Correlation between vanadium carbide size and hydrogen trapping in ferritic steel

Correlation between vanadium carbide size and hydrogen trapping in ferritic steel

Hydrogen trapping on vanadium carbides (VC) was studied in a low-carbon ferritic steel. Thermal desorption analysis was performed on two conditions with different carbide sizes but identical volume fractions. Smaller carbides with a higher effective surface area trapped significantly more hydrogen. A correlation between carbide size and hydrogen trap density was established, suggesting that trapping is surface-dominant and a scaling law for trap density was derived. The amount of trapped hydrogen was overall much lower than previously reported for VC-containing martensitic steels. It is therefore suggested that in the absence of a dislocated matrix VC traps relatively little hydrogen.

Abstract

Hydrogen trapping on vanadium carbides (VC) was studied in a low-carbon ferritic steel. Thermal desorption analysis was performed on two conditions with different carbide sizes but identical volume fractions. Smaller carbides with a higher effective surface area trapped significantly more hydrogen. A correlation between carbide size and hydrogen trap density was established, suggesting that trapping is surface-dominant and a scaling law for trap density was derived. The amount of trapped hydrogen was overall much lower than previously reported for VC-containing martensitic steels. It is therefore suggested that in the absence of a dislocated matrix VC traps relatively little hydrogen.
