Abstract:The influence of hydrogen on the fracture toughness and fatigue crack propagation rate of two structural steel grades, with and without vanadium, was evaluated by means of tests performed on thermally precharged samples in a hydrogen reactor at 195 bar and 450 °C for 21 h. The degradation of the mechanical properties was directly correlated with the interaction between hydrogen atoms and the steel microstructure. A LECO DH603 hydrogen analyzer was used to study the activation energies of the different microstr… Show more
“…The high HE susceptibility of the cast variant was attributed to the platelet structure of pearlite and H trapping at carbides, leading to increased H concentration. This observation seemingly contrasts with other research indicating a protective role of carbides as strong traps mitigating HE, as suggested by other authors. , …”

Hydrogen is considered a clean and efficient energy carrier crucial
for shaping the net-zero future. Large-scale production, transportation,
storage, and use of green hydrogen are expected to be undertaken in
the coming decades. As the smallest element in the universe, however,
hydrogen can adsorb on, diffuse into, and interact with many metallic
materials, degrading their mechanical properties. This multifaceted
phenomenon is generically categorized as hydrogen embrittlement (HE).
HE is one of the most complex material problems that arises as an
outcome of the intricate interplay across specific spatial and temporal
scales between the mechanical driving force and the material resistance
fingerprinted by the microstructures and subsequently weakened by
the presence of hydrogen. Based on recent developments in the field
as well as our collective understanding, this Review is devoted to
treating HE as a whole and providing a constructive and systematic
discussion on hydrogen entry, diffusion, trapping, hydrogen–microstructure
interaction mechanisms, and consequences of HE in steels, nickel alloys,
and aluminum alloys used for energy transport and storage. HE in emerging
material systems, such as high entropy alloys and additively manufactured
materials, is also discussed. Priority has been particularly given
to these less understood aspects. Combining perspectives of materials
chemistry, materials science, mechanics, and artificial intelligence,
this Review aspires to present a comprehensive and impartial viewpoint
on the existing knowledge and conclude with our forecasts of various
paths forward meant to fuel the exploration of future research regarding
hydrogen-induced material challenges.

“…The mean value can be even higher than that of the interstitial sites. Adding deep traps such as interfaces between carbides and the metal can bind internal hydrogen and protect the metal from hydrogen embrittlement [34][35][36][37] -as long as there is no external hydrogen source.…”

This manuscript summarizes basic properties of hydrogen in materials, mainly metals, and resulting consequences for the materials properties, including recent developments. It emphasises to introduce into the field of hydrogen in metals in a focused manner. It addresses hydrogen solution in materials, hydride formation, hydrogen diffusion and permeation and the interaction of hydrogen with defects. The influence of hydrogen on the defect energies and consequences for the metal behaviour are addressed. Further, the influence of constraint conditions on the system properties is shortly discussed.
“…Hydrogen is generally considered a kind of point defect in metals and alloys, which can interact with other defects and significantly reduce the ductility of materials even when the H content is quite low. This phenomenon is known as hydrogen embrittlement (HE) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. The detrimental effect of H is a long-standing problem for structural materials.…”
The interaction of metallic glasses (MGs) with hydrogen can trigger many interesting physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena. However, atomic-scale understanding is still lacking. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to study the atomic structure, mechanical properties and relaxation behaviors of H-doped Ni50Al50 MGs doped by two methods. The properties of H-doped MGs are determined not only by the hydrogen content but also by the doping method. When H atoms are doped into the molten state of samples, H atoms can fully diffuse and interact with metallic atoms, resulting in loose local atomic structures, homogeneous deformation and enhanced β relaxation. In contrast, when H atoms are doped into as-cast MGs, the H content is crucial in affecting the atomic structure and mechanical properties. A small number of H atoms has little influence on the elastic matrix, while the percolation of shear transformation zones (STZs) is hindered by H atoms, resulting in the delay of shear band (SB) formation and an insignificant change in the strength. However, a large number of H atoms can make the elastic matrix loose, leading to the decrease in strength and the transition of the deformation mode from SB to homogeneous deformation. The H effects on the elastic matrix and flow units are also applied to the dynamic relaxation. The deformability of H-doped Ni50Al50 MGs is enhanced by both H-doping methods; however, our results reveal that the mechanisms are different.
