of up to 3. On the other hand, beta slowly increased with increases in alpha(i) until it exceeded about 2. This marked difference might be due to differences between their respective stress gradients, which was well described by Nisitani and Endo by using a parameter rho. A plane-bending fatigue test was performed with an artificial surface micro-groove of theta=0, 90 degrees using 590 MPa class strength circumferentially flattened electric resistance welded tube. The theta=0 degrees micro-groove had little effect on the fatigue endurance in bending. On the other hand, the fatigue cracks of all the theta=90 degrees specimens initiated at the basilar part of the micro-groove without any nonpropagating cracks. The fatigue notch factor beta seems to be determined by only alpha(i) independent of rho in the microscopic stress concentration field.

     View Summary

    NH4HS corrosion has been a serious problem in oil refining plants. The corrosion rate dramatically increases over a certain concentration of NH4HS. In high pressure plants such as hydrodesulfurization units which are operating in NH4HS environments, leakage caused by corrosion could result in catastrophic disaster. Therefore, in the design phase, corrosion prevention techniques should be considered. In this study, a new design philosophy to prevent NH4HS corrosion in a sour water environment was successfully developed based on simulation techniques.

  • Effects of acid type on corrosion and fracture behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy under sustained tensile load in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide

     View Summary

    The effects of acid on the corrosion and fracture behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy have been examined by sustained tensile-loading test in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide. For immersion test without applied stress at the same solution pH, although corrosion is enhanced markedly irrespective of the type of acid added, corrosion morphology depends on the type of acid added. The amount of dissolved nickel ions increases in the order of the solutions with lactic acid &gt; phosphoric acid &gt; acetic acid. The amount of dissolved nickel ions increases with decreasing solution pH. In contrast, under applied stress, the time to fracture in the solution with phosphoric acid becomes longer than that in the solution without acid, although the time to fracture does not increase in the solution with acetic acid or lactic acid. The time to fracture is only slightly affected by solution pH for the same type of acid added. Fractographic features change in the solution with phosphoric acid. The present study suggests that the fracture behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide depends on acid type rather than on solution pH; the fracture behavior is not necessarily consistent with the corrosion behavior in the case without applied stress.

Silver sulfide was the only corrosion product identified during all the tests. Corrosion progressed linearly with time and the corrosion rate did not depend on humidity, but depended markedly on the temperature and the volume of rubber contained, In addition, it is clarified that the corrosion rate varies according to the types of rubber and even among various chroloprene products. Thus it is considered that the corrosion behavior of silver with vulcanized rubber is determined by the concentration of the sulfur gas species outgassed from the rubber. The free sulfur in the rubber is assumed to be the source. It may be suggested that the outgassing of sulfur gas is determined by diffusion of sulfur molecule Sx (x = 2-8) in the rubber and this diffusion process determined the corrosion rate of silver.

    The susceptibility to hydrogen absorption and hydrogen thermal desorption of titanium alloys has been investigated in a neutral 2.0% NaF solution at 37 degrees C under various applied cathodic potentials. Ti-0.2Pd, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn alloys absorb hydrogen under less noble potentials than -1.5 V, -1.9V and -1.4V versus it saturated calomel electrode, respectively. The amounts of absorbed hydrogen of Ti-0.2Pd, Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn alloys under an applied potential of -2.0 V for 24 h are approximately 1200, 100 and 1100 mass ppm, respectively. Upon immersion in the 2.0% NaF solution under an applied potential, the hydrogen thermal desorption behavior of Ti-0.2Pd alloy differs from those immersed in acid fluoride Solutions, whereas the hydrogen thermal desorption behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn alloys are similar to those immersed in acid fluoride solutions. The present results indicate that in a neutral fluoride solution. the effects of an applied potential on the hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V alloy are considerably smaller than those of commercial pure titanium reported previously, Ti-0.2Pd and Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn alloys.

