In fact, while, for instance, electron microscopy yields excellent characterization, the quantitative analysis of damage requires at the same time large field-of-views and high spatial resolution. Synchrotron X-ray refraction techniques do possess both features. In this work, we show how synchrotron X-ray refraction computed tomography (SXRCT) can quantify damage induced by hydrogen embrittlement in a lean duplex steel, yielding results that overperform even those achievable by synchrotron X-ray absorption computed tomography. As already reported in literature, but this time using a non-destructive technique, we show that the hydrogen charge does not penetrate to the center of tensile specimens. By the comparison between virgin and hydrogen-charged specimens, we deduce that cracks in the specimen bulk are due to the rolling process rather than hydrogen-assisted. We show that (micro)cracks propagate from the surface of tensile specimens to the interior with increasing applied strain, and we deduce that a significant crack propagation can only be observed short before rupture.

Though, the mechanism of HAC is not completely understood yet and thus suitable methods for in situ investigations to characterise the crack formation are needed. X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a well-known tool for analysing these properties. However, the effective resolution of the detector system limits the detection of small defects by CT. Analyser based imaging (ABI) takes advantage of x-ray refraction at interfaces between volumes of different density, i.e. of cracks, pores, inclusions, etc., within the sample to detect defects smaller than the resolution of the detector system. In this study, measurements on an aluminium alloy weld showed that ABI allows us to resolve the 3D structure of cracks undetected by absorption based CT. Prospective investigations will analyse HAC in steels.

A1 - Griesche, Axel A1 - Bruno, Giovanni A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - 3D imaging of hydrogen assisted cracking using analyser-based imaging N2 - To better understand the mechanism of hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC), it is important to investigate the 3D structure of the cracks non-destructively. Since, cracks introduced by HAC are usually very small, conventional x-ray imaging methods often lack the required spatial resolution. However, the detection of those cracks can be enhanced by taking advantage of refraction at interfaces within the sample. To image this refractive deflection we employ analyser based imaging (ABI). In this work we aim at proving the enhanced crack detection of ABI by investigating an alluminum alloy weld.

Deren Aussagekraft ist häufig zu gering und daher muss zum einen das wissenschaftliche Verständnis der Mikrokaltriss-Entstehung in diesen Stählen vertieft werden und zum anderen müssen die Prüfmethoden und Bewertungskriterien angepasst werden. Dies erfordert ein besseres Verständnis insbesondere der Kopplung von Eigenspannungen, Wasserstoffgehalten und der Wirkung äußerer Kräfte auf die Rissentstehung und das Risswachstum. Erstmals soll mittels 3D-Synchrotron-Refraktions-Topographie an der BAMline am BESSY die Rissentstehung in mit Wasserstoff beladenen Zugproben charakterisiert werden. Diese Kenntnisse sollen in weiteren Untersuchungen auf Schweißnähte übertragen werden.
