A study on reducing hydrogen content in steel using ultrasonic cavitation process
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, a novel process utilizing ultrasonic cavitation(UC) was proposed to decrease hydrogen content in steel. Electrochemical hydrogen-charging and UC were performed on steels with different elemental species and ratios, and hydrogen embrittlement(HE) susceptibility was evaluated by slow strain rate tensile(SSRT). UC effectively reduced hydrogen-induced plasticity loss by removing hydrogen trapped by traps, particularly in SA508Gr.3. Dehydrogenation effects and recovery mechanisms were explored. Hydrogen trapped by low-energy traps played a critical role in hydrogen-induced hardening. The cleavage platforms of the specimen after UC was reduced, but a large number of microcracks appeared in the fracture due to residual hydrogen.
