电化学充氢对Cr15铁素体不锈钢和304奥氏体不锈钢氢脆敏感性的影响

研究了充氢时间、充氢电流密度、晶体结构对不锈钢氢脆敏感性的影响。结果表明:对于铁素体不锈钢,随着充氢时间的延长、电流密度的增大,塑性显著降低,氢脆敏感性大幅度增加;通过SEM观察实验钢断口形貌,断裂类型由韧性断裂转变为脆性断裂。而相同条件下,奥氏体不锈钢氢脆敏感性较低,抗氢脆性能较好。充氢后实验钢表面存在大量H,且氢含量随试样深度逐渐降低,晶界可能作为氢陷阱影响实验钢的氢脆敏感性。     

应力状态和渗氢条件在非晶态NiCrFeSiB合金氢脆断裂中的作用

通过慢应变速率拉伸、断口观察和断裂力学分析等方法研究了非晶态NiCrFeSiB合金氢脆断裂过程和断口形态的关系.试样的应力状态,氢的渗入量及其在试样中的分布,以及非晶态合金塑性变形局部化的程度等因素对断裂过程都有影响.当渗氢量较低时,断裂方式主要由试样的应力状态所决定,发生近表面区的平面应力断裂和内部的平面应变断裂.当渗氢量较高,且氢由表面向内部分布的浓度梯度较陡时,发生表面区的"解理"型断裂和核心区的延性断裂.在渗氢量适中,氢浓度梯度平缓的条件下,出现由表面向内部塑性变形程度逐渐增大的"河流"形态.根据

采用拉伸和慢拉伸试验,研究了X80管线钢在静态充氢与慢拉伸动态充氢条件下的断裂特性.结果表明:在静态充氢条件下,当充氢电流密度小于12.5 mA/cm2时,材料的断裂韧性随电流密度的增加而增加,当电流密度大于该值时,随电流密度增加,材料的断裂韧性呈下降趋势;在慢拉伸动态充氢条件下,随电流密度的增加,材料的断裂韧性显著降低,并满足一定的函数关系.静态充氢试样断口主要呈韧窝特征,但与未充氢试件比较,韧窝的尺寸变小,数量变多;慢拉伸动态充氢试样断口呈现解理形貌.     

Al-xMg-3.1Zn铝合金的应力腐蚀开裂行为及其机制

通过慢应变速率拉伸实验和动态电解充氢实验分别研究了Al-x Mg-3.1Zn铝合金的应力腐蚀开裂行为及其氢脆行为。结合宏观断口和微观断口形貌分析研究了合金发生应力腐蚀开裂的进程。通过对合金应力腐蚀开裂的机制进行分析阐明了合金中Mg元素含量对合金应力腐蚀开裂行为的影响。结果表明:在该合金体系中存在应力腐蚀开裂,且合金的应力腐蚀敏感性随合金中Mg含量的降低而降低,这与合金的阳极溶解行为与氢脆行为随Mg元素含量降低而减弱有着直接的关系。在这当中,合金中晶界析出相的数量随Mg元素含量降低而减少起到了至关重要的作用。     

氢在钢的硫化物应力腐蚀破裂中的作用

本文研究了12MnMoVNbTi低合金钢在饱和H_3S溶液中的极化和应力腐蚀行为,并与电解充氢条件下的应力破裂行为进行了对比。证明钢中Mo、Nb含量的变化与热处理条件的不同对其一般腐蚀行为影响很小,但能显著改变其抗应力腐蚀性能,12MnMoVNbTi钢在H_2S介质中的应力腐蚀破裂行为与它们在充氢条件下的应力破裂行为非常类似,显示其应力腐蚀破裂的实质是氢脆。充氢条件下应力弛豫和恒载荷拉伸试验结果表明,氢有引起钢的软化和硬化的双重作用。由于氢的进入所产生的软化作用使钢在屈服强度以下发生塑性变形,但随后的硬化过程又使变形速度逐步减慢。这种由氢的作用引起的在较低应力下发生的塑性变形过程并不直接导致断裂,但塑性变形行为和氢应力破裂行为之间的关系表明,这种变形过程中的位错运动能够帮助氢的移动和向塑变区及裂纹尖端集中,促进氢脆断裂。     

