Abstract
We elucidate the hydrogen diffusivity in martensite matrix with retained austenite (RA). Two aspects are focused: effect of microstructure on hydrogen diffusion behavior; hydrogen diffusivity calculation for different microstructural components. Quenched martensite (QM) had the highest effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient because of high dislocation density. Effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient decreased with the increase of intercritical annealing temperature because of decrease in dislocation density and increase of RA. According to the principle of Maxwell-Garnett equation, the hydrogen diffusion coefficient for grain boundary (GB) was 7.99 × 10−8 m2/s and hydrogen diffusion coefficient of tempered martensite (TM) was 7.84 × 10−11 m2/s.
