A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - Imaging of hydrogen in steels using neutrons N2 - We investigated the hydrogen distribution spatially and temporally in technical iron at room temperature. Samples were charged electrochemically and subsequently analysed by means of neutron radiography and tomography. The radiographic images allowed for a time-resolved analysis of hydrogen fluxes. The three-dimensional distribution of hydrogen measured by neutron tomography delivered valuable information for the damage analysis of hydrogen-induced cracks. For the first time hydrogen concentration gradients inside the material could be detect directly together with the cracks. The neutron radiography and tomography results were gained at the Research Reactor BER II of the HZB in Berlin.

T1 - Three-dimensional imaging of hydrogen blister in iron with neutron tomography N2 - We investigated hydrogen embrittlement and blistering in electrochemically hydrogen-charged technical iron samples at room temperature. Hydrogen-stimulated cracks and blisters and the corresponding hydrogen distributions were observed by neutron tomography. Cold neutrons were provided by the research reactor BER II to picture the sample with a spatial resolution in the reconstructed three-dimensional model of ~25 µm. We made the unique observation that cracks were filled with molecular hydrogen and that cracks were surrounded by a 50 µm wide zone with a high hydrogen concentration. The zone contains up to ten times more hydrogen than the bulk material. The hydrogen enriched zone can be ascribed to a region of increased local defect density. Hydrogen also accumulated at the sample surface having the highest concentration at blistered areas. The surfaces of the brittle fractured cracks showed micropores visualized by scanning electron microscopy. The micropores were located at grain boundaries and were surrounded by stress fields detected by electron backscattered diffraction. The cracks clearly originated from the micropores.

T1 - In situ measurements of hydrogen diffusion in duplex stainless steels by neutron radiography N2 - Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a widely known phenomenon and under investigation already for more than a century. This phenomenon, though thoroughly studied, is not yet completely understood, and so far, there are several suggested mechanisms that try to explain the occurrence of HE. One important factor of understanding the HE phenomenon and predicting hydrogen-assisted failure is the descent knowledge about the hydrogen transport behaviour in the material. Neutron radiography is a proven method for tracking hydrogen diffusion and it was applied successfully in various research studies. In the presented study, we examined the hydrogen effusion behaviour in duplex stainless steel by means of neutron radiography and calculated the effective diffusion coefficient from the obtained transmission images.

A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - Neutron imaging of hydrogen in steels N2 - Transmission images with neutrons show a high contrast between hydrogen and iron when using state-of-the-art scintillator materials and digital Cameras. Monitoring the 2D hydrogen distribution evolution with good temporal resolution is possible if a high flux of neutrons is provided. The mass transport of hydrogen can be quantified by Converting the intensity distribution of the images in a hydrogen concentration distribution by using Standards with known composition and similar thickness. Then neutron radiography can be used quantitatively as a non-destructive measurement technique to determine diffusion coefficients e.g. for hydrogen in Steel. We report about measurements at Research Reactors in Germany. The capabilities and limitations, s well as perspectives of this method will be discussed and illustrated with selected examples.