     View Summary

    The effects of electrochemical potential, solution temperature and pH on the hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviors of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy immersed in 0.9% NaCl solution for 2 h have been investigated systematically by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. For hydrogen cathodic charging under constant applied potential, upon increasing solution temperature, the critical potential for the hydrogen absorption very slightly shifts to a noble direction. As solution pH decreases, the critical potential for the hydrogen absorption shifts markedly to a noble direction and approaches to the corrosion potential; the critical current density for the hydrogen absorption slightly decreases. At a less noble potential than the critical potential for the hydrogen absorption, the amount of absorbed hydrogen increases markedly with decreasing applied potential. For hydrogen cathodic charging under constant current density, the amount of absorbed hydrogen increases with increasing Solution temperature and decreasing solution pH. The basic hydrogen desorption behavior only slightly depends on solution temperature or pH. Nevertheless, hydrogen desorption at low temperatures for specimens subjected to cathodic charging under constant Current density is observed distinctly as compared with that under constant applied potential.

     View Summary

    The effects of electrochemical potential, solution temperature and pH on the hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviors of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy immersed in 0.9% NaCl solution for 2 h have been investigated systematically by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. For hydrogen cathodic charging under constant applied potential, upon increasing solution temperature, the critical potential for the hydrogen absorption very slightly shifts to a noble direction. As solution pH decreases, the critical potential for the hydrogen absorption shifts markedly to a noble direction and approaches to the corrosion potential; the critical current density for the hydrogen absorption slightly decreases. At a less noble potential than the critical potential for the hydrogen absorption, the amount of absorbed hydrogen increases markedly with decreasing applied potential. For hydrogen cathodic charging under constant current density, the amount of absorbed hydrogen increases with increasing Solution temperature and decreasing solution pH. The basic hydrogen desorption behavior only slightly depends on solution temperature or pH. Nevertheless, hydrogen desorption at low temperatures for specimens subjected to cathodic charging under constant Current density is observed distinctly as compared with that under constant applied potential.

    MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING A-STRUCTURAL MATERIALS PROPERTIES MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROCESSING   476 ( 1-2 ) 308 - 315  2008.03

     View Summary

    The hydrogen thermal desorption behavior of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy subjected to tensile deformation after hydrogen charging has been investioated. Cathodic hydrogen charging is performed with a current density of 10A/m(2) in a 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution for 2h at room temperature (25 degrees C). In this case, hydrogen desorption is observed from room temperature to 400 degrees C. For the specimen immediately after hydrogen charging. upon tensile loading covering the stress plateau region caused by stress-induced martensite transformation followed by unloading, hydrogen that desorbs at low temperatures (approximately 150 degrees C) is observed markedly. In contrast, for the specimen aged for 240h at room temperature in air after hydrogen charging, most hydrogen that desorbs at low temperatures shifts to a higher-temperature region and diffuses toward the center of the specimen, although the charged hydrogen does not diffuse out. Variation in hydrogen desorption behavior is rarely observed, even upon tensile loading in the plastic deformation region of the martensite phase followed by unloading. The present results suggest that dynamic processes such as stress-induced martensite and reverse transformations affect hydrogen desorption behavior at low temperatures of hydrogen-charged Ni-Ti superelastic alloy.

  • Effect of Cu addition on delayed fracture resistance of low carbon steel for 1470 MPa grade electric resistance welded tube

     View Summary

    The effect of chemical composition on delayed fracture resistance, taking into consideration the application of a 1470 MPa grade thin-wall as-rolled electric resistance welded (ERW) tube to automotive structural parts, was investigated. Chemical composition of the base steel alloy was 0.18%C-0.4%Si-1.8%Mn-0.015% Nb-0.01%P-0.001%S. Cu, Ni, Cr, B and Mo were individually added to the base steel. A 4-point bending test in 1 N-hydrocrolic acid was conducted for quench and tempered specimens. Cu added steel showed the best delayed fracture resistance. After the immersion, a metallic Cu layer was formed on the steel surface. Based on the results of the 4-point bending test, several kinds of 1470 MPa grade ERW steel tubes were prepared and evaluated for their delayed fracture resistance. Cu added steel tubes showed excellent delayed fracture resistance in a cyclic corrosion condition with salt water spray, as well as in hydrocrolic acid. Cu accumulation on the rust-steel interface was observed by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). An atmospheric corrosion test lasting 12 years was also conducted. Delayed fracture resistance as evaluated by (a) an immersion test in hydrochloric acid, (b) a cyclic corrosion test with salt water spray, and (c) an atmospheric corrosion test, showed good correlation with each other. Based on the results above, two models are proposed for the mechanism of delayed fracture suppression by Cu addition: (1) Cu suppressed cathodic reaction and hydrogen entry at sulfide inclusion, and (2) Cu suppressed hydrogen entry by stabilization of sulfuric-ions as an insoluble compound.

