Quantifying the hydrogen embrittlement of pipeline steels for safety considerations

In a near future, with an increasing use of hydrogen as an energy vector, gaseous hydrogen transport as well as high capacity storage may imply the use of high strength steel pipelines for economical reasons. However, such materials are well known to be sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement (HE). For safety reasons, it is thus necessary to improve and clarify the means of quantifying embrittlement. The present paper exposes the changes in mechanical properties of a grade API X80 steel through numerous mechanical tests, i.e. tensile tests, disk pressure test, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth measurements, WOL tests, performed either in neutral atmosphere or in high-pressure of hydrogen gas. The observed results are then discussed in front of safety considerations for the redaction of standards for the qualification of materials dedicating to hydrogen transport.     

Electrochemical hydrogen discharge of high-strength low alloy steel for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage tank: Effect of discharging temperature

Hydrogen discharge technique of high-strength low alloy steel for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage tank was developed by using an electrochemical technique. The electrochemical hydrogen discharge of high-strength low alloy steel were investigated in a deaerated borate buffer solution (0.3 M H₃BO₃ + 0.074 M N₂B₄O₇, pH = 8.4). By applying a potential of +630 mV_SCE which is higher than the hydrogen equilibrium potentials and lower than the pitting potential, the oxidation reaction of metal (Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻) is limited and oxidation reaction of the hydrogen (H₂ + 2OH⁻ → 2H₂O + 2e⁻) was induced simultaneously. Thus, the pre-charged hydrogen inside the specimen was eliminated effectively without any damage to the specimen. The electrochemical hydrogen discharge method was performed at 25 °C, 50 °C and 75 °C. The efficiency of hydrogen discharge was accelerated with increasing temperature because the exchange current density of hydrogen is increased with temperature.     

The role of hydrogen in the edge dislocation mobility and grain boundary-dislocation interaction in α-Fe

The atomistic mechanisms of dislocation mobility depending on the presence of hydrogen were investigated for two edge dislocation systems that are active in the plasticity of α-Fe, specifically ½<111>{110} and ½<111>{112}. In particular, the glide of the dislocation pile-ups through a single crystal, as well as transmission of the pile-ups across the grain boundary were evaluated in bcc iron crystals that contain hydrogen concentrations in different amounts. Additionally, the uniaxial tensile response under a constant strain rate was analyzed for the aforementioned structures. The results reveal that the presence of hydrogen decreases the velocity of the dislocations – in contrast to the commonly invoked HELP (Hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity) mechanism -, although some localization was observed near the grain boundary where dislocations were pinned by elastic stress fields. In the presence of pre-exisiting dislocations, hydrogen-induced hardening was observed as a consequence of the restriction of the dislocation mobility under uniaxial tension. Furthermore, it was observed that hydrogen accumulation in the grain boundary suppresses the formation of new grains that leads to a hardening response in the stress-strain behaviour which can initiate brittle fracture points.     

A focused review of the hydrogen storage tank embrittlement mechanism process

Hydrogen embrittlement is a widely known phenomenon in high-strength and storage materials. Hydrogen embrittlement is responsible for subcritical crack growth in material, fracture initiation, subsequent loss in mechanical properties, and catastrophic failure. Hydrogen is induced in the material during an electrochemical reaction between the hydrogen, storage materials, and high-pressure gaseous hydrogen environment. Various mechanisms which are responsible for crack development, growth, and fracture have been deliberated and reported. However, the fundamental mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement remains unclear. Several techniques such as linearly increasing stress test techniques (LIST), constant extension rate test (CERT) and slow strain rate testing (SSRT), thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), permeation testing (PT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been utilized to determine the amount of hydrogen diffused and available in the hydrogen storage material. The review intends to categorize and provide a clear understanding of the degradation mechanism that occurs during hydrogen embrittlement. The improvement in mitigating the hydrogen embrittlement degradation as a function of modifying the structure and surfaces of the material is established. Prospects for addressing hydrogen embrittlement degradation through further experimental and numerical research are suggested. Lastly, this paper through recommendation endeavors to prevent hydrogen storage tank degradation and reduces high costs associated with the replacement of the component in renewable energy applications.     

Influence of hydrogen on electrochemical behavior of Ni-based superalloy 718

Numerous studies have shown that Ni-based superalloy 718 may be sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement and have highlighted the dominant roles played by the hydrogen solubility and the hydrogen trapping. Samples were hydrogenated by cathodic polarization in molten salts under different conditions to vary the diffusible hydrogen content and to saturate the different hydrogen traps present in the microstructure strengthened by precipitation. Open circuit potential and galvanic coupling measurements were conducted in order to characterize the effect of diffusible and trapped hydrogen on electrochemical behavior and to discuss the possibility of galvanic coupling between zones with different hydrogen contents.     

Hydrogen related degradation in pipeline steel: A review

To support our increasing energy demand, steel pipelines are deployed in transporting oil and natural gas resources for long distances. However, numerous steel structures experience catastrophic failures due to the evolution of hydrogen from their service environments initiated by corrosion reactions and/or cathodic protection. This process results in deleterious effect on the mechanical strength of these ferrous steel structures and their principal components. The major sources of hydrogen in offshore/subsea pipeline installations are moisture as well as molecular water reduction resulting from cathodic protection. Hydrogen induced cracking comes into effect as a synergy of hydrogen concentration and stress level on susceptible steel materials, leading to severe hydrogen embrittlement (HE) scenarios. This usually manifests in the form of induced-crack episodes, e.g., hydrogen induced cracking (HIC), stress-oriented hydrogen induced cracking (SOHIC) and sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC). In this work, we have outlined sources of hydrogen attack as well as their induced failure mechanisms. Several past and recent studies supporting them have also been highlighted in line with understanding of the effect of hydrogen on pipeline steel failure. Different experimental techniques such as Devanathan–Stachurski method, thermal desorption spectrometry, hydrogen microprint technique, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical noise have proven to be useful in investigating hydrogen damage in pipeline steels. This has also necessitated our coverage of relatively comprehensive assessments of the effect of hydrogen on contemporary high-strength pipeline steel processed by thermomechanical controlled rolling. The effect of HE on cleavage planes and/or grain boundaries has prompted in depth crystallographic texture analysis within this work as a very important parameter influencing the corrosion behavior of pipeline steels. More information regarding microstructure and grain boundary interaction effects have been presented as well as the mechanisms of crack interaction with microstructure. Since hydrogen degradation is accompanied by other corrosion-related causes, this review also addresses key corrosion causes affecting offshore pipeline structures fabricated from steel. We have enlisted and extensively discussed several recent corrosion mitigation trials and performance tests in various media at different thermal and pressure conditions.
