  1. 1. Hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion behavior of low-temperature carburized austenitic stainless steel

    Author : Xiao Qin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low-temperature carburising; hydrogen embrittlement; Austenitic stainless steel; microstructure; corrosion behavior; expanded austenite;

    Abstract : For metallic components used in hydrogen environments, hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion have always been important considering potential failure risks. Among many metallic materials, austenitic stainless steel has found broad application because of its excellent corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement resistance. READ MORE

  2. 2. Delayed Hydride Cracking in Irradiated Zircaloy

    Author : Pål Efsing; Kjell Pettersson; Christopher Coleman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrides; hydrogen; embrittlement; delayed cracking; fracture toughness; fracture resistance; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Under some circumstances nuclear fuel cladding tubes made from zirconium based alloys may develop long axial cracks. The formation of these cracks is mainly thought to be connected with the oxiditian and hydriding of the cladding which takes plage after the the formation of a small primary defect. READ MORE

  3. 3. High temperature corrosion of low-alloyed and stainless steels: mechanistic study of chlorine-induced corrosion

    Author : Mercedes Andrea Olivas Ogaz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stainless steels; low-alloyed steels; pre-oxidation; High temperature corrosion; chlorine-induced corrosion;

    Abstract : The global demand on power generation is constantly increasing and so far, also its environmental impact. The environmental impact could primarily be directed to the power generation being based on fossil fuels, giving a net increase of CO2 to the atmosphere when combusted. READ MORE

  4. 4. Laser Based Powder Bed Fusion of Plain Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels: Microstructure and Processability

    Author : William Hearn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Low-Alloy Steel; Additive Manufacturing; Lack of Fusion Porosity; Laser Based Powder Bed Fusion; Plain Carbon Steel; Intrinsic Heat Treatment; Keyhole Porosity; Cold Cracking;

    Abstract : Despite the prominence of laser based powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) as an additive manufacturing technique, the number of alloys that have been approved for the process remains limited. In traditional manufacturing, ferrous alloys are the most common alloy group, consisting primarily of plain carbon and low-alloy steels. READ MORE

  5. 5. Influence of hydrogen on corrosion and stress induced cracking of stainless steel

    Author : Ulf Kivisäkk; Christofer Leygraf; Roy Johnsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrogen; corrosion; hydrogen embrittlement; stainless steels; uniform corrosion; activation; dewpoint corrosion; low temperature creep; plastic deformation; microhardness; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Abstract : Hydrogen is the smallest element in the periodical table. It has been shown in several studies that hydrogen has a large influence on the corrosion and cracking behaviour of stainless steels. Hydrogen is involved in several of the most common cathode reactions during corrosion and can also cause embrittlement in many stainless steels. READ MORE