     View Summary

    In order to explain the mechanism that works in microbiologically influenced enhancement of corrosion rates, cathodic currents were measured on type 329J4L stainless steel exposed to seawater, and a biological analysis on biofilms was conducted. The cathodic current densities measured at 0.1 V vs. SHE were ranging from 0.3 μA/cm2 to 3 μA/cm2, after the specimen had been held at 0.1 V vs. SHE in natural seawater. On the other hand, the cathodic current densities at 0.1 V vs. SHE after the exposure to natural seawater under an open circuit condition, were higher than 1 μA/cm 2 in the early stage of the measurement. However, they fell to values lower than 0.1 μA/cm2 in 12 h. The current densities measured at 0.2 V vs. SHE were approximately 2 μA/cm2 in the initial stages and the final stages of the measurement, after the beforehand exposure to natural seawater at 0.2 V vs. SHE. The current densities measured at 0.2 V vs. SHE after the beforehand exposure to natural seawater under an open circuit condition, were higher than 1 μA/cm2 in the initial stages of the measurement and lower than 0.1 μA/cm2 in the final stages. In the case of measurements at 0.3 V vs. SHE, the average values of cathodic current densities were approximately 0.2 μA/cm2 after the beforehand exposure to natural seawater at 0.3 V vs. SHE, and lower than 0.01 μA/cm 2 after the beforehand exposure to natural seawater in an open circuit state. The cathodic current densities after the exposure to synthetic seawater, were lower than 0.01 μA/cm2 in the cases of measurement at 0.1 V vs. SHE, 0.2 V vs. SHE and 0.3 V vs. SHE. The data on DNA base arrangement detected by the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis test in a biofilm formed at 0.2 V vs. SHE in natural seawater, was different from the data detected in a biofilm formed under an open circuit condition. It is, therefore, concluded that some specific types of microorganisms selectively attach to steel surfaces under cathodic conditions, and that such microorganisms are the cause of large cathodic currents resulting in high corrosion rates.

    MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING A-STRUCTURAL MATERIALS PROPERTIES MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROCESSING   466 ( 1-2 ) 106 - 113  2007.09

     View Summary

    The hydrogen embrittlement of a Ni-Ti superelastic alloy aged at room temperature (25 degrees C) in air after hydrogen charging is examined using tensile test and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis (TDA). Cathodic hydrogen charging is performed at a current density of 10 A/m(2) for 6h in 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution at room temperature. For the specimen immediately after hydrogen charging, tensile fracture occurs near the critical stress for martensite transformation without stress-induced martensite transformation. Hydrogen thermal desorption is observed from room temperature to 400 degrees C. Charged hydrogen exists within approximately 50 mu m from the surface of the specimen. Hydride formation is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In contrast, the specimens aged at room temperature after hydrogen charging fracture during or after stress-induced martensite transformation. The amount of hydrogen desorbed at low temperatures (room temperature to 200 degrees C) decreases. Charged hydrogen diffuses toward the center part of the specimen, and some charged hydrogen diffuses out in the early stage of aging at room temperature. In addition, no XRD peaks corresponding to hydrides are detected. The present results suggest that aging at room temperature in air after hydrogen charging changes the distribution and state of hydrogen in Ni-Ti superelastic alloy, thereby leading to a partial recovery of the tensile properties of the alloy.

  • Fracture of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy under sustained tensile load in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide

    JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH PART A   82A ( 3 ) 558 - 567  2007.09

     View Summary

    The fracture of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy has been investigated by a sustained tensile-loading test in physiological saline solution containing hydrogen peroxide (0.15M NaCI + 0.3M H2O2). The fracture always occurs when the applied stress exceeds the critical stress for martensite transformation. In contrast, under a low applied stress, the fracture does not always occur within 1000 h. The fracture is probably mainly caused by localized corrosion associated with the preferential dissolution of nickel ions. In 0.3M H2O2 solution without NaCl, the fracture does not occur even under a high applied stress. The results of the present study imply that one reason for the fracture of the Ni-Ti super-elastic alloy in vivo is localized corrosion due to the synergistic effects of hydrogen peroxide and sodium chloride under applied stress.

