Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to create a group 5 hydrogen separation membrane made into a thin plate by using high pressure allotropic micro-structure control and to improve the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement at low temperature operation by synergistic effect. In addition to hydrogen permeation performance evaluation, ductile-to-brittle transition hydrogen concentration analysis and durability evaluation by in-situ SP (C) test in hydrogen environment have been conducted. Then, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism of expression of unique physical properties by ultrafine grains. As a result, by HPT processing to group 5 metal, the average crystal grain size becomes several hundred nm, and ultrafine crystal structure is formed. Although the existence ratio of the random grain boundary increases with the heat treatment, the hydrogen permeability coefficient is dependent on the grain size, so the grain boundary may function as a high speed diffusion route of hydrogen.
