Abstract
Hydrogen diffusivity in Custom 465® martensitic precipitation hardened stainless steel is determined using electrochemical permeation tests. Hydrogen diffusivity in the solution annealed (SA) condition is approximately 10 times higher than in the aged H900 (480 °C, 4 h) condition because of hydrogen traps such as Ni3Ti nano-precipitates and reverted austenite. The microstructure of the alloy is characterized by TEM, XRD and ESEM/EBSD, both in the aged H900 and in the SA conditions. In the aged condition, η-Ni3Ti nano-precipitates with hexagonal structure and a rod-like shape are observed. In addition, reverted austenite is found at grain boundaries and inter-lath interfaces. In the SA condition, these microstructural features are not evident, which may explain the higher diffusivity measured. The diffusivity is almost unaffected by prior microplastic deformation of H900.
