The Effect of Plastic Deformation on the Transport of Hydrogen in Nickel
Abstract
The permeation of hydrogen into crystalline metals may occur in part by lattice diffusion, by grain boundary (or other short circuit) diffusion, or, in the case of specimens undergoing plastic deformation, by dislocation transport. In this work, electrochemical permeation measurements indicate that the apparent diffusivity of hydrogen is increased by several orders of magnitude when permeation specimens are plastically deformed and simultaneously charged with hydrogen.