    The effects of potential on the hydrogen absorption and desorption of commercial pure titanium immersed in neutral 2.0% and 0.2% NaF solutions for 24 h have been investigated by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. Hydrogen absorption occurs in both solutions under less noble potentials than -1.2 V versus a saturated calomel electrode. The amount of absorbed hydrogen increases with decreasing applied potential. Under the same applied potential, the amount of hydrogen absorbed in the 2.0% NaF solution is larger than that in the 0.2% NaF solution. Hydrogen thermal desorption is observed in the temperature range from 250-300 to 700 degrees C. For the 2.0% NaF solution, compared with the 0.2% NaF solution, the amount of hydrogen desorbed in the high temperature range is large. The hydrogen desorption behavior for neutral NaF solutions under the applied potential is not necessarily consistent with that for acidulated phosphate fluoride solutions without the applied potential reported previously.

    Hydrogen absorption of biomedical titanium and Ni-Ti alloys in a neutral fluoride (2.0% NaF) solution for up to 10,000 h at 37°C has been evaluated by means of hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. For α titanium (commercial pure titanium), the amount of absorbed hydrogen was, at most, 10-30 mass ppm, and the corrosion product and hydride formation were revealed on the surface of the specimen by X-ray diffraction analysis. Ni-Ti superelastic alloy absorbed ∼150 mass ppm of hydrogen, which was probably sufficient to result in the pronounced degradation of the mechanical properties, although corrosion was hardly observed. In contrast, hydrogen absorption of α-β titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) and β titanium (Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn) alloys was negligible, although general corrosion was observed. The results of the present study indicate that the susceptibility of titanium and Ni-Ti alloys to hydrogen absorption in the neutral fluoride solution is different from that in the acidic fluoride solution reported previously. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    The effects of moisture (H2O concentration) and dissolved oxygen in methanol and ethanol solutions containing 0.1% hydrochloric acid (HCl) on hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviors of the Ni-Ti superelastic alloy have been examined by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. In the methanol solution, the amount of absorbed hydrogen decreases with increasing H2O concentration. For 5% H2O, the thermal desorption peak of hydrogen gradually shifts from 400 to 250 degrees C with immersion time. When the H2O concentration is higher than 10%, the hydrogen absorption is not observed. Under a deaerated condition, significant dissolution of the specimen due to corrosion is observed; however, the increment in the amount of desorbed hydrogen is not observed. In the ethanol solution, the critical H2O concentration for hydrogen absorption is approximately 0.8%. For 2% H2O, the hydrogen absorption is not exhibited, although slight corrosion is observed. The amount of absorbed hydrogen under the deaerated condition is ten times more than that under the aerated condition. The dissolved oxygen varies the hydrogen desorption behavior.

    The hydrogen absorption properties of Ti-0.2 mass% pd (Ti-0.2Pd) alloy in 2.0% and 0.2% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) and neutral 2.0% NaF solutions (25 degrees C) has been evaluated by hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. During the early stage of immersion (120 h) in the 2.0% APF solution, the amount of absorbed hydrogen was lower than 500 mass ppm. A thermal desorption of hydrogen primary appearing with a peak at 500-600 degrees C and a broad desorption ranging from 100 to 400 degrees C were observed. In the 0.2% APF solution, the amount of absorbed hydrogen saturated at 100-200 mass ppm; the thermal desorption of hydrogen appeared with a single peak at 550 degrees C. In the 2.0% NaF solution, hydrogen absorption was negligible even after 1000 It of immersion, although corrosion pits were observed. The results of the present study suggest that the hydrogen absorption of Ti-0.2Pd alloy, as compared with commercial pure titanium, is suppressed in fluoride solutions. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

  • Susceptibility to delayed fracture of alpha-beta titanium alloy in fluoride solutions

