| Abstract Scope |
For the future hydrogen-based clean energy economy, austenitic stainless steels (γ-SS) are increasingly demanded for transporting and storing hydrogen due to their excellent corrosion and fracture resistance. However, γ-SSs may suffer from significant hydrogen-induced degradation, i.e., hydrogen embrittlement (HE) depending on the austenite stability, local H concentration, and H-induced deformation mechanisms. In order to establish a basis for the rational design and fabrication of γ-SSs with improved HE resistance, it is essential to gain insight into the HE mechanism by clarifying the interaction of hydrogen with various microstructure features in γ-SSs at the atomic scale. In this talk, we will highlight our results on visualizing and quantifying the hydrogen trapping sites in model and commercial γ-SSs using a state-of-the-art cryogenic transfer atom probe tomography (LEAP 6000XR). The effects of deformation and H concentration on the HE in γ-SSs will be elucidated based on detailed microstructure analysis. |
