Positron-annihilation spectroscopy has been used to study the density of trapping sites in amorphous and crystalline Cu50Ti50. The effects of hydrogenation on the positron-annihilation spectrum in the amorphous alloy are also investigated. It is shown that the amorphous alloy has a higher concentration of trapping sites than the crystalline alloy and that in the hydrogenated amorphous alloy, the positrons are annihilated by electrons having a momentum distribution that is very nearly the same as in the crystalline alloy.

The behavior of helium in reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steels was investigated systematically with positron annihilation Doppler broadening measurement and thermal desorption spectroscopy. Specimens were irradiated with helium ions with different energies to various fluences at different temperatures. A threshold fluence was observed above which the rate of formation and growth of helium bubbles dramatically increased. Irradiation at higher temperature could suppress the formation and growth of HenVm clusters with low binding energies and enhance that of helium bubbles and HenVm clusters with high binding energies. Different changes of S parameters were observed in various depth after the irradiation temperature was increased from 523 K to 723 K. Irradiation of 18 keV-He+ enhanced the growth of HenVm clusters and helium bubbles compared with 100 keV-He+ irradiation. A possible mechanism is discussed.

Hydrogen is nowadays in focus as an energy carrier that is locally emission free. Especially in combination with fuel-cells, hydrogen offers the possibility of a CO2 neutral mobility, provided that the hydrogen is produced with renewable energy. Structural parts of automotive components are often made of steel, but unfortunately they may show degradation of the mechanical properties when in contact with hydrogen. Under certain service conditions, hydrogen uptake into the applied material can occur. To ensure a safe operation of automotive components, it is therefore necessary to investigate the time, temperature and pressure dependent hydrogen uptake of certain steels, e.g., to deduct suitable testing concepts that also consider a long term service application. To investigate the material dependent hydrogen uptake, a tubular autoclave was set-up. The underlying paper describes the set-up of this autoclave that can be pressurised up to 20 MPa at room temperature and can be heated up to a temperature of 250 °C, due to an externally applied heating sleeve. The second focus of the paper is the investigation of the pressure dependent hydrogen solubility of the martensitic stainless steel 1.4418. The autoclave offers a very fast insertion and exertion of samples and therefore has significant advantages compared to commonly larger autoclaves. Results of hydrogen charging experiments are presented, that were conducted on the Nickel-martensitic stainless steel 1.4418. Cylindrical samples 3 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length were hydrogen charged within the autoclave and subsequently measured using thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The results show how hydrogen sorption curves can be effectively collected to investigate its dependence on time, temperature and hydrogen pressure, thus enabling, e.g., the deduction of hydrogen diffusion coefficients and hydrogen pre-charging concepts for material testing.

Hydrogen desorption kinetics for rapidly solidified high purity Al and Al-Cr alloy foils containing 1.0, 1.5 and 3.0 at % Cr were investigated by means of thermal desorption analysis (TDA) at a heating rate of 3.3°C/min. For the first time, it was found that oxide inclusions of Al2O3 are dominant high-temperature hydrogen traps compared with pores and secondary phase precipitates resulted in rapid solidification of Al and its alloys. The correspondent high-temperature evolution rate peak was identified to be positioned at 600°C for high purity Al and shifted to 630°C for Al-Cr alloys. Amount of hydrogen trapped by dislocations increases in the alloys depending on Cr content. Microstructural hydrogen trapping behaviour in low-and intermediate temperature regions observed here was in coincidence with previous data obtained for RS materials using thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The present results on hydrogen thermal desorption evolution indicate that the effect of oxide surface layers becomes remarkable in TDA measurements and show advantages in combinations of both desorption analysis methods to investigate hydrogen desorption kinetics in materials.
