Abstract
In this paper, the frequent breakage of high-strength torsional shear bolts used in steel structure of a 2×350MW thermoelectric unit in northwest China is taken as an example. By means of macro and micro fracture analysis, physical and chemical inspection, the causes of frequent breakage of high-strength bolts are analyzed and the improvement measures are put forward. The results show that the failure of the 20MnTiB steel high-strength bolt after assembly is hydrogen embrittlement fracture, and the main cause of the failure is the presence of zinc layer on the bolt surface and a large number of zinc microholes on the shallow surface.