    K Yokoyama, T Ogawa, K Asaoka, J Sakai

    CORROSION SCIENCE   47 ( 7 ) 1778 - 1793  2005.07

     View Summary

    The susceptibility to delayed fracture of the alpha-beta titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V has been investigated in acidic and neutral fluoride solutions at room temperature. The time to fracture decreased with increasing applied stress in 2.0% and 0.2% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutions at pH 5.0. The time to fracture in the 2.0% APF solution was shorter than that in the 0.2% APF solution, although at an applied stress higher than 1000 MPa, the times to fracture were almost the same in both the solutions. For immersion in the 0.2% APF solution, when the applied stress was lower than 700 MPa, delayed fracture did not occur within 1000 h. The fracture surface of specimens immersed in the 2.0% APF solution exhibited brittleness associated with hydrogen absorption, while that in the 0.2% APF solution was ductile and characterized macroscopically as having a cup-cone morphology. The amounts of hydrogen absorbed in 2.0% and 0.2% APF solutions for 24 h were approximately 200 and 30 mass ppm, respectively. As the immersion time increased, the amount of hydrogen absorbed in the 2.0% APF solution increased, whereas that in the 0.2% APF solution hardly increased. In neutral 2.0% and 0.2% NaF solutions, the delayed fracture did not occur within 1000 h, although general corrosion was observed. These results indicate that the susceptibility to delayed fracture of alpha-beta titanium alloy, compared with those of the alpha titanium and beta titanium alloy reported previously, is low in acidic and neutral fluoride solutions.

  • Distribution and thermal desorption behavior of hydrogen in titanium alloys immersed in acidic fluoride solutions

    JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS   396 ( 1-2 ) 269 - 274  2005.06

     View Summary

    The distribution and thermal desorption behavior of hydrogen in alpha titanium (commercial pure titanium) and beta titanium alloy (Ti-11.3Mo-6.6Zr-4.3Sn) immersed in acidic fluoride solutions (pH 5.0 +/- 25 2 degrees C) have been investigated. For alpha titanium, most of the hydrogen absorbed in the fluoride solution existed as titanium hydride within approximately 50 mu m from the surface of the specimen. The local hydrogen concentration in the vicinity of the surface was evaluated above 5000 mass ppm. Hydrogen thermal desorption was observed in the temperature range from 200 to 700 degrees C. It is likely that the desorption at a low temperature resulted from the dissociation of the hydride, whereas that at a high temperature was caused by hydrogen strongly trapped in matrix defects induced by hydride formation. For the beta titanium alloy, the absorbed hydrogen diffused toward the center of the specimen without hydride forming. Hydrogen was almost uniformly distributed over the whole cross-section of the specimen, although hydrogen content was high at the surface layer of the specimen. Hydrogen desorption appeared in the range from 400 to 600 degrees C, implying that the absorbed hydrogen was mostly hydrogen in solution. The corrosion product (TiF3) on the surface of the specimen caused the desorption temperature to rise more than 100 degrees C, suggesting the origin of the scatter of desorption behavior.

    MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING A-STRUCTURAL MATERIALS PROPERTIES MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROCESSING   393 ( 1-2 ) 239 - 246  2005.02

     View Summary

    The hydrogen embrittlement of the Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in ethanol solution containing 0.1 mass% hydrochloric acid (HCl) has been investigated using a tensile test (after immersion) and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis (TDA). Upon immersion, the alloy absorbed substantial amounts of hydrogen associated with localized corrosion. The maximum amounts of absorbed hydrogen after immersion for 120 and 600 h were 260 and 1200 mass ppm, respectively. The hydrogen thermal desorption of the immersed specimens appeared as two peaks at approximately 150 and 350 degreesC. As immersion time increased, the amount of desorbed hydrogen at the lower temperatures increased markedly. When the amount of absorbed hydrogen exceeded 200-400 mass ppm, a marked reduction in tensile strength occurred. The fracture mode of specimens that absorbed hydrogen changed from ductile behavior to brittle behavior; the peripheral parts of the fracture surface exhibited a quasi-cleavage-like topography. The hydrogen embrittlement characteristic of the Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in ethanol solution containing 0.1% HCl was not always in accordance with those of the same alloy in other solutions such as the methanol solution containing 0.1% HCl reported previously.

