Abstract
The hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of Ni and Ni-Cr alloys, i.e., Ni-1Cr, Ni-5Cr, Ni-10Cr, and Ni-20Cr, was investigated using slow strain rate tensile tests followed by post-mortem characterization via scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), and electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI). The HE susceptibility of Ni-Cr alloys varied nonmonotonically with the increasing amount of Cr, as the highest HE sensitivity was found for the Ni-10Cr alloy. After H-charging, the fracture surface of Ni-Cr alloys changed from fully ductile dimples to brittle features: quasi-cleavage for Ni-20Cr and intergranular for the rest. The influences of hydrogen on the dislocation collective behavior of Ni-Cr alloys were systematically studied. ECCI observations revealed that dislocation cell structures presented in Ni-1Cr, while dislocation slips in a more planar way were found in Ni-10Cr and Ni-20Cr. H does not alter the type of dislocation structures and has no noticeable impact on dislocation structure evolution in Ni-1Cr, Ni-10Cr, and Ni-20Cr alloys.
