The microscopic hydrogen diffusion in UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel was analyzed using a polyaniline-nickel-based video imaging system. flux the body-centered-cubic ferrite (α) phases larger than face-centered-cubic austenite (γ) phases, causing from α to γ phases. order of as follows: (high) center > near α-γ boundaries (low). grain size also affected distribution. A small phase led large around phase, because effect outflux increased with decreasing distance boundary.

Hydrogen, the key element for solving major environmental issues, exhibits rapid diffusion and localization in lattice defects of metals, which leads to embrittlement. However, microstructure-hydrogen interactions metallic materials are poorly understood. Therefore, a technique capturing microstructure-dependent hydrogen real-time has long been targeted by researchers. Here, we successfully visualized preferential at grain boundaries (GBs) pure Ni using video imaging system. A thin...

Local hydrogen entry under a NaCl droplet on Fe sheets was analysed by employing hydrogenochromic sensor and electrochemical permeation tests. Large crystallographic pits barely promoted entry, because pitting proceeded at potentials higher than the potential of evolution reaction. Hydrogen accelerated acidification an island-like rust layer. The layer became thick in its outer regions, mainly owing to severe corrosion alkalisation around rust-formed area. prominent after disappearance...

In this study, we investigated the hydrogen absorption behavior of pre-rusted steel in an NaCl droplet by measuring permeation current and corrosion potential. To prepare steel, a 30-μL 0.1-mol/dm3 solution was placed on surface exposed to wet-dry cyclic conditions changing relative humidity (RH) repeatedly from 40% 95% at constant rate 27.5%/h 298 K. The potential were measured during drying electrolyte using electrochemical test Kelvin probe (KP) technique, respectively. shifted negative...

To investigate hydrogen absorption behavior into carbon steel during corrosion in an aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) droplet, a simultaneous measurement system of the potential, Ecorr and permeation current, iper was developed using Kelvin probe (KP) technique Devanathan–Stachurski (DS) method, respectively. This outputs interrelation between throughout drying process NaCl droplet. Our results showed that occurred when shifted less noble direction under wet conditions, ceased at higher...

Abstract Hydrogen is one of the key elements for economy based on renewable and sustainable resources. Because a very low concentration hydrogen in metallic structural materials often causes embrittlement decreases their mechanical property, there great interest development an inexpensive versatile sensor metals with high sensitivity spatial resolution. Here, real‐time visualization atomic state metal has been successfully achieved using hydrogenochromic consisting conventionally fabricated...

The effects of residual stress on the hydrogen embrittlement behavior a tempered martensitic steel sheet with 1-GPa-class tensile strength stretch-formed by hemisphere punch simulating press-formed automotive structural parts were investigated. Cracking specimen induced potentiostatic charging was initiated in foot impression and propagated to radial direction both toward hillside plain. mixture quasi cleavage intergranular fractures observed whole through fracture surface.

To evaluate the susceptibility of steels to hydrogen embrittlement, it must be charged and have its content controlled before any mechanical testing. In this study, permeation tests an iron sheet were performed during potentiostatic charging in various solutions containing ammonium thiocyanate obtain a guideline for efficient wide range contents. As polarization potential shifted negative direction, current increased becoming almost constant. all cases, besides when aqueous sodium hydroxide...
