Abstract
This study investigates the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity and brittle failure mechanism of selective laser-melted GH4169 alloy under hydrogen precharged conditions. Fractographic analysis reveals that a high concentration of hydrogen facilitates the formation of small quasi-cleavage steps near the fracture edge. Additionally, hydrogen promotes the migration of {111} planar dislocations, resulting in shear failure of the δ phases and the nucleation of microvoids. These microvoids then propagate, leading to the development of hydrogen-assisted transgranular cracks along the dislocation slip bands. The deformation behaviors of the δ and γ" phases were characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.
