Effect of Degree of Order on Hydrogen Diffusion in (Fe,Ni)3V Alloys
The effect of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of disordered and ordered (Fe,Ni)3V alloys has been investigated. The diffusion behaviors of hydrogen in the disordered and ordered (Fe,Ni)3V alloys were reported. The results showed that the depth of intergranular (IG) fracture on a surface of tensile fracture of (Fe,Ni)3V alloy increased linearly with increasing pre-charging temperature at the same pre-charging time. An apparent hydrogen diffusion coefficient was calculated by the time lag method. The apparent hydrogen diffusion coefficient in the disordered (Fe,Ni)3V alloy was greater than that in the ordered (Fe,Ni)3V alloy. The relationship between the apparent hydrogen diffusion coefficient and pre-charging temperature in (Fe,Ni)3V alloy agreed with Arrhenius equation. The activation energies of apparent hydrogen diffusion in the disordered and ordered (Fe,Ni)3V alloys were 34.6 kJ/mol and 42.2 kJ/mo1, respectively.
