It is assumed that the hydrogen is uniformly distributed throughout a part.<\/p>\n<p>The method does not measure actual hydrogen concentration. However, oxidation current densities measured against time provide a useful indication of relative hydrogen concentrations and, therefore, the measurements can be used for comparison purposes. The method may be used as a quality control procedure as it does provide a quick means of measuring the effectiveness of pre- and\/or post-plating heat treatments or of monitoring hydrogen uptake during plating or due to corrosion.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the absence of failure in a particular test does not provide confirmation of complete elimination of hydrogen embrittlement because no one test method can provide all the data necessary to evaluate the degree of hydrogen degradation.<\/p>\n<p>For unplated parts the method is non-destructive; however, for plated parts the coating has to be removed prior to measurement by a means proven not to damage the steel or to introduce hydrogen.<\/p>\n<p>This test method is limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>carbon and alloy steels, excluding austenitic stainless steels (see note&nbsp;1);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>flat specimens to which the cell can be attached (see note&nbsp;2);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>measurements at room temperature (25&nbsp;\u00b0C&nbsp;\u00b1&nbsp;1&nbsp;\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>NOTE&nbsp;1 If this method is used for austenitic stainless steels and other face centred cubic (FCC) alloys, measurement times and interpretation of results will have to be determined because of the different kinetics involved.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>NOTE&nbsp;2 For slightly curved surfaces it is essential to define an area that is reproducible. The area calculation will be different from that described in this International Standard.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>NOTE&nbsp;3 The method can be applied to small parts, however, this necessitates some modification of the technique, procedure and interpretation of results.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>PDF Catalog<\/h4>\n<table border=\"1px\" class=\"des-table\">\n<tr>\n<th>PDF Pages<\/th>\n<th>PDF Title<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>3<b><\/td>\n<td>Metallic and other inorganic coatings\ufffd\u2014 Electrochemical measurement of diffusible hydrogen in ste&#8230;  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>5<b><\/td>\n<td>Contents Page  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>6<b><\/td>\n<td>Foreword  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>7<b><\/td>\n<td>Introduction  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>9<b><\/td>\n<td>Metallic and other inorganic coatings\ufffd\u2014 Electrochemical measurement of diffusible hydrogen in ste&#8230; <br \/> 1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Scope <br \/> 2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Normative references  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>10<b><\/td>\n<td>3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Principle <br \/> 4\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Reagents <br \/> 4.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Electrolyte <br \/> 4.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Methyl alcohol <br \/> 4.3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Ethyl alcohol  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>11<b><\/td>\n<td>5\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Apparatus <br \/> 5.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The barnacle electrode system <br \/> 5.1.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd cell <br \/> 5.1.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd gasket <br \/> 5.1.3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd cell holder  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>12<b><\/td>\n<td>5.1.4\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd anode <br \/> 5.1.5\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd cathode <br \/> 5.1.6\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd a current measuring device  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>13<b><\/td>\n<td>5.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Microscope <br \/> 5.3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Nylon cleaning pad <br \/> 6\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Test specimens <br \/> 7\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Calibration <br \/> 7.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Calibrate the Ni\/NiO electrode ( <br \/> 7.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Charge the Ni\/NiO electrode using a platinum, or similar, inert electrode as the cathode a&#8230; <br \/> 7.3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Calculate the cell contact area outlined by the gasket as follows. <br \/> 7.4\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Measure the background current density by using uncoated specimens containing no hydrogen,&#8230; <br \/> 8\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Procedure <br \/> 8.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Specimen preparation <br \/> 8.1.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The procedure for preparation of the specimen for testing depends on whether it is plate&#8230;  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>14<b><\/td>\n<td>8.1.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd For unplated specimens, abrade the surface lightly with an aluminium oxide impregnated n&#8230; <br \/> 8.1.3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd For plated specimens with post-plating heat treatment (see <br \/> 8.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Cell assembly <br \/> 8.2.1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The time to assemble the cell and the commencement of measurement shall take no longer than <br \/> 8.2.2\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Clamp the cell to the specimen just tightly enough to prevent leakage (see <br \/> 8.2.3\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Insert the Ni\/NiO electrode in the centre of the cell cavity.
