Corrosion resistance solution-annealed specimens is evaluated compared to as received by potentiodynamic polarization test...

The main objective of the work was to describe laboratory methods suitable for hydrogenation free-cutting steels.Furthermore, study hydrogen embrittlement 11SMn30 steel.Hydrogenation and subsequent mechanical testing hydrogenated steel is not a common method as it requires precise expensive equipment time-consuming dangerous highly reactive explosive.Currently, several theories mechanisms steels causes material degradation by hydrogen.However, those are universally valid; individual accounts...

The service life of components is related to surface abrasion, corrosion effects, as well the occurrence fatigue cracks. These effects begin spread from and therefore it very important properly influence mechanical properties materials increase life. In chemical-thermal treatment, resistance layer increased by saturating with suitably selected chemical elements.
