Hydrogen evolution on a steel surface and subsequent hydrogen diffusion into the steel matrix are evaluated using an electrochemical permeation test with no applied cathodic current on the hydrogen charging side. In particular, cyclic operation in the permeation test is also conducted to clarify the corrosion-induced hydrogen evolution behavior. In contrast to the conventional perception that the cathodic reduction reaction on the steel in neutral aqueous environments is an oxygen reduction reaction, this study demonstrates that atomic hydrogen may be generated on the steel surface by the corrosion reaction, even in a neutral environment. Although a much lower permeation current density and significant slower diffusion kinetics of hydrogen are observed compared to the results measured in acidic environments, they contribute to the increase in the embrittlement index. This study suggests that the research on hydrogen embrittlement in ultra-strong steels should be approached from the viewpoint of corrosion reactions on the steel surface and subsequent hydrogen evolution/diffusion behavior.

A primary-pipe rupture accident is one of the design-basis accidents of a High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR). When the primary-pipe rupture accident occurs, air is expected to enter the reactor core from the breach and oxidize in-core graphite structures. This paper describes an experiment and analysis of the air ingress phenomena and the method fur the prevention of air ingress into the reactor during the primary-pipe rupture accident. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones regarding the density of the gas mixture, the concentration of each gas species produced by the graphite oxidation reaction and the onset time of the natural circulation of air. A hydrogen production system connected to the High-Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) Is being designed to be able to produce hydrogen by themo-chemical iodine-Sulfur process, using a nuclear heat of 10 MW supplied by the HTTR. The HTTR hydrogen production system is first connected to a nuclear reactor in the world; hence a permeation test of hydrogen isotopes through heat exchanger is carried out to obtain detailed data for safety review and development of analytical codes. This paper also describes an overview of the hydrogen permeation test and permeability of hydrogen and deuterium of Hastelloy XR.

It is well known that SSCC (sulfide stress corrosion cracking) is caused by drastic ingression of hydrogen during the service and accumulation of hydrogen near the potential crack initiation site in the material. It is important to characterize the hydrogen trapping behavior to evaluate the service performance of the high strength pipeline steels. In this study. the relationship between the hydrogen trapping behavior and SSCC susceptibility is evaluated in terms of alloy composition, microstructure and carbide behavior. The hydrogen trapping behavior was measured by electrochemical hydrogen permeation test cell (Devanathan cell). The SSCC susceptibility is evaluated by constant extension rate test and constant strain lest method. The hydrogen trapping behavior is affected greatly by microstructure and nature of carbide particles. The fine TiC, and NbC in the matrix of ferritic structure acts as strong irreversible trap sites whereas the bainitic structure acts as reversible trap site. The SSCC susceptibility is closely related to not only the hydrogen trapping behavior but also the loading condition. As the activity of reversible trap site increases, SSCC susceptibility decreases under static loading condition below yield strength, whereas SSCC susceptibility increases under dynamic loading condition or above yield strength. As the activity of irreversible trap site increases. SSCC susceptibility increases regardless of loading condition. It is cased by the mixed effect of dislocation on hydrogen diffusion and trapping behavior.

니오븀 금속을 기반으로 하는 $Nb_{56}Ti_{23}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막의 수소 투과 특성 및 화학적 안정성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 직경 10 mm, 두께 0.5 mm의 $Nb_{56}Ti_{23}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막을 제작하였으며, 2가지 조성($H_2$ 100%, $H_2$ 60% + $CO_2$ 40%)의 공급가스를 $450^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 투과시킬 때 압력에 따른 수소 투과 특성에 관한 실험을 진행하였다. 본 실험에서의 최대 수소 투과량은 순수한 수소를 투과시킬 경우 절대압력 3 bar에서 $5.58mL/min/cm^2$로 나타났다. 또한 공급가스 조성에 따른 각각의 경우 모두 Sievert's law에 잘 부합하였으며, 이산화탄소와의 혼합가스 사용시, 투과량은 수소 분압 감소에 비례하여 감소하였다. 투과 실험 후 XRD 분석을 통하여 $Nb_{56}Ti_{23}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막의 이산화탄소에 대한 화학적 안정성에 대한 실험을 수행하였다.

