The increasing demand on lightweight structures requires high-strength materials. However, with increasing strength many materials show an increasing susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Hence, it is of vital interest to understand the mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement.
Hence, we tried to study the
interaction between crystal defects (e.g. grain
boundaries and dislocations) with hydrogen atoms. For this reason, we developed
several techniques in order to quantify
the impact of hydrogen on material properties like elastic modulus,
hardness, activation energy for dislocation nucleation
and diffusion of hydrogen. Furthermore, emphasis was also laid on the
global and local detection of hydrogen. Results of
this work could be used for GB engineering by thermo-mechanical processing
or new sophisticated processing techniques
to generate a high fraction of special grain boundaries that exhibit a
strong resistance to embrittlement.
