Understanding the micromechanisms of hydrogen-assisted fracture in multiphase metals is of great scientific and engineering importance. By using a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM), the micromorphology of fracture surface and microcrack formation in hydrogen-precharged super duplex stainless steel 2507 are characterized from microscale to nanoscale. The results reveal that the fracture surfaces consist of quasi-brittle facets with riverlike patterns at the microscale, which exhibit rough irregular patterns or remarkable quasi-periodic corrugation patterns at the nanoscale that can be correlated with highly localized plastic deformation. The microcracks preferentially initiate and propagate in ferrite phase and are stopped or deflected by the boundaries of the austenite phase. The hydrogen-assisted cracking mechanisms in super duplex stainless steel are discussed according to the experimental results and hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity theory.

The behaviors of hydrogen transport and hydrogen-assisted cracking in hydrogen-precharged SUS304 austenitic stainless steel sheets in a temperature range from 177 to 298 K are investigated by a combined tensile and hydrogen release experiment as well as magnetic force microscopy (MFM) based on atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is observed that the hydrogen embrittlement increases with decreasing temperature, reaches a maximum at around 218 K, and then decreases with further temperature decrease. The hydrogen release rate increases with increasing strain until fracture at room temperature but remains near zero level at and below 218 K except for some small distinct release peaks. The MFM observations reveal that fracture occurs at phase boundaries along slip planes at room temperature and twin boundaries at 218 K. The role of strain-induced martensite in the hydrogen transport and hydrogen embrittlement is discussed.

AbstractMetallic coatings which provide a hydrogen diffusion barrier are thought to reduce hydrogen assisted cracking on stainless steel. The influence of a metallic layer on the hydrogen migration of AISI 304 stainless steel was investigated using a commercial electroplating layer of Ni and Au on a thin stainless steel coupon. Phase identification was performed using an X-ray diffractometer to determine the average thicknesses, measured from back-scattered scanning electron images. Regarding the ASTM G148-97 practice, the effective hydrogen diffusivities of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel, nickel and gold were measured as 7.07 × 10-13, 2.72 × 10-14 and 9.64 × 10-16 m2 × s-1, respectively. In this work, a gold layer was found to be most effective for the prevention of hydrogen diffusion when compared with untreated and Ni-plated 304 stainless steel.
