Effect of Hydrogen on the Microhardness of Tin Brass Heat Exchanger Tube

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tin Brass Heat Exchanger Tube Was Hydrogen-Charged under Various Cathodic Charging Conditions. the Introduction of Charged Hydrogen into Tin Brass Tube Was Found to Induce Hardening of its Surface. the Severity and the Depth of the Hardened Region Was Observed to Increase with either Cathodic Current Density or Charging Time. Ageing after Charging Results in either Complete or Partial Recovery of Hardness, Depending upon the Charging Conditions Applied to the Heat Exchanger Tube.
