T1 - Hydrogen diffusion measurements in steels using neutron imaging T2 - Annual Report 2011 of the scientific cooperation at Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) N2 - Revealing hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in steels is of great interest to scientists and engineers. Neutron radiography makes it possible to measure in-situ hydrogen diffusion with high spatial and temporal resolution at concentrations as low as 20 ppm. We compare hydrogen-charged specimens with hydrogen-free reference specimens and use calibration standards to normalize the hydrogen concentrations. This allows quantitative tracking of the hydrogen concentration evolution as a function of time, space and temperature. Furthermore, a view into the material with 'neutron eyes' facilitates the detection of cavities that contain molecular hydrogen.
