摘要：

In the past two decades, reports of the premature failure of cable bolts used in the mining and civil industries have been increasing. Previous studies have established that failure occurs through hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking (HISCC), which is a type of environmentally assisted hydrogen cracking. However, to date, the cause of HISCC has been unclear. For the first time, we studied the role of microorganisms in the failure of cable bolts using components present in SCCaffected mines. Stressed coupons were prepared from the cable bolt wires and tested in groundwater with additions of sulphate-reducing bacteria, coal, clay, pyrite and lactate. It was found that hydrogen sulphide (H2S) produced by sulphate- and sulphur-reducing bacteria promoted hydrogen diffusion into the steel and, in the presence of stress, caused HISCC. This suggests that control of H2S production should be a priority for mining and civil industries to avoid premature failure of anchoring systems.
