Methods of detecting hydrogen stress corrosion cracking and its protection in tribochemical environments

摘要

Objectives: Development of techniques to investigate the hydrogen stress corrosion cracking and to valid solutions in both water and oil lubricated conditions Background: Tribocorrosion or tribochemical attack becomes an increasing important issue in contact mechanics and mechanical engineering as many critical failures could be attributed by the mechanism, such as in oil industry and windturbine applications. Hydrogen stress corrosion cracking is one of the major failure mechanisms in the tribochemical attack. Research techniques to measure the process of hydrogen stress corrosion cracking are crucial for understanding the mechanism and more importantly to verify solutions.
