Hydrogen embrittlement in ferritic steels

October 6, 2020

May L. Martin, Matthew J. Connolly, Frank W. DelRio, Andrew J. Slifka
The deleterious effects of hydrogen on the physical properties of metals have been known for over a century. Despite extensive work over that time period, there are still significant questions related to the “hydrogen embrittlement” of ferritic steels due

Dominant factors for fracture at the micro-scale in electrodeposited nickel alloys

May L. Martin, Li-Anne Liew, David T. Read, Todd Christensen, Frank W. DelRio, John Geaney
Two different LIGA electrodeposited nickel alloys displayed distinct fracture modes after meso- scale tensile testing. The Ni-Co alloy failed in a ductile manner, while the Ni-Fe alloy failed in a more brittle-appearing manner. Various factors affecting

HEXRD Measurement of Strain and Dislocation Density ahead of Crack Tips Grown in Hydrogen

Matthew J. Connolly, May L. Martin, Peter E. Bradley, Damian S. Lauria, Andrew J. Slifka, Jun Sang Park, Robert Amaro
The deformation fields near fatigue crack tips grown in hydrogen and in air were measured using high-energy x-ray diffraction. A larger magnitude of elastic strain was observed in the hydrogen case compared to the air case. The magnitude of elastic strain

Fatigue Testing of Pipeline Welds and Heat-Affected Zones in Pressurized Hydrogen Gas

April 26, 2019
Author(s)
Elizabeth S. Drexler, Andrew J. Slifka, Robert L. Amaro, Jeffrey W. Sowards, Matthew J. Connolly, May L. Martin, Damian S. Lauria
Several welds and associated heat-affected zones (HAZs) on two API X70 and two API X52 pipes were tested to determine the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) in pressurized hydrogen gas and assess the area of the pipe that was most susceptible to fatigue when

Hydrogen Isotope Effect in Embrittlement and Fatigue Crack Growth of Steel

March 7, 2019
Author(s)
Matthew J. Connolly, Andrew J. Slifka, Robert L. Amaro, Elizabeth S. Drexler, May L. Martin
The corrosive effect of hydrogen on steel is a long-standing problem. Corrosion in the presence of hydrogen is, in part, a consequence of the fast diffusion of hydrogen in ferritic steels. Because of the identical chemical properties but large differences
