摘要

钢的氢脆对未来可靠和可持续的氢基能源的发展提出了重大挑战。尽管有完善的现象学和广泛讨论的机制,一个缺陷水平的理解仍然不完整。利用原位环境透射电镜,我们跟踪了Cr-Mo低合金钢片片的断裂,发现氢气的存在从根本上改变了断裂过程。在氢的存在下,在裂纹尖端前面的薄片区域形成尖锐的锯齿状裂纹,以最小的塑性迅速扩展。这与真空条件形成对比,在真空条件下,裂纹通过在裂纹尖端前面的薄片上形成孔洞而传播得更慢,随后是孔洞之间的裂纹桥的广泛颈缩和破裂。我们提出了两种缺陷级别的方案,以解释我们基于氢增强脱粘(HEDE)和氢增强局部塑性(HELP)的观察结果,并挑战当前的建模工作,探索氢如何解释薄片中锯齿状裂纹的形成。在氢脆体试样断口表面的撕裂脊上也观察到锯齿状裂纹的证据,这表明氢脆体试样在断裂过程中在裂纹桥内的断裂过程中发挥了作用。考虑到裂纹桥的数量和大小,我们认为锯齿形裂纹可能导致体钢的氢脆。

Zig-Zag cracking as a possible characteristic feature of hydrogen embrittlement in a low alloy steel: Insights from in-situ TEM studies
Hydrogen embrittlement of steel poses a significant challenge to the development of a reliable and sustainable hydrogen-based energy future. Despite well-established phenomenology and widely discussed mechanisms, a defect-level understanding remains incomplete. Using in-situ environmental transmission electron microscopy, we tracked fracture in Cr-Mo low alloy steel lamellae and found that the presence of hydrogen gas fundamentally alters the fracture process. In the presence of hydrogen, sharp, facetted zig-zag cracks form in the thinned regions of the lamellae ahead of the crack tip, rapidly propagating with minimal plasticity. This contrasts with vacuum conditions, where cracks propagate more slowly by forming holes in the lamellae ahead of the crack tip, followed by extensive necking and rupture of the crack bridges between the holes. We propose two defect-level scenarios that account for our observations—based on hydrogen enhanced decohesion (HEDE) and hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP)— and challenge current modeling efforts to explore how hydrogen can account for the formation of zig-zag cracks in thin lamellae. Evidence for zig-zag cracking is also observed at the tear ridges on the of fracture surfaces hydrogen embrittled bulk samples, suggesting its role in the fracture process within crack bridges during bulk fracture. Considering the number and size of the crack bridges, we argue that zig-zag cracking may contribute to hydrogen embrittlement of bulk steels.