     View Summary

    Hydrogen embrittlement of work-hardened Ni-Ti alloy has been examined in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutions. Upon immersion in a 2.0% APE solution with a pH of 5.0, tensile strength decreased markedly with immersion time. Moreover, the fracture mode changed from ductile to brittle due to brittle layer formation at the peripheral part of the cross section of the specimen. The amount of absorbed hydrogen increased linearly with immersion time, and it reached above 5000 mass ppm after 24 h. The hydrogen desorption temperature of the immersed specimens shifted from 450degreesC to a lower temperature with immersion time. As the amount of absorbed hydrogen was larger than 500 mass ppm, the degradation of mechanical properties was recognized. Although the tensile properties and fracture mode scarcely change in a 0.2% APF solution, the slight reduction in hardness and hydrogen absorption of several hundreds mass ppm were observed. The results of the present study imply that work-hardened Ni-Ti alloy is less sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement compared with Ni-Ti superelastic alloy. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Hydrogen absorption of titanium in acidic fluoride solutions

    MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING A-STRUCTURAL MATERIALS PROPERTIES MICROSTRUCTURE AND PROCESSING   384 ( 1-2 ) 19 - 25  2004.10

     View Summary

    Hydrogen absorption of commercial pure titanium in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutions of various concentrations has been examined by hydrogen thermal-desorption analysis. In immersion in the 2.0% APF solution of pH 5.0 at 25degreesC, the amount of absorbed hydrogen increased with immersion time and then saturated at approximately 800-900 mass ppm. During the early stage of the 24 h immersion, the amount of hydrogen absorbed in the 0.2% APF solution was almost the same as that in the 2.0% APF solution, i.e., 200 mass ppm, whereas it saturated at 300 mass ppm with longer immersion time. For the specimen immersed in the 2.0% APF solution for 24 h, hydrogen desorption was observed with a peak at approximately 550degreesC. As the immersion time increased, the second desorption appeared in the range from 150 to 400degreesC. In contrast, for the specimens immersed in the 0.2% APF solution, the desorption peak temperature tended to shift from 550 to 450degreesC with immersion time. Hydrogen absorption was hardly observed in the specimen immersed in the 0.02% APF solution. The concentration of the APF solutions also affected the type of corrosion product and the surface topography of the immersed specimens. The results of the present study clearly indicate that the degradation of the mechanical properties or fracture of titanium caused by hydrogen absorption occurs in acidic fluoride solutions.

  • Degradation in performance of orthodontic wires caused by hydrogen absorption during short-term immersion in 2.0% acidulated phosphate fluoride solution

    ANGLE ORTHODONTIST   74 ( 4 ) 487 - 495  2004.08

     View Summary

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the degradation in performance of four major alloys of orthodontic wires, namely nickel-titanium, beta titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium-nickel, caused by hydrogen absorption during short-term immersion in an acid flouride solutions. The hydrogen-related degradation of orthodontic wires after immersion in 2.0% acidulated phosphate fluoride solution at 37degreesC for 60 minutes was evaluated by a tensile test, scanning electron microscope observation, and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. Upon immersion, the tensile strengths of the nickel-titanium and beta titanium wires decreased. Particularly, the nickel-titanium wire fractured before yielding, and the fracture mode changed from ductile to brittle. The amounts of absorbed hydrogen in the nickel-titanium and beta titanium wires were 200 and 100 mass ppm, respectively. On the other hand, the tensile strengths of the stainless steel and cobalt-chromium-nickel wires were only slightly affected by immersion. The results of this study suggest that degradation in performance of orthodontic wires of titanium alloys occurs because of hydrogen absorption even after a short-term immersion in fluoride solutions.

     View Summary

    Hydrogen absorption behavior of a beta titanium alloy in acid fluoride solutions has been analyzed by hydrogen thermal desorption. The amount of absorbed hydrogen increased with immersion time in a 2.0% acidulated. phosphate fluoride (APF) solution. In the case of an immersion time of 60 h, the amount of absorbed hydrogen exceeded 10000 mass ppm. In contrast, the amount of hydrogen absorbed in the 0.2% APF solution was several times smaller than that in the 2.0% APF solution for the same immersion time. For immersion in a 0.2% APF solution, hydrogen absorption saturated after 48 h. The surface topography and corrosion products on the surface of the specimen immersed in the 2.0% APF solution were different from those in the 0.2% APF solution. During the later stage of immersion, the amount of absorbed hydrogen markedly increased under higher applied stress, although the applied stress did not enhance hydrogen absorption during the early stage of immersion. These results of hydrogen absorption behavior are consistent with the delayed fracture characteristics of the beta titanium alloy. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    ACTA MATERIALIA   52 ( 6 ) 1675 - 1682  2004.04

