This method was applied in order to compare for the first time the hydrogen diffusion and trapping behavior in electrochemically charged and welded duplex stainless steel (1.4462). Characteristic extraction temperatures (400, 650, and 900 °C) were used to quantify the amounts of diffusible hydrogen and trapped hydrogen for the base material and the weld metal, and in order to calculate the effective diffusion coefficients corresponding to the specific temperature. The comparison of the charging methods showed that electrochemically charged samples have a higher content of diffusible hydrogen than the welded samples. In addition, the effusion times increase in welded samples, which indicate a higher amount of trapped hydrogen. In electrochemically charged weld samples, a significant lower concentration of hydrogen was determined than in the base material. In addition, the effective diffusion coefficients were calculated for every microstructure and charging method. It was found that the base material has a higher effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient than that of the weld metal. This effect is due to the tortuous path of hydrogen diffusion in the weld metal.

A1 - Beyer, Katrin A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - The advantage of using in-situ methods for studying hydrogen mass transport: Neutron radiography vs. carrier gas hot extraction N2 - Neutron radiography (NR) is compared with the commonly used carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE) technique. We performed isothermal hydrogen effusion experiments at 623 K to study the mass transport kinetics. The investigated material was technical iron. The quantification of the hydrogen mass flow is done for NR by using concentration standards. The temporal hydrogen concentration evolution in the sample coincides well for both methods, i.e. NR and CGHE, and is in good agreement with literature. The advantages of the NR method are the non-destructive nature of measuring and the in-situ determination of hydrogen concentrations with high spatial and temporal resolution. Remaining hydrogen inside the sample can be identified directly by the NR method.
