Abstract
The problem of brittle fracture induced by hydrogen ingress from environment must be considered for some high-strength alloys, particularly for the superalloys strengthened by [gamma][prime] precipitation, used in fields such as aerospace and nuclear power. Therefore, a number of studies on hydrogen performance of superalloys have been recently carried out. The understanding of hydrogen transport characteristics in these alloys is important to clarify the hydrogen embrittlement mechanism. Although hydrogen permeabilities and diffusivities of some superalloys have been reported, the study of the hydrogen permeation and diffusion in Incoloy 907 alloy, a type of Fe-Ni-Co based superalloy, is still absent to date. In the present work, a gaseous permeation technique was employed to measure hydrogen permeability and diffusivity in this alloy, in order to understand the relationship between hydrogen permeation and microstructure.
