Nanoindentation Study on the Local Evaluation of Hydrogen-Induced Hardening Performance of Ferrite and Austenite in 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel: Experiment and Finite Element Modeling
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, a combined experimental and finite element modeling methodology (FEM) for a nanoindentation study is presented to quantitatively investigate the influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of ferrite and austenite in 2205 duplex stainless steel. The experimental results showed that, during hydrogen charging, the nano-hardness of ferrite and austenite gradually increased with time, showing a hydrogen-induced hardening phenomenon. After 3 h of hydrogen charging, the nano-hardness of both ferrite and austenite reached a saturation state, and the values of the nano-hardness of ferrite and austenite increased by 17.5% and 46.1%, respectively. FEM is employed by using a dual-phase microstructure-based model to reproduce nanoindentation load–displacement curves. To minimize the indentation size effect, an analytical correction model considering geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) was proposed. By considering GNDs, the errors between numerical predictions and experimental data reduced from about 50% to less than 5%.
