Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to assess the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of carbon gradient heterostructure materials and to verify the reliability of the scratch method.

Design/methodology/approach

The surface-modified layer of 18CrNiMo7-6 alloy steel was delaminated to study its hydrogen embrittlement characteristics via hydrogen permeation, electrochemical hydrogen charging and scratch experiments.

Findings

The results showed that the diffusion coefficients of hydrogen in the surface and matrix layers are 3.28 × 10⁻⁷ and 16.67 × 10⁻⁷ cm²/s, respectively. The diffusible-hydrogen concentration of the material increases with increasing hydrogen-charging current density. For a given hydrogen-charging current density, the diffusible-hydrogen concentration gradually decreases with increasing depth in the surface-modified layer. Fracture toughness decreases with increasing diffusible-hydrogen concentration, so the susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement decreases with increasing depth in the surface-modified layer.

Originality/value

The reliability of the scratch method in evaluating the fracture toughness of the surface-modified layer material is verified. An empirical formula is given for fracture toughness as a function of diffused-hydrogen concentration.

基于划痕法的 18CrNiMo7-6 合金钢表面改性层氢脆敏感性表征

本文旨在评估碳梯度异质结构材料的氢脆敏感性，并验证划痕法的可靠性。设计/方法/途径对 18CrNiMo7-6 合金钢的表面改性层进行分层，通过氢渗透、电化学充氢和划痕实验研究其氢脆特性。材料的可扩散氢浓度随着充氢电流密度的增加而增加。在给定的充氢电流密度下，扩散氢浓度随着表面改性层深度的增加而逐渐降低。断裂韧性随可扩散氢浓度的增加而降低，因此氢脆敏感性随表面改性层深度的增加而降低。给出了断裂韧性与扩散氢浓度函数的经验公式。
