@conference{10902/11946, year = {2016}, month = {3}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/11946}, abstract = {In the present study, a new small punch test (SPT) methodology has been used to analyse the effect of hydrogen embrittlement on the tensile properties of three different grades of CrMoV steel: the base metal (CrMoV-1), weld metal (CrMoV-2) and this same weld metal subjected to an intermediate heat treatment (CrMoV-3). SPT results were compared with those obtained in standard tensile tests carried out in a hydrogen environment. Moreover, a new SPT methodology was used to analyse the environmental effects on a CrNiMn steel under cathodic protection and cathodic charge. Results obtained shows the usefulness of the SPT to estimate the grade of deterioration induced by hydrogen embrittlement, especially when a lack of testing material makes impossible the test of standard specimens.}, organization = {The authors of this paper would like to thank the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitivity for the support received for the development of the research project MAT2011-28796-C03: "Metodologías para la caracterización de materiales metálicos en condiciones ambientales adversas mediante ensayos Small Punch".}, publisher = {Secretaría del Grupo Español de Fractura}, publisher = {Anales de mecánica de la fractura 33, 2016 147-152}, title = {Small punch test methodologies for the analysis of the hydrogen embrittlement of structural steels}, author = {García, T.E. and Arroyo Martínez, Borja and Rodríguez, C. and Belzunce, F.J. and Álvarez Laso, José Alberto}, }