回火温度对含V、Nb高强度低合金钢氢脆敏感性的影响

采用氢渗透试验和动态充氢拉伸试验研究了920℃冰水淬火后回火温度(560、600和640℃)对某含0.15%V和0.05%Nb(质量分数)高强度低合金钢的氢扩散系数和氢脆敏感性的影响,并利用金相显微镜、X射线衍射仪、透射电镜(TEM)观察分析回火试样的微观组织。结果表明,随回火温度升高,氢扩散系数增加,氢扩散激活能降低,同时钢的氢脆敏感性也降低,这是因为随回火温度升高,钢中作为氢陷阱的位错密度减少,从而使得氢陷阱密度减小,在相同的充氢条件下可扩散氢含量减小。     

预充氢马氏体时效钢的氢脆性能研究

目的研究预先存在于试样中的氢对材料力学性能的影响。方法对固溶态和三种时效态18Ni马氏体时效钢,采用双电解槽装置测量了其氢扩散系数,用热分析法获得了材料的氢扩散激活能。采用慢应变速率拉伸法评估了在预充氢后镀镉密封试样的力学性能,并由此评估它们的氢脆敏感性。结果固溶态试样的氢扩散系数最大,为1.40×10~(-8)_ cm~2/s;对时效态试样,当时效温度分别为465、490、530℃时,氢扩散系数分别为6.23×10~(-9)、5.52×10~(-9)、2.84×10~(-9) cm~2/s,即随时效温度升高,扩散系数降低。而扩散激活能正好相反,固溶态的最小,其他的依次逐渐升高。四种试样均显示出氢脆敏感性,且随着预充氢电流密度升高而增大。T465和T490的氢脆敏感性均大于58%,T530的氢脆敏感性小于40%。四种试样的断口形貌均表现为由中心起裂,向周围呈放射状扩展。中心起裂源处为典型的沿晶开裂,扩展区为准解理开裂。结论过时效态样品的抗氢脆性能最好。预先存在于试样中的氢在拉伸过程中向中心富集,造成中心沿晶开裂,与动态充氢拉伸断口相反。     

Hydrogen embrittlement and fracture toughness of a titanium alloy with surface modification by hard coatings

The effect of hydrogen embrittlement on the fracture toughness of a titanium alloy with different surface modifications was investigated. Disk- shaped compact- tension specimens were first coated with different .hard films and then hydrogen charged by an electrochemical method. Glow discharge optical spectrometry (GDOS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x- ray diffractometry (XRD) were applied to analyze the surface characteristics. The results revealed that fracture toughness of the as- received titanium alloy decreased with the increase of hydrogen charging time. Fracture toughness of the alloy after plasma nitriding or ion implantation, which produced a TiN _x layer, decreased as well, but to a lesser extent after cathodic charging. The best result obtained was for the alloy coated with a CrN film where fracture toughness was sustained even after hydrogen charging for 144 h. Obviously, the CrN film acted as a better barrier to retard hydrogen permeation, but it was at the sacrifice of the CrN film itself.     

Hydrogen embrittlement of nodular cast iron

Ferritic nodular cast iron, intended for use as the material for inserts of canisters for long-term geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel, was studied for hydrogen sensitivity. In the canisters, the insert provides the mechanical strength against external loads. Hydrogen was charged from 0.1 N H₂SO₄ solution in free-corrosion tests and under controlled cathodic potential. Hydrogen uptake and trapping were then measured using thermal desorption spectroscopy. The hydrogen desorption rate after hydrogen charging manifests two distinct peaks. Plastic deformation during hydrogen charging increases the hydrogen uptake considerably. Hydrogen reduces the elongation to fracture and time to fracture in slow strain rate testing and constant load testing (CLT), respectively. Especially, the strain rate in CLT is dramatically increased. The appearance of hydrogen-induced cracking in the ferrite phase changes from ductile dimple fracture to brittle cleavage fracture due to hydrogen charging, which initiates from the interphases of the graphite nodules. The results are discussed in terms of the role of hydrogen and the graphite nodules in hydrogen embrittlement of ductile cast iron.     

