(See Informative reference Figure 1). After 2h, take out the test piece, immediately polish its surface by washing it with 10 % sulfuric acid or, in the case of a round bar 25 mm or under in diameter, bend it with an inside radius twice the diameter to about angle 15° and then examine the degree of cracking. Informative reference Fig. 1 Test piece Desiccator ‘Aumonia water of 11.8 % or over20. H 3250-1992 (2) Method B Cut out the test piece 75 mm or over in length from a rod, immerse it in mercurous nitrate solution for 15 min, and then examine the degree of cracking. The mercurous nitrate solution to be used shall contain 100 g of mercurous nitrate and 13 ml of nitric acid (a epecific gravity of 1,42) per Liter hereto. 5.6 Hydrogen embrittlement test The hydrogen embrittlement test shall 7 be conducted By heating the tese piece in hyérogen gas current at 850 + 25°C for: 30 min followed by polishing and etching, and then examined by means of a microscope of 75 to 200 magnifications. 6. Inspection The inspection shall be carried out as follows: (2) Rode shall be inspected on appearance and dimensions in addition to ro the tests conforming to the requirements of 5., and their results Y shall comply with the specifications of 3. and 4.
