Prevention of Hydrogen Embrittlement in Steels

Prevention of Hydrogen Embrittlement in SteelsH. K. D. H. BhadeshiaaaMaterials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, essential facts about the nature of the Hydrogen Embrittlement of steelshave now been known for 140 years. It is diffusible Hydrogen that is harmfulto the toughness of iron. It follows, therefore, that the harmful influence ofdiffusible Hydrogen can be mitigated by preventing its entry into steelorbyrendering it immobile once it penetrates the material. This review dealswiththe methods that might be implemented to design Steels and componentsthat resist Hydrogen Embrittlement by reducing the intake of Hydrogen orrendering it innocuous when it does penetrate the : Hydrogen Embrittlement , Hydrogen trapping, hydrogenpermeation, steel design, diffusion barriers, coatings1.

tendency for micropitting is reduced by the presence of black oxide during rolling-sliding wear tests, when compared to untreated steel [25]. Insum-4. The diffusion coefficient is a familiar mass transport parameter defined using Fick’s law and with units of m. 2. s. −1. Permeability is related to flow through a film and has units of ...
