Evaluation of microstructural and environmental effects on the hydrogen uptake and desorption in high-strength carbon steels: A thermal desorption spectroscopy study
The hydrogen uptake in three high-strength carbon steels is studied after exposure to three different environments: an aqueous solution with CO2 bubbling, CO2/H2S bubbling, and cathodic charging without external gassing. The hydrogen uptake is substantially higher in CO2/H2S environment compared to CO2 environment for all materials. The lamellar cementite morphology absorbs higher hydrogen than the material with spheroidite microstructure with similar carbon content. The corrosion layer formed on the steels in CO2 environment strongly affects the hydrogen effusion and the thermal desorption spectroscopy spectrum in all materials, while the corrosion layer formed in CO2/H2S environment does not show this effect.
