The SEM and TEM observations on thespecimens before and after the heat treatment showed that the bubbles or cracks could be healedcompletely by heat treatment. The healing of hydrogen attack bubbles or cracks is closely related toheat diffusion of Fe and C atoms in austenite. The driving force of crack healing results from theplastic deforming energy E_s induced by the growth of hydrogen attack bubbles or cracks. Thecritical condition of healing of bubbles or cracks is E_s >= 2 gamma/r (where gamma is the surfacetension, r is the radius of bubbles or half length of crack). During healing of the hydrogen attackbubbles or cracks, the recovery, polygonization and recrystallization of the sub-grain also occured.展开更多

Experimental results show that with increase of the hydrogen attack degree, the totally AE activity decreases during tensiling. In addition, the count of AE signals with high amplitude for the specimens with hydrogen attack keeps a constant which is less than that without hydrogen attack. It is concluded that AE signals originate in the specimens with hydrogen attack from intergranular fracture induced by methane blisterings or/and microcracks on grain boundaries.展开更多

Tensile and bend properties of steels before and after hydrogen changing were tested. The results show that the different mechanical properties of the steels with different B content have different responses to high temperature high pressure hydrogen charging processes.After hydrogen changing, more loss of ductility can be found in the steel not treated with B than those in the steels treated with B. Metallographic analyses indicated that decarburization occurred in all the steels. Furthermore, many methane bubbles were found by SEM analysis in the surface decarburization layer in the steel without B,while only a few bubbles, the number and size of which decreased with increasing B content, were found in steels with B treatment. In addition, hydrogen determination results manifested that after being exposed in hydrogen atmosphere the steel containing no B had higher hydrogen content than that of steels containing B. All this suggests that B treatment improved the HA resistance of 1.25Cgr-0.5Mo steel, and the more B the steel contained the more perceptible the effect.展开更多

The results of fatigue test showed that hydrogen attack (HA) resulted in an obvious change in fatigue properties of 1020 and 15CrMo steels, however, 2.25Cr-1Mo steel showed a lower susceptibility to hydrogen attack due to the addition of Cr and Mo. Fatigue crack behaviour for 1020 steel is attributed to hydrogen attack damage and the crack closure induced by the rough cracking surface, which lead to a valley on △Kth～HA% plot. The change in the fatigue behaviour of 15CrMo steel is possibly caused by severe surface decarburization.展开更多

The result showed that crack pacing turns much smaller underthe condition of pure heating, especially for crack tips. The healing effect is well related to thelength of cracks with the shorter in priority. By the primary mechanism of thermal diffusion, ironand carbon atoms must diffuse at the high speed in steel to realize that plasticity deformationenergy exceeds and overcomes surface tensile force energy. In addition, phase transformation andstress-stain relationship also have positive effects on the process.展开更多

In view of economy and safety it is suggested that it be practicable for UCWPV to act as reactors for platreating, hydrogenating, and catforming. UCWPV has not only potential advantages, but also removes shortages present in in-service reactors for hydrogen.展开更多
