    摘要: To easily detect a crack having occurred in a steel material. A current measurement device measures a value of a current flowing through a target steel material that is immersed in an electrolyte aqueous solution and applied with tensile stress while subjected to hydrogen charging, and a device for detecting the occurrence of a crack or the like uses the measured current value to determine the occurrence of a crack in the target steel material when the amount of change in the current flowing through the target steel material, the change rate of the amount of change in the current, or the change rate of the change rate of the amount of change in the current exceeds a threshold value. The device for detecting the occurrence of a crack or the like determines the occurrence of a crack in the steel material when the change rate of the change rate of the amount of change in the current is less than a negative value of an absolute value of the threshold value, and determines the occurrence of fracture in the steel material when the change rate exceeds the absolute value of the threshold value.

    摘要: A test time for measuring hydrogen diffusion in a steel material is improved. The reproducibility of a position where hydrogen exists in the steel material is improved. A control terminal controls a solution supply/discharge control device, a gas supply control device, a first potentiostat/galvanostat, and a second potentiostat/galvanostat on the basis of a predefined procedure, so that a plurality of processing steps, which are performed for analyzing hydrogen diffused from the inside to the surface of a steel material to be measured, are performed continuously. Further, the processing of inactivating the surface of the steel material to be measured is performed before the main processing using a metal ion replacement method, or an inert gas is injected into the solution during the main processing.
