Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hydrogen penetrates in the material as an atom and causes the hydrogen embrittlement. However the mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement has not been clarified yet. This may be due to the difficulty of experimental detection of hydrogen distribution. Furthermore, fracture morphology depends on the material, the environment and load condition. In this study, hydrogen distribution in the material was estimated by a numerical analysis. Moreover, hydrogen embrittlement tests under fatigue condition were conducted using hydrogen charged specimens. For fatigue tests, the stainless steel was used. On the basis of these results, the relationship between the hydrogen concentration behavior and the hydrogen embrittlement behavior was clarified. Additionally, the sensitivity of hydrogen embrittlement was estimated quantitatively based on crack growth rate and fracture morphology by fractography.
