Hydrogen transport by dislocations

Metallurgical Transactions A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A kinetic model is presented for the transport of hydrogen, as Cottrell atmospheres on dislocation, at a rate appreciably in excess of that for lattice diffusion. The particular destinations for the hydrogen which are modeled here are ductile fracture initiation sites such as inclusions and microvoids. The functional predictions of the mechanism are shown to be consistent with available experimental evidence on ductile fracture behavior in the presence of hydrogen.
