Abstract

Abstract

An extensive investigation on chemical element, fracture surface and so on was conducted into these broken bolts. The investigation showed that the broken bolts resulted from hydrogen-brittleness, high-hardness, high-strength and residual hydrogen. In order to improve the quality of bolts, the supplier changed the design model, improved the surface treatment method, and decreased the strength of bolts. The bolts after 2ndimprovement satisfied the requirements for safety operation.
