Abstract
Bimetallic metallurgical clad pipes are designed to resist corrosion cracking due to hydrogen sulfide. However, they are still susceptible to hydrogen-induced cracking, limiting their safe use in practice. This study investigated the mechanical properties and hydrogen distribution characteristics of alloy 825/L360 bimetallic metallurgical clad pipes through fracture tests and hydrogen distribution experiment. SKPFM and hydrogen microprinting were innovatively combined to characterize local hydrogen distribution in welded materials. This overcame single-scale limits, enabling macro-nano correlation of hydrogen distribution. The fracture behavior of alloy 825/L360 bimetallic clad pipes in a hydrogen environment was explored. Key results: after 133-h hydrogen precharge, specimen elongation loss hit 53 %. Hydrogen cracks started at carbide-containing grain boundaries, with TiN aiding expansion. SKPFM showed M23C6-substrate interfaces had irreversible hydrogen enrichment (6.54 mV–92.84 mV), while TiN inclusions had weak reversible trapping (10 mV fluctuation).
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
