Influence of hydrogen on the long-term strength of tire steels

Materials Science Aims and scope

Abstract

We establish that the time to fracture of specimens made of 8Mn−8Ni−4Cr steel decreases in tap water at high stresses by a factor of 2.5 and, in the course of electrolytic hydrogenation, by a factor of 35–50 as compared with that obtained in tests in twice-distilled water. The use of a hardening surface treatment and protective coatings under the same conditions increases the long-term strength by a factor of 1.5–2. A combined plasma Al+V2O5 coating with subsequent soaking with epoxy compound preserves the plastic characteristics of steel and, hence, increases the time to fracture in the best way. The application of plasma nitride (TiN+CrN+NbN) coatings on the thread and mounting surfaces of elements of a rotor shroud unit gives them a high hardness and resistance to dripping and scoring and prevents the penetration of hydrogen-containing media into the base.
