Abstract

In this study, the diffusion behaviors of hydrogen atoms in Fe-13Cr-6Al-2Mo and Fe-13Cr-6Al-2Mo-0.5Nb alloys were studied by the electrochemical hydrogen permeation method. The effects of 0.5% Nb (mass fraction) added to the alloy on the diffusion behavior of hydrogen atoms in the Fe-13Cr-6Al-2Mo alloy were analyzed. Results showed that the grain of the alloy was refined, and a large amount of fine Fe$_2$Nb phase was dispersed in the Fe-13Cr-6Al-2Mo alloy when 0.5% Nb was added. The results also showed that 0.5% Nb greatly reduced the apparent diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the Fe-13Cr-6Al-2Mo alloy and increased the diffusion activation energy of hydrogen in the alloy by 50.3%. The Nb atom effectively reduced the diffusion rate of hydrogen in the FeCrAlMo-based alloy by increasing the hydrogen trap concentration in the alloy.