Effect of hydrogen on the fracture behavior of high strength steel during slow strain rate test

The effect of hydrogen on the fracture behavior of the quenched and tempered AISI 4135 steel at 1450 MPa has been investigated by means of slow strain rate tests on smooth and circumferentially-notched round-bar specimens. Hydrogen was introduced into specimens by electrochemical charging and its content was measured by thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) analysis. Results showed that the steel had high hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility. For both smooth and notched specimens, the fracture mode was changed from microvoid coalescence (MVC) to brittle intergranular (IG) fracture after the introduction of a small amount of diffusible hydrogen. Fracture initiated in the vicinity of the notch root for notched specimens, while it started from around the center in smooth specimens. The fracture stress decreased with increasing diffusible hydrogen content, and the decreasing trend was more prominent for specimens with a higher stress concentration factor. Taking into account the stress-driven hydrogen diffusion and accumulation in the vicinity of the notch root, the local diffusible hydrogen concentration and local fracture stress in notched specimens have been calculated. According to numerical results, the relationship between the local fracture stress and local diffusible hydrogen concentration was independent of stress concentration factor, which could account for the effect of hydrogen on the fracture stress of the steel.

Susceptibility of a X80 steel to hydrogen embrittlement

The susceptibility to hydrogen of a X80 grade steel produced by a thermo‐mechanical control process (TMCP) has been investigated by keeping straining notched specimens under continuous charging conditions. Hydrogen charging was carried out either in synthetic seawater under potentiostatic control at ? 1000 mV vs. SCE or in sulphuric acid with an absorption promoter under galvanostatic control at ? 5 mA/cm². Results reported in terms of hydrogen effect on the ductility of the steel as a function of both cross head speed and root radius of the notch indicate that under the combined effect of cathodic charging, notch severity and very low strain rates the ductility of the TMCP X80 steel can be greatly affected by the presence of hydrogen. With notched specimens strained in air increasing loss of ductility in terms of reduction in area is observed as the notch severity increases. Notched specimens are fairly “more brittle” than smooth ones. As notched specimens are strained under cathodic charging at ? 1000 mV vs. SCE in the synthetic seawater, considerable decrease of reduction in area (RA) is observed. The same trend is observed for displacement and load at fracture both being connected with ductility even if a definite tendency is not always obtained. As the notched specimens are strained under cathodic charging in seawater the fracture morphology shows regions of mixed ductile and brittle fracture and zones where intergranular and/or transgranular fracture path are prevailing. Area of intergranular and transgranular fracture path, that can be more strictly associated with the presence of hydrogen, tends to increase as the strain rate decreases, which suggests a fracture behaviour influenced by hydrogen diffusion. Several mechanisms were involved in the rupture process in sulphuric acid depending on the notch geometry and, especially, on the cross head speed. Apparently, transgranular (quasi‐cleavage) rupture tends to prevail as the displacement becomes lower and lower. No evidence of intergranular fracture was observed.     

氢对LC4高强铝合金应力腐蚀断裂的影响

采用慢应变速率拉伸试验研究了氢在LC4高强铝合金应力腐蚀断裂过程中的作用。结果表明，LC4合金在干燥空气中不发生应力腐蚀断裂，而在潮温空气中发生应力腐蚀断裂，在潮湿空气和阳极极化条件下，铝合金的应力腐蚀断裂机理是以阳极溶解为主，氢几乎不起作用，在预渗氢或阴极极化条件下，氢脆起主要作用，预渗氢时间延长可加速LC4合金的应力腐蚀断裂。     

Effect of Hydrogen and Magnetic Field on the Mechanical Behavior of High Strength AISI 4340 Steel

Presence of hydrogen in materials is known to affect their mechanical properties due to hydrogen embrittlement problem. Steels used in various applications are prone to be exposed to aqueous electrochemical environments, which may introduce hydrogen into the alloy. These alloys are also prone to be simultaneously exposed to magnetic field, which may affect the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of these alloys. Therefore, it is important to examine the effect of hydrogen and magnetic field on the mechanical behavior of iron-based alloys. In this work, the effect of hydrogen and magnetic field on the fracture behavior of high strength AISI 4340 steel was examined. Three-point bend test was used to study the fracture behavior. In all the cases, the samples tested with hydrogen charging show a drastic reduction in ductility and fracture stress values. The effect of magnetic field was seen to be negligible. The hydrogen embrittlement was characterized by a change in the fracture surface from a ductile-type fracture to a brittle cleavage-type fracture. Acoustic emission signals collected during the test corresponds to the fracture behavior.
