Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 43The Role of Hydrogen in the Edge Dislocation Mobility and Grain Boundary-Dislocation Interaction in Α-Fe(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-09) Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Schoen, J. Christian; Bal, Burak; Schön, J. ChristianThe atomistic mechanisms of dislocation mobility depending on the presence of hydrogen were investigated for two edge dislocation systems that are active in the plasticity of alpha-Fe, specifically 1/2<111>{110} and 1/2<111>{112}. In particular, the glide of the dislocation pile-ups through a single crystal, as well as transmission of the pile-ups across the grain boundary were evaluated in bcc iron crystals that contain hydrogen concentrations in different amounts. Additionally, the uniaxial tensile response under a constant strain rate was analyzed for the aforementioned structures. The results reveal that the presence of hydrogen decreases the velocity of the dislocations -in contrast to the commonly invoked HELP (Hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity) mechanism-, although some localization was observed near the grain boundary where dislocations were pinned by elastic stress fields. In the presence of pre-exisiting dislocations, hydrogen-induced hardening was observed as a consequence of the restriction of the dislocation mobility under uniaxial tension. Furthermore, it was observed that hydrogen accumulation in the grain boundary suppresses the formation of new grains that leads to a hardening response in the stress-strain behaviour which can initiate brittle fracture points.

Three types of materials in the form of Raw 4340 steel, Chromium electroplated 4340 steel, and Chromium electroplated and baked 4340 steel are used in order to shed light on the aforementioned processes. Mechanical and microstructural analyses are carried out to observe the effects of hydrogen diffusion. Mechanical analyses show that the tensile strength and hardness of the specimens deteriorate after the chrome-electroplating process due to the presence of atomic hydrogen. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are carried out for material characterization. Microstructural analyses reveal that hydrogen enters into the material with chromium electroplating process, and baking after chromium electroplating process is an effective way to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Additionally, the effects of hydrogen on the tensile response of alpha-Fe-based microstructure with a similar chemical composition of alloying elements are simulated through molecular dynamics (MD) method.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Edge Dislocation Depinning From Hydrogen Atmosphere in Α-Iron(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024-07) Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Yu, Ping; Marian, Jaime; Liu, Guisen; Shen, Yao; Li, Yang; Bal, BurakUnderstanding the dislocation motion in hydrogen atmosphere is essential for revealing the hydrogen-related degradation in metallic materials. Atomic simulations were adopted to investigate the interaction between dislocations and hydrogen atoms, where the realistic hydrogen distribution in the vicinity of the dislocation core was emulated from the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo computations. The depinning of edge dislocations in alpha-Fe at different temperatures and hydrogen concentrations was then studied using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The results revealed that an increase in bulk hydrogen concentration increases the flow stress due to the pinning effect of solute hydrogen. The depinning stress was found to decrease due to the thermal activation of the edge dislocation at higher temperatures. In addition, prediction of the obtained results was performed by an elastic model that can correlate the bulk hydrogen concentration to depinning stress.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4A Phenomenological Hydrogen Induced Edge Dislocation Mobility Law for Bcc Fe Obtained by Molecular Dynamics(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024-10) Baltacioglu, Mehmet Furkan; Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Schoen, J. Christian; Marian, Jaime; Bal, Burak; Schön, J. ChristianInvestigating the interaction between hydrogen and dislocations is essential for understanding the origin of hydrogen-related fractures, specifically hydrogen embrittlement (HE). This study investigates the effect of hydrogen on the mobility of 1/2<111>{110} and 1/2<111>{112} edge dislocations in body-centered cubic (BCC) iron (Fe). Specifically, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted at various stress levels and temperatures for hydrogen-free and hydrogen-containing lattices. The results show that hydrogen significantly reduces dislocation velocities due to the pinning effect. Based on the results of MD simulations, phenomenological mobility laws for both types of dislocations as a function of stress, temperature and hydrogen concentration are proposed. Current findings provide a comprehensive model for predicting dislocation behavior in hydrogencontaining BCC lattices, thus enhancing the understanding of HE. Additionally, the mobility laws can be utilized in dislocation dynamics simulations to investigate hydrogen-dislocation interactions on a larger scale, aiding in the design of HE-resilient materials for industrial applications.
