Operation under high temperature and high pressure hydrogen is unavoidable in heavy oil desulfurization equipment in oil refineries, coal liquefaction, and gasification industries. However, in steel materials exposed to the above environment for a long time, a phenomenon of deterioration of the material called hydrogen corrosion occurs, which is an important problem for safe operation. Microscopically, this is a phenomenon in which carbides in the steel react with hydrogen that has eroded into the steel, producing methane gas valves at the grain boundaries, and macroscopically, it is a phenomenon in which methane gas valves occur at grain boundaries, and mechanical gas valves suddenly appear after a latent period peculiar to the material. It is characterized by deterioration of properties.

Detecting the occurrence of hydrogen corrosion in pressure vessel materials in advance is extremely important from the standpoint of safe operation. However, until now there has been no method for detecting hydrogen attack in advance, and the current situation is that it is only known that hydrogen attack has occurred when mechanical properties deteriorate.

On the other hand, based on empirical examples of accidents caused by hydrogen corrosion, Nelson diagrams have been created that relate the time until hydrogen corrosion occurs (the period during which safe operation is possible), hydrogen pressure, and temperature for each material. , which serves as a guideline for pressure vessel design and maintenance. However, the Nelson diagram is unreliable, as accidents have been reported even in the safe area indicated by the Nelson diagram, and it has been found that the time it takes for hydrogen corrosion to occur varies greatly even for the same steel type. came. In order to accurately predict the lifespan of a pressure vessel, it is necessary to conduct tests on the pressure vessel material itself (with the same charge and heat treatment).

This figure shows the hydrogen diffusion coefficient at room temperature when steel is subjected to a long-term exposure test in a high-temperature, high-pressure hydrogen gas atmosphere at a pressure of 300 atm and a temperature of 600°C, and changes in absorbed energy at 0°C in a Charpy impact test.

These figures show that in materials subjected to high-temperature, high-pressure hydrogen treatment, the hydrogen diffusion coefficient significantly decreases before the absorption energy decreases due to hydrogen attack, and this phenomenon can be used to prevent material deterioration due to hydrogen attack. It can be seen that detection is possible.

The reason for this decrease in the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in high-temperature, high-pressure hydrogen-treated materials is thought to be that the fine methane gas voids generated by the reaction between carbides in the steel and hydrogen become trap sites for hydrogen and inhibit hydrogen diffusion. It will be done. It is thought that the mechanical properties deteriorate only when the methane gas voids further grow and coalesce into large cracks.

(A) Calculation method of hydrogen diffusion coefficient D using indirect method (1-1) Permeation method As shown in Figure 3, hydrogen gas or a mixture of hydrogen gas and inert gas is applied to one side of a plate-shaped sample with a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm. Flow the mixed gas. A part of the hydrogen penetrates into the sample and after a certain period of time comes out on the hydrogen extraction side. The time change in the amount of hydrogen gushing out per unit time is measured using a gas analyzer, pressure change using a U-shaped tube, etc. In addition, in Fig. 3, 1 is the sample, 9 is the hydrogen charge side, 1

Next, the measured value of the temporal change in the amount of hydrogen gushing is plotted with the logarithm of time on the horizontal axis. If there are no problems such as sample contamination or hydrogen leakage,
The plot of the measured values has the same shape as in Figure 4.
The diffusion coefficient D can be calculated by superimposing the measured curve and the theoretical curve and finding the relationship between τ (=Dt/L 2 ) and time t when they match. For example, J/J =
Read the time t 0.5 at which the value becomes 0.5 from the measured curve.
According to the theoretical curve, the value τ 0.5 for J/J = 0.5 is 0.1405, so D can be found from the relationship τ 0.5 = Dt 0.5 /L 22 = 0.1405.

