摘要
The kinetics of crack growth for an AISI 4340 steel (tempered at 477 K) have been determined as a function of pressure at room temperature and as a function of temperature at hydrogen sulfide pressures of 0. 133 and 2. 66 kPa. At the lower pressure, the rate of crack growth is controlled by the rate of transport of hydrogen sulfide to the crack tip. At the higher pressure, crack growth is controlled by the rate of diffusion of hydrogen into the steel ahead of the crack tip. Embrittlement results from hydrogen produced by reactions of hydrogen sulfide with the steel.
