An alternative to such tests is the automated ball indentation test (ABI test) designed to determine the dependence of stress on plastic deformation of metallic materials and structural elements. The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of the technique developed for plotting a stress-strain diagram using large spherical indenters (of 250–1500 μm in diameter) for work with a microspherical indenter with a diameter of 5 μm. The use of such an indenter makes it possible to study small-sized material samples, from which it is impossible to prepare samples for a standard uniaxial tensile experiment. The indenter of small diameter is used to study individual phases of heterogeneous materials and grain boundaries as well as thin films, coatings, and surface layers of the sample. In this study, the shape of the obtained imprints on the surface of the samples is examined both by a noncontact method using confocal optical 3D-profilometry and by a contact method using atomic-force microscopy. The noncontact method, as it has a higher speed, is used to determine the grain sizes of alloys; the contact method, as it has a higher lateral resolution, is used to measure the diameter of imprints. A series of experiments are carried out on tensile testing of alloys on a universal testing machine and on indentation of samples made from the same alloys. The values of elastic moduli and temporary resistances of the V95, VT1, and VT6 alloys are obtained, which coincide within the error limits in two different experiments. Stress-strain diagrams are plotted experimentally using instrumental indentation and analysis of the geometry of residual imprints when using a spherical tip made of a single crystal diamond with a small radius of curvature (of 2.5 μm).</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"61 1-6","pages":"262 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method is proposed to determine the concentrations of Pb and Cd in seawater samples using a Zeeman electrothermal atomic absorption (ETAA) spectrometer with a tantalum ballast inside a rapidly heated graphite furnace without preliminary sample preparation and/or without adding chemical modifiers. The experiments involved seawater samples from the Baltic and Black Seas and samples of a model seawater solution with a salinity of 35 g/L. When a graphite furnace is heated, sample vapors condense on the surface of a relatively cold ballast. This is followed by re-evaporation into a heated analytical cell when the ballast is heated by radiating furnace walls. The shift of the atomization process to the region of a steady-state and high furnace temperature, as well as decreasing background absorption during atomization, help reduce the chemical and spectral matrix influence on the analytical signal. The standard addition method adapted to the spectrometer conversion function is used to compensate for the element assay bias. The analytical and metrological parameters of the technique have been established: the characteristic masses are 2.2 pg for Pb and 0.17 pg for Cd. The characteristic concentrations are 0.44 μg/L for Pb and 0.034 μg/L for Cd, respectively. The detection limits are 0.20 μg/L (Pb) and 0.02 μg/L (Cd).

However, in the case of deformation-free brittle destruction, it is not possible to make an adequate forecast based on the results of regulated technical control. One of the sources of such destruction is hydrogen embrittlement. To solve the problem of forecasting without large-sized cuttings from the walls of the equipment, a comparison is made between the mechanical properties of samples cut out of the walls of a destroyed petrochemical reactor after long-term operation and samples made of a sheet of the same steel grade and saturated with hydrogen using the cathodic polarization method to the same concentration that are measured in the walls of the studied reactor. The thickness of the metal sheet, which the walls are made of, is equal to the thickness of the sheet from which the model samples are obtained. The samples were cut out along and across the rolling direction. Comparative studies of the behavior of identical model and “operational” samples are carried out taking into account the development of operational damage, the direction of cutting out of standardized samples for mechanical isothermal tests, and the curing time of samples after hydrogenation. A regulated calculation of the residual life of a reactor is carried out on the basis of mechanical characteristics of samples cut out of it. A fundamental difference in the mechanical characteristics of model and operational samples is discovered. The strength and yield strength values of the model samples do not change, while those cut out of the reactor are 30% less than the initial ones. This difference does not allow the use of model samples saturated with the cathodic polarization to predict hydrogen degradation of steel elements of petrochemical equipment. The insufficiency of the nondestructive testing methods regulated in technical diagnostics is shown since they do not take into account the possibility of the formation of deformation-free hydrogen cracking of the equipment walls. It is shown that the methodology for the regulated calculation of the residual service life carried out during the examination based on both the actual strength properties of the samples and the mechanical characteristics of model hydrogenated samples cut in different directions relative to the rolling direction requires revision.</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"61 1-6","pages":"299 - 311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
