The deterioration of the mechanical properties of metal induced by hydrogen absorption threatens the safety of the equipment serviced in hydrogen environments. In this study, the hydrogen concentration distribution in 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel after hydrogen charging was analyzed following the hydrogen permeation and diffusion model. The diffusible hydrogen content in the 1-mm-thick specimen and its influence on the mechanical properties of the material were investigated by glycerol gas collecting test, static hydrogen charging tensile test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test, and microhardness test. The results indicate that the content of diffusible hydrogen tends to be the saturation state when the hydrogen charging time reaches 48 h. The simulation results suggest that the hydrogen concentration distribution can be effectively simulated by ABAQUS and the method can be used to analyze the hydrogen concentration in the material with complex structures or containing multiple microstructures. The influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties is that the elongation of this material is reduced and the diffusible hydrogen will cause a decrease in the fracture toughness of the material, and thus hydrogen embrittlement (HE) will occur. Moreover, the Young's modulus E and microhardness are increased due to hydrogen absorption, and the variation value is related to the hydrogen concentration introduced into the specimen.
氢吸收导致的金属力学性能恶化威胁着在氢环境中服役设备的安全。在本研究中,依据氢渗透和扩散模型分析了2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V钢充氢后的氢浓度分布。通过甘油气体收集试验、静态充氢拉伸试验、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)试验和显微硬度试验,研究了1mm厚试样中的扩散氢含量及其对材料力学性能的影响。结果表明,当充氢时间达到48h时,扩散氢含量趋于饱和状态。模拟结果表明,ABAQUS能够有效地模拟氢浓度分布,该方法可用于分析具有复杂结构或包含多种微观结构的材料中的氢浓度。氢对力学性能的影响是,该材料的伸长率降低,扩散氢会导致材料的断裂韧性下降,从而发生氢脆(HE)。此外,由于吸氢,杨氏模量E和显微硬度增加,其变化值与引入试样中的氢浓度有关。
