The effects of tungsten (W) additions (0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1 wt.%) on the hydrogen embrittlement behaviour of microalloyed steels were systematically investigated by means of slow strain rate tests on circumferentially notched cylindrical specimens, and the mechanism of hydrogen-induced embrittlement was discussed. W addition is found to increase the activation energy of hydrogen desorption. Micros...

in this paper, effect of hydrogen diffusion on 2.25cr-1mo steel with ferritic-bainitic and martensitic microstructure has been investigated. hydrogen embrittlement of this steel was investigated by doing experimental such as delayed fracture and slow strain rate tests. result of this research was showed that the steel with martensitic  microstructure strongly affected by hydrogen diffusion and ...

The chemomechanical degradation of metals by hydrogen is widely observed, but not clearly understood at the atomic scale. Here we report an atomistic study of hydrogen embrittlement of grain boundaries in nickel. All the possible interstitial hydrogen sites at a given grain boundary are identified by a powerful geometrical approach of division of grain boundary via polyhedral packing units of a...

in this paper, the hydrogen embrittlement of the high strength cr-si spring steel with after zn-12%ni electroplating, have been evaluated. slow strain rate test with 3.34 × 10 -6 sec -1 strain rate was performed, and the hydrogen embrittlement index of the different samples was calculated. the effect of shot peening before plating and the baking after plating and also the effect of applying a n...

Hydrogen embrittlement of metals is widely observed, but its atomistic origins remain little understood and much debated. Combining a unique identification of interstitial sites through polyhedral tessellation and first-principles calculations, we study hydrogen adsorption at grain boundaries in a variety of face-centered cubic metals of Ni, Cu, γ-Fe, and Pd. We discover the chemomechanical ori...

The study on temper embrittlement and hydrogen embrittlement of a test block from a 3Cr1Mo1/4V hydrogenation reactor after ten years of service was carried out by small punch test (SPT) at different temperatures. The SPT fracture energy Esp (derived from integrating the load-displacement curve) divided by the maximum load (Fm) of SPT was used to fit the Esp/Fm versus-temperature curve to determ...

Hydrogen diffusion is the main problem for corrosion fatigue in corrosive environment. In order to analyze the phenomenon, it is needed to understand their behaviors specially the hydrogen behavior during the diffusion. So, Hydrogen embrittlement and prediction its behavior as a main corrosive part of the fractions, needed to solve combinations of different equations mathematically. The main po...

P. Vaňová, J. Sojka. VŠB Technical u niversity of O strava, FMME, Ostrava, Czech Republic This paper is dealing with hydrogen embrittlement of austenitic-ferritic 2205 duplex steel using the slow strain rate test (SSRT). The original material was subjec ted to heat treatment under 700 °C during 5 hours and f ollowing aircooling with the aim of pr ovoking sigma phase pr ecipitation and embrittle...

The essential facts about the nature of the hydrogen embrittlement of steels have now been known for 140 years. It is diffusible hydrogen that is harmful to the toughness of iron. It follows, therefore, that the harmful influence of diffusible hydrogen can be mitigated by preventing its entry into steel or by rendering it immobile once it penetrates the material. This review deals with the meth...

Hydrogen embrittlement describes a group of phenomena leading to the degradation of metal ahoy properties. The hydrogen concentration in the ahoy can be used as an indicator for the onset of embrittlement. A neutron tomography system has been optimized to perform nondestructive detection of hydrogen concentration in titanium aircraft engine compressor blades. Preprocessing of backprojection ima...