This study presented the effect of membrane thickness on hydrogen permeability. Microvoids on the surface of the membrane should not exist for the exact values of hydrogen permeability. Pd-Cu-Ni hydrogen alloy membranes were fabricated by Ni powder sintering, substrate plasma pretreatment, sputtering and Cu reflow process. And this leaded to void-free surface and dense film of Pd-Cu-Ni hydrogen alloy membrane. Hydrogen permeation test showed that hydrogen permeability increased from 2.7 to $15.2ml/cm^2{\cdot}min{\cdot}atm^{0.5}$ as membrane thickness decreased from 12 to $4{\mu}m$. This represented the similar trend as a hydrogen permeability of pure palladium membrane based on solution-diffusion mechanism.

팔라듐이 코팅된 $V_{53}Ti_{26}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막을 통해 수소 투과시 혼합가스의 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 순수 수소, 수소, 이산화탄소 및 일산화탄소의 혼합가스를 공급가스로 주입할 때, $450^{\circ}C$, 1-3 bar의 압력에서 팔라듐이 코팅된 $V_{53}Ti_{26}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막의 수소 투과 실험을 수행하였다. 수소만을 공급한 투과 실험에서 팔라듐 코팅된 $V_{53}Ti_{26}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막(두께: 0.5 mm)의 수소 투과량은 3 bar, $450^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 $5.36mL/min/cm^2$였다. 또한 수소/이산화탄소, 수소/일산화탄소 및 수소/이산화탄소/일산화탄소를 공급한 투과실험에서 $V_{53}Ti_{26}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막의 수소 투과량은 각각 4.46, 5.20, $3.91mL/min/cm^2$였다. 따라서, 수소/이산화탄소, 수소/일산화탄소 및 수소/이산화탄소/일산화탄소 혼합가스를 각각 공급할 때 투과량은 온도와 압력에 상관없이 수소 분압 감소만큼 감소하였고 모든 경우 Sievert 법칙을 잘 만족시켰다. 투과 후 분리막의 XRD 결과로부터 $V_{53}Ti_{26}Ni_{21}$ 합금 분리막은 여러 혼합가스에 대해 안정성과 내구성이 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of conditions for quenching and/or tempering on the corrosion and hydrogen diffusion behavior of ultra-strong automotive steel in terms of the localized plastic strain related to the dislocation density, and the precipitation of iron carbide. In this study, a range of analytical and experimental methods were deployed, such as field emission-scanning electron microscopy, electron back scatter diffraction, electrochemical permeation technique, slow-strain rate test (SSRT), and electrochemical polarization test. The results showed that the hydrogen diffusion parameters involving the diffusion kinetics and hydrogen solubility, obtained from the permeation experiment, could not be directly indicative of the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) occurring under the condition with low hydrogen concentration. The SSRT results showed that the partitioning process, leading to decrease in localized plastic strain and dislocation density in the sample, results in a high resistance to HE-induced by aqueous corrosion. Conversely, coarse iron carbide, precipitated during heat treatment, weakened the long-term corrosion resistance. This can also be a controlling factor for the development of ultra-strong steel with superior corrosion and HE resistance.

Hydrogen storage alloy powder compacts were prepared by using automatic press, with PTFE as a binder. Hydrogen absorption and desorption characteristics and thermal conducting property of the compacts were studied using test hydrogen cylinder, comparing with bare alloy powder. The compacts showed better rate capability and activation characteristics than bare powder. Effective thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the compact bed were $1.0{\times}10^{-2}W/cmK$ and $2.0{\times}10^{-2}cm^2/S$, respectively, which were similar to that of bare powder bed. A good rate capability of the compacts was interpreted in terms of hydrogen permeation rather than thermal conductivity in the beds.

본 연구에서는 복합 수소분리막 중간층의 pin hole, crack 및 defect를 최소화하기 위하여 powder type과 sol type의 금속산화물을 이용하여 복합화하였다. 중간층의 표면 형상과 투과 특성은 주사전자현미경(SEM) 분석과 $N_2$ 투과도 테스트를 통해 평가하였으며, 제조한 수소분리막의 성능평가를 위해 $N_2$와 $H_2$를 이용하여 단일가스 투과 테스트를 수행하였다. Powder type과 sol type의 금속산화물을 각각 이용하여 중간층을 적층한 결과 sol type 금속산화물을 이용하여 적층한 중간층의 표면 조도가 매우 낮았으며, 특히 $TiO_2$ sol로 형성된 중간층의 pin-hole, crack 및 defect가 현저히 감소하였다. Powder와 sol을 복합화하여 적층한 중간층은 sol로 형성된 중간층과 거의 유사한 특성을 보였으며, 이를 기반으로 제조한 수소분리막은 1 bar의 압력구배, 672 K의 온도에서 약 $0.32mol/m^2s$의 수소 투과도를 나타내었으며, 선택도는 약 10,890 이상으로 측정되었다.
