Welding and allied processes - Determination of hydrogen content in arc weld metal

ISO 3690:2011 specifies the sampling and analytical procedure for the determination of diffusible hydrogen in martensitic, bainitic, and ferritic steel weld metal arising from the welding of such steels using arc welding processes with filler metal. The techniques specified in ISO 3690:2011 include collection of diffusible hydrogen via displacement of mercury or collection into a headspace filled with an inert gas such as argon. The amount of hydrogen collected is determined by measuring the displaced volume in the former and by, for example, thermal conductivity in the latter. The temperature for collection of diffusible hydrogen is controlled to avoid thermal activation of non-diffusible hydrogen.

Welding and allied processes - Determination of hydrogen content in ferritic steel arc weld metal

<p> La présente Norme internationale spécifie le mode opératoire d'échantillonnage et d'analyse pour la détermination de l'hydrogène diffusible et résiduel dans le métal fondu ferritique résultant du soudage d'aciers ferritiques avec des procédés de soudage à l'arc avec métal d'apport. La captation de l'hydrogène sur mercure est la méthode de référence. A condition que les dimensions de l'éprouvette soient maintenues dans les limites imposées par la taille de l'assemblage d'essai, les variations des paramètres de soudage sont autorisées afin d'étudier leurs influences sur la teneur en hydrogène de la soudure. Les techniques décrites dans la présente Norme internationale constituent une méthode de référence qu'il convient d'utiliser en cas de litige. </p>
