Abstract
Understanding and solving the problem of hydrogen damage due to the degradation of service performance of high-strengthsteel caused by hydrogen penetration is a milestone for the reliability improvement of high-end hydrogen energy equipment. From the perspective of microscopic hydrogen movement behavior, this study investigated the permeability of hydrogenin base metal (BM) and welded metal (WM) of 2.25Cr–1Mo–0.25 V steel welded joint through electrochemical hydrogenpermeation test, and the analytical models of hydrogen penetration and hydrogen diffusion in the welding zone were established,and the effect of adding hydrogen-resistant coatings (HRCs) on hydrogen movement behavior in steel substrate wasstudied. The results showed that the diffusivity of hydrogen in WM of the welded joint was significantly lower than thatin BM, and the hydrogen concentration in BM was higher than that in WM at the beginning of hydrogenation without theaddition of HRCs protection, while it tended to be consistent at the later stage. However, the hydrogen concentration in WMwas lower than that in BM after adding HRCs and would be always higher than that in BM after a certain period of time,and the difference was directly related to the hydrogen resistance of the coatings. Additionally, the difference between theintermediate and outer layers for the welding zone steel substrate with and without HRCs presented a trend of rapid increasefollowed by a slow decrease. These findings could provide an important reference value for hydrogen damage protectionmeasures and related researches on HRCs.
