چکیده انگلیسی
This paper describes the failure analysis of propeller blade fastening bolts made from martensitic stainless steel 0Cr16Ni5Mo, which was ruptured under service of cathode protection for 5 years. The general crack pattern of the bolts, fractographic features, hydrogen content determination and slow tensile test results are all exhibiting the characteristics of hydrogen embrittlement. Accordingly, hydrogen diffusion driven by hydrogen concentration gradient and stress concentration was identified by experiment and finite element analysis (FEA). The morphology of the crack was intergranular of initiation from bolt cap root surface, and quasi-cleavage of propagation. The hydrogen distribution indicated that the hydrogen concentration in the bolt was in gradient distribution, and the region farther away from the sea water contains less hydrogen content. This revealed that hydrogen entered the bolt top surface through sea water under cathodic protection, and diffused from top to cap. The hydrogen content of the cap where crack initiated was 7.0 ppm, which was much higher than that in bolt shaft with normal content of 1.1 ppm. Results of low tensile test together with fractographic observation showed that the brittleness of the bolt was enhanced by the effect of hydrogen. Stress distribution calculated by FEA analysis indicated that the maximal stress of the bolt was about 1016 MPa, located at cap root surface which was consistent with crack initiation sites. The stress drove hydrogen to accumulate at root surface until cracking occurred. In a sum, the failure was attributed to the hydrogen diffusion, local high stress, and the martensitic microstructure susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. Remedial measures such as avoiding over protection potential, that increase tempering temperature were suggested. Methods to optimize stress distribution of the bolt were also suggested based on FEA calculation.
