T1 - Neutron radiography study of hydrogen desorption in technical iron N2 - The purpose of the present study is to show the feasibility of examining hydrogen desorption in technical iron samples using neutron radiography at the ANTARES facility of the FRM II research reactor, Technische Universität München. It has been shown that this method is appropriate for in situ determination of hydrogen Desorption for concentrations as low as 20 ppmH. Experiments were carried out in the temperature range from room temperature up to 260 °C. Measurement was based on direct comparison between electrochemically hydrogen-loaded iron samples and hydrogen-free reference samples at the same temperature. This enables the determination of hydrogen concentration as a function of time and temperature. Ex situ carrier gas hot extraction experiments using the same temperature–time profiles as the neutron radiography experiments have been used to calibrate the greyscale values of the radiographs to defined hydrogen concentrations. It can be stated that hydrogen desorption correlates with sample temperature.

T1 - Study of hydrogen effusion in austenitic stainless steel by time-resolved in-situ measurements using neutron radiography N2 - The purpose of the present study was to show the feasibility of measuring hydrogen effusion in austenitic stainless steel (1.4301) using neutron radiography at the facility ANTARES of the research reactor FRM II of the Technische Universität München. This method is appropriate to measure in-situ hydrogen effusion for hydrogen concentrations as small as 20 ppmH. Experiments were carried out in the temperature range from room temperature up to 533 K. The measurement principle is based on the parallel comparison of electrochemically hydrogen charged specimen with hydrogen-free reference specimen at the same temperature. This allows the determination of the hydrogen concentration in the specimens as a function of time and temperature. Separate hot carrier gas extraction experiments using the same temperature–time profiles as the radiography experiments have been used to calibrate the grey values of the neutron transmission images into hydrogen concentrations. It can be stated that the hydrogen effusion correlates with the specimen temperature.
