Environmentally assisted cracking can significantly affect the performance of high strength alloys and limit material selection to minimize the risk of subcritical crack growth in service. UNS N07718 is widely used in marine service applications and under a variety of conditions, such as: alternate immersion, different levels of cathodic protection, and freely corroding galvanic couples, because of its demonstrated corrosion and fracture resistance in these environments. In this work we developed a representative model of the material microstructure including the metal grains, the material texture, and the precipitates along the grain boundaries and within the grains. The microstructural model was subjected to the boundary conditions identified at the notch root of a fracture mechanics sample and the results are used as input for a simulation of hydrogen diffusion from the surface of the notch, assuming the material has been introduced to a hydrogen producing environment. The diffusion of hydrogen was modeled by Fick's law and included both hydrostatic stress and mobile dislocation velocity as driving forces. The influence of immobile dislocations was also modeled to account for the irreversible trapping. The results show that hydrostatic stress and immobile dislocation trapping can significantly alter the highest concentration of hydrogen and its location within the microstructure towards the fracture process zone. Mobile dislocation velocity has a small influence in determining the hydrogen distribution near the fracture process zone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
