What is BS EN 2831 - Hydrogen embrittlement of steels about?

BS EN 2831 is an international standard that discusses the technical specifications of products of steel.

BS EN 2831 specifies the test method by slow bending, which is used to assess the hydrogen embrittlement of steels during chemical or electrolytic surface treatments for aerospace applications.

Who is BS EN 2831 - Hydrogen embrittlement of steels for?

BS EN 2831 on Hydrogen embrittlement of steels is relevant to:

Steel industries
Quality assurance personnel
Electrochemical engineers
Metallurgical engineers and metallurgists
Mechanical engineers
Testing authorities
Aeronautical engineers  
Aerospace engineers  
Aerospace and defence industries

Why should you use BS EN 2831 - Hydrogen embrittlement of steels?

A bending test is a method of testing materials for their bending strength and other important and relevant properties.

BS EN 2831 assists you to conduct the slow bending test for the assessment of the hydrogen embrittlement of steels. It covers the apparatus used i.e., the characteristics of the bending test machine used for carrying out the test.

BS EN 2831 describes the test method and procedure, which helps you to verify the recovery of the initial ductility during de-embrittlement treatments.

BS EN 2831 helps you with knowing the bending angle prior to chemical or electrolytic treatment, bending angle after surface treatment, and bending angle after de-embrittlement.

Overall, BS EN 2831 is useful as it provides guidance on the test by slow bending for hydrogen embrittlement of steel which can be beneficial for your business.
