Attempting to tackle the widespread phenomenon of hydrogen embrittlement in the metal industry, Bruker are the only manufacturer to offer fully integrated ONH solutions combining the benefits of multiple dedicated systems without any analytical compromise or technical limitations. Uniquely, these systems also provide an optional tailor-made mass spectrometer, enabling extremely low detection limits for hydrogen and argon which is critical in preventing hydrogen embrittlement.
Hydrogen embrittlement, also referred to as hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), can result in material failure, particularly in high-strength steels. Diffusible hydrogen is the primary factor responsible for the loss tensile strength due to HIC. Consequently, accurately determining the amount of diffusible hydrogen is essential for effective process and quality control.
Bruker G8 GALILEO and G4 PHOENIX systems have been proven to provide fast and accurate results for measuring diffusible hydrogen in metals. To find out more, please see the application note below.
Utilises carrier gas warm extraction to rapidly and automatically determine diffusible hydrogen in a wide variety of matrices.
