Hardness Variations on a Hydrogenated Tin Brass Heat Exchanger

Tin brass heat exchanger tube was hydrogen charged under different cathodic charging conditions. The introduction of charged hydrogen into tin brass tube was found to induce hardening on its surface. The severity and the depth of the hardened region was observed to increase with either cathodic current density or charging time. Ageing after charging results in either complete or partial recovery of hardness, depending on the charging conditions applied to heat exchanger tube.
