Hardness levels above ________ are highly susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking (HF). Time-to-failure decreases as the hardness increases.
Hardness levels above ________ are highly susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking (HF). Time-to-failure decreases as the hardness increases.
Hardness levels above 237 BHN are highly susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking (HF). Time-to-failure decreases as the hardness increases because harder materials are more brittle and have a higher likelihood of internal fractures when exposed to hydrogen, reducing their durability and resistance to stress cracking.
Susceptibility to Hydrogen Stress Cracking in HF Acid increases with increasing hardness. Steels with hardness levels above HRC 22 (HB 237) are highly susceptible.
