The hydrogen partial pressure has a significant impact on the fracture toughness and fatigue life of high strength pipeline steel. As the hydrogen partial pressure increases, both fracture toughness and fatigue life decrease, with the decrease trends gradually flattening out. Hydrogen has a larger effect on fatigue life compared to fracture toughness.
In this work, we investigate the influence mechanism of hydrogen partial pressure on fracture toughness and fatigue life of a high strength pipeline steel. Both fracture toughness test and fatigue life test are carried out under different hydrogen partial pressure. The experimental results show that with the increasing of hydrogen partial pressure, fracture toughness and fatigue life decrease and the decrease trends gradually flatten out. Hydrogen has a larger effect on fatigue life than fracture toughness. Only 3% hydrogen gas can cause a 67.7% decrease of fatigue life. The in-situ hydrogen permeation test is performed respectively in 2 MPa, 5 MPa and 8 MPa hydrogen partial pressure. With the increasing of hydrogen partial pressure, the increase trend of hydrogen permeation current gradually tends to be gentle, which indicates that the hydrogen atoms entering into the material gradually become saturated. This result can be used to clarify the influence mechanism of hydrogen partial pressure on fracture toughness and fatigue life. (c) 2021 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
