Modelling of hydrogen diffusion in a steel containing micro-porosity. Application to the permeation experiment
Résumé
Two numerical models based on non-equilibrium and local equilibrium approaches respectively were developed to simulate hydrogen transport in porous metals, taking account of gaseous hydrogen trapping inside the micro-porosities. They were applied to the case of hydrogen permeation in a cast steel at room temperature. Numerical simulations revealed that the two models are equivalent under certain conditions. A parametric analysis was performed to explore the effect of external hydrogen fugacity, hydrogen solubility and porosity fraction on the hydrogen diffusion behavior. A comparison between experimental permeation data and the numerical results showed reasonable agreement considering no input parameter was adjusted.