(1-2) Cathode charge transmission method One side of a plate-shaped sample with a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm is plated with a thin layer of palladium or nickel to increase hydrogen ionization efficiency, and the sample is set as shown in Figure 5, and galvanized. Connect to a stat and a potentiometer. In addition, the fifth
In the figure, 1 is a sample, 2 is an electrode, 3 is a standard electrode, 4 is a galvanostat, 5 is a potentiostat, 6 is a recorder, 7 is a hydrogen charging liquid, and 8 is a hydrogen extraction liquid. Apply NaOH+NaCN solution or
Fill with electrolytic charge liquid such as H 2 SO 4 + AS 2 O 3 , and fill with NaOH solution on the hydrogen extraction side. Next, when a constant current is applied to the galvanostat, hydrogen is generated by an electrolytic reaction on the sample surface, and some of it diffuses through the sample and gushes out on the hydrogen extraction surface (plated surface). On the hydrogen extraction side, if you apply a more constant potential with a potentiostat between the sample and the standard electrode (about -100 to +200mv potential where corrosion current does not flow in steel materials), hydrogen will gush out to the extraction surface. Hydrogen is ionized and flows through the solution, reaching the electrodes. Therefore, by recording the current change between the sample and the electrode with a recorder, it is possible to know the time change in the amount of hydrogen permeation. The amount of hydrogen permeation after the start of hydrogen charging shows a time change as shown in FIG. 4, and the amount of hydrogen gushing can be read back using the current. The subsequent analysis is the same as that for the transmission method in (1).

The pressure vessel has an almost constant temperature and hydrogen partial pressure, and an amount of hydrogen C 0 corresponding to the hydrogen partial pressure is dissolved in solid solution on the surface of the pressure vessel. The amount is 0. During this period, the amount of hydrogen solid solution is proportional to the distance from the outer surface, and the amount J of hydrogen gushing out into the hydrogen trapping jig per unit time is constant. If the solid solution amount C 0 of hydrogen on the inner surface of the pressure vessel is known, the diffusion coefficient D can be determined from the following equation using the diffusion equation from the measured value of the hydrogen gushing amount.

FIG. 7 shows the measurement method using the direct method described in (2) above. A hydrogen trapping jig 11 made of austenitic stainless steel and having two stainless steel pipes with valves is attached to the outside of the pressure vessel 12. Although the attachment method is not particularly limited, it is important that the collected hydrogen gas does not leak into the atmosphere, and attachment by welding is preferable.

Hydrogen that has permeated the wall of the pressure vessel 12 from the inside 13 of the pressure vessel gushes out into the hydrogen collection jig 11. Since the amount of hydrogen gushing out per unit time is proportional to the hydrogen diffusion coefficient, the hydrogen diffusion coefficient can be calculated from the measurement of the gushing amount. The hydrogen that has come out is introduced into the gas analyzer through a stainless steel pipe 15 having a valve 14 or a stainless steel valve 17 having a valve 16.

When using a gas mass spectrometer, hydrogen may be introduced into the analyzer using He as a carrier gas. That is, He gas is introduced into the hydrogen collection jig 11 through the pipe 15 and mixed with the hydrogen gas that has permeated through the wall of the pressure vessel 12 and seeped out. The mixed gas is led into the analytical instrument through pipe 17 and analyzed.

If the detection sensitivity of the gas analyzer is not very high, it is recommended to store hydrogen gas for a certain period of time and then measure it. First, the pipe 15 is connected to a vacuum pump, the valve 14 is opened, and the inside of the hydrogen collection jig 11 is evacuated. Then, the valves 14 and 16 are closed to collect hydrogen for a certain period of time. After a sufficient amount of hydrogen has been collected, the valve 16 is opened and the hydrogen gas is introduced into the analyzer to measure the amount of hydrogen gushing out.

Figures 8 and 9 show changes in the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in a pressure vessel operated at a temperature of 450°C and a hydrogen partial pressure of 150 atm. Figure 8 shows the hydrogen diffusion coefficient at room temperature measured by the cathodic charge permeation method after placing a small test piece obtained at the same charge as the pressure vessel material into the pressure vessel, exposing it, and taking it out (indirect method). . FIG. 9 shows the results of measuring the hydrogen diffusion coefficient when a collection device was attached to the outer wall of the pressure vessel and the pressure vessel was shut down to room temperature. From these figures, it was observed that the hydrogen diffusion coefficient decreased after 70,000 hours of operation. When we observed the structure of the small test piece after 70,000 hours of exposure, we found that
As shown in the 400x micrograph in Figure 0, voids that were thought to be methane bubbles due to hydrogen erosion were observed at some grain boundaries.
