Determining Hydrogen in Reactive & Refractory Metals with RHEN602

One of the most critical chemical specifications of Titanium Alloys is the Hydrogen content. High Hydrogen content can cause hydrides to precipitate, leading to embrittlement and subsequent cracking when stressed. LECO RHEN Hydrogen Determinators utilize an electrode furnace, Argon carrier gas, and thermal conductivity detection, to meet the analytical needs of the ferrous, refractory, and inorganic material industries. The RHEN602 has the added ability to differentiate between surface and bulk Hydrogen when analyzing Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys.