     View Summary

    Four types of zirconia ceramic, Ce-TZP, 3Y-TZP. 8Y-FSZ and Mg-PSZ, were heat treated in hydrogen gas. Only Ce-TZP was very effectively reduced after the heat treatment. The drastic weight loss and the increase of internal friction, which were observed in the reduced Ce-TZP, were due to the high number of oxygen vacancies introduced into the matrix. The various mechanical properties of Ce-TZP before and after the heat treatment were investigated. Sufficient reduction effectively increased the hardness but unfortunately also embrittled the sample. The serious increase in embrittlement could not be attributed to the hydrogen introduced into the matrix, but was due principally to the low transformability of the reduced Ce-TZP. On the other hand, the anelastic property of the reduced Ce-TZP was considerably improved by the increase in oxygen vacancies and, furthermore, the tensile fracture strength was influenced due to the fact that anelasticity occurs instead of phase transformation.

  • Delayed fracture of Ni-Ti superelastic alloys in acidic and neutral fluoride solutions

    JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH PART A   69A ( 1 ) 105 - 113  2004.04

     View Summary

    Hydrogen-related degradation of the mechanical properties of a Ni-Ti superelastic alloy has been examined by means of delayed fracture tests in acidic and neutral fluoride solutions and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. Delayed fracture took place in both solutions; the time to fracture was shorter in the acidic solutions than in the neutral solutions with the same fluoride concentration. The time to fracture was reduced in both solutions when applied stress exceeded the critical stress for martensite transformation. In the acidic solutions, Ni-Ti superelastic alloy underwent general corrosion and absorbed substantial amounts of hydrogen. Fractographic features suggested that the delayed fracture in the acidic solutions was attributable to hydrogen embrittlement, whereas in the neutral solutions, a different fracture mode appeared associated with localized corrosion only in the vicinity of the fracture initiation area. In the neutral solutions, the amount of absorbed hydrogen was much less than that in the acidic solutions, and the delayed fracture was likely to be induced by active path corrosion accompanying hydrogen absorption. The results of the present study imply that the hydrogen-related degradation of performance of Ni-Ti superelastic alloys occurs in the presence of fluoride. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Fracture of the Ni-Ti superelastic alloy for endodontic instruments such as files was investigated with a sustained tensile-loading test in sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution of various concentrations. It was found that the time to fracture was reduced when the applied stress exceeded the critical stress for martensite transformation. When the applied stress was higher than the critical stress, the 0.3 mm diameter wires of the Ni-Ti superelastic alloy sometimes fractured within 60 min. From the results of observations of the fracture surface using a scanning electron microscope, it was revealed that the fracture of the Ni-Ti superelastic alloy is significantly influenced by corrosion when the applied stress was higher than the critical stress for martensite transformation. The results of the present study suggest that one of the causes of the fracture of Ni-Ti files during clinical use is corrosion under the applied stress above the critical stress for martensite transformation in NaOCI solution.

It was found that the fracture of titanium occurred in neutral 2.0% NaF solution as well as in 2.0% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solution. The time to fracture decreased with increasing applied stress in both 2.0% APF and 2.0% NaF solutions. In the case of the same applied stress, the time to fracture in the 2.0% APF solution was shorter than that in the 2.0% NaF solution. General corrosion was exhibited on the side surface of the tested specimens. The formation of sodium titanium fluoride was observed on the surface of the immersed specimens in the 2.0% APF solution. Hydrogen desorption of the tested specimen in the 2.0% APF solution was observed with a peak at approximately 600degreesC. The amount of absorbed hydrogen was &gt;300 mass ppm in the 2.0% APF solution under an applied stress for 24 h. The results of the present study imply that applying stress to titanium by immersing in fluoride solutions leads to the degradation of its mechanical properties. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

