Research of the resistance and prevention of modern structural materials against hydrogen embrittlement | |
Program: | VEGA |
Project leader: | Ing. Falat Ladislav, PhD. |
Annotation: | The aim of the project is to investigate the susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of structural metallicmaterials based on Fe (i.e. modern grades of carbon and alloy steels) as well as selected alloys or compositesbased on non-ferrous metals (e.g. Al, Cu, Mg, etc.) by the method of electrochemical hydrogen charging andmechanical testing in laboratory conditions. The microstructural conditionality of hydrogen embrittlement will be investigated on defined material states with characteristic microstructural parameters (grain size, phase composition, etc.). The possibilities of HE prevention will be investigated using available methods of surface modification (layers and coatings, surface alloying, formation of gradient structures, etc.) of basic materials inorder to apply a barrier effect against hydrogen permeability. |
