Abstract
The ageing treatment (450 °C/60 h) led to the spinodal decomposition at grain boundaries (GBs) and the development of chemical short-range orders (CSROs) in the alloy matrix, increasing the strength and effectively reducing the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) sensitivity of the equiatomic FeMnNiCoCr alloy. Firstly, the emergence of NiMn- and Cr-rich orders at GB regions reduces hydrogen diffusion rates along GBs and limits hydrogen enrichment at these sites. Secondly, CSROs promote hydrogen accumulation within the grain interior and impede hydrogen penetration, resulting in a shallower hydrogen-affected depth in the aged sample. Moreover, the modulation of hydrogen distribution by microstructure initiates transgranular cracking in the aged sample.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