     View Summary

    Degradation of tensile strength of a Ni-Ti superelastic alloy due to hydrogen absorption has been studied in methanol solution containing 0.1 mass % hydrochloric acid (HCl). The amount of absorbed hydrogen from the solution was measured by thermal desorption analysis (TDA). Hydrogen desorption of immersed specimens appeared in the temperature range from 100 to 600 degreesC. The amounts of absorbed hydrogen of immersed specimens were in the range of 50-500 mass ppm when immersed in the solution for 8-120 h. Tensile strength of immersed specimens decreased abruptly up to immersion time of 24 h. In the immersion time range from 24 to 120 h, the tensile strength was coincident with the critical stress for martensite transformation. It was concluded that the degradation of tensile strength of a Ni-Ti superelastic alloy is caused by hydrogen absorption in methanol solution containing HCl. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

     View Summary

    Hydrogen embrittlement of Ni-Ti superelastic alloy in a fluoride solution (0.2% APF) has been investigated by means of a tensile test (after immersion) and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. Upon immersion, the tensile strength of the alloy decreased to the critical stress level of martensite transformation. Hydrogen desorption of the immersed specimens appeared with a peak at around 500°C. The amount of absorbed hydrogen in the alloy ranged from 100 to 1000 mass ppm when immersed in the fluoride solution for 2 to 24 h. The immersion in the fluoride solution led to the degradation of mechanical properties due to hydrogen embrittlement. The results of the present study imply that one reason that Ti and its alloys fracture in the oral cavity is the fact that hydrogen is absorbed in a fluoride solution, such as prophylactic agents. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

     View Summary

    Hydrogen embrittlement of a beta titanium orthodontic wire has been examined by means of a delayed-fracture test in acid and neutral fluoride aqueous solutions and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. The time to fracture increased with decreasing applied stress in 2.0% and 0.2% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutions. The fracture mode changed from ductile to brittle when the applied stress was lower than 500 MPa in 2.0% APE solution. On the other hand, the delayed fracture did not occur within 1000 h in neutral NaF solutions, although general corrosion was also observed similar to that in APE Solutions. Hydrogen desorption of the delayed-fracture-tested specimens was observed with a peak at approximately 500degreesC. The amount of absorbed hydrogen was 5000-6500 mass ppm under an applied stress in 2.0% APF solution for 24 h. It is concluded that the immersion in fluoride solutions leads to the degradation of the mechanical properties and fracture of beta titanium alloy associated with hydrogen absorption.

    Materials Science and Engineering A   341 ( 1-2 ) 91 - 97  2003.01

     View Summary

    The susceptibility of Ni-Ti superelastic alloys to hydrogen embrittlement has been examined by means of a delayed-fracture test and hydrogen thermal desorption analysis. It was found that the time to fracture was drastically reduced when the applied stress exceeded the critical stress for martensite transformation. In the applied stress range lower than the critical stress, the time to fracture lessened in the order of instability of the alloys to undergo reversible martensite transformation. Hydrogen thermal desorption of specimens subjected to delayed-fracture test is classified into two types according to the applied stress level. The amount of desorbed hydrogen was markedly increased when the applied stress was higher than the critical stress. It was concluded that Ni-Ti superelastic alloys transformed to martensite are sensitive to environmental conditions accompanying accelerated hydrogen embrittlement. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

     Ni-Ti超弾性合金は優れた耐食性、生体適合性を有しており、医療分野でも利用される機会が多くなっている。しかし、生体内環境や、口腔内環境は金属材料にとって苛酷な環境であり、損傷事例も報告されている。歯科矯正用ワイヤーも期待寿命より短期間で破損している。このような現象を例に予備調査を進めた。Ti合金は環境因子の感受性が高いが、口腔内での腐食現象に影響を与える環境因子は十分には解明されていない。環境因子として腐食現象の結果として生体液から発生し、合金内に侵入する水素イオンに着目し、その材質劣化への影響を検討した。Ni-Tiワイヤーに応力負荷条件下で水素イオンを陰極チャージし、材料履歴とチャージ量とを因子として水素脆性感受性を調査した。水素添加定荷重試験において破断までの時間はマルテンサイト変態誘起応力に依存する事が明らかとなった。応力誘起変態後は環境因子の影響を受けやすく材質の劣化が促進される事が考えられる。超弾性特性に着目した材質的変化と環境因子との相関に着目した研究を進める必要があろう。
