The Metalworking technology Institute, Aimme, has initiated a study to determine the susceptibility of the components that make up a screw to guarantee to the Spanish industry integrity and strength of these metal parts.
The project, funded by the Impiva, will focus on the analysis of the embrittlement by hydrogen, a phenomenon very prominent because of its frequency and the amount of faults in service that can generate in the metal products thatthey work on a daily basis, all the companies. During the investigation, the Institute has proven that the screws can be highly resistant but also can become susceptible to absorption of hydrogen due to the tiny size of this chemical element and the ease with which moves by the metal of the screw.
