Summary for slow bend test for hydrogen embrittlement Discussion
The focus keyphrase, slow bend test for hydrogen embrittlement, comes from a question about EN 2831:1993 and whether anyone knows the method and equipment needed to run it. The poster says they have searched several U.S. test equipment makers, but none recognize the specification or the apparatus, and notes that Airbus requires it. No answer text is included in the excerpt, so the thread provides only the original request and no practical guidance, vendor names, or alternative methods. The key takeaway is that the user is looking for a very specific hydrogen-embrittlement bend test under an Airbus-required European specification, but the excerpt does not show a solution or confirmation of available equipment.
Q. Specification EN 2831:1993 Slow Bend Test for Hydrogen Embrittlement.
Is anyone familiar with this test method and the equipment needed to run the test. I have searched many test equipment makers in the USA but none are familiar with the method/equipment.
Specification is required by Airbus.
