氢对45CrNiMoVA钢低周疲劳与断裂行为的影响

    Effect of Hydrogen on Low Cycle Fatigue and Fracture Behavior of 45CrNiMoVA Steel

    • 摘要: 通过原位电化学充氢方法(电流密度0、2和4 mA/cm2)研究了45CrNiMoVA钢的低周疲劳行为及其断裂机制。结果表明:该材料在循环加载过程中呈现出应变幅值依赖的非饱和循环软化现象和non-Masing特性,其中non-Masing行为在低应变幅条件下表现尤为显著。尽管充氢电流密度对材料的循环滞回行为无明显影响,但材料的抗疲劳性能却明显依赖于充氢电流密度大小和应变幅值。随着充氢电流密度的增加,材料内部氢浓度增高,导致疲劳损伤加速累积,且高应变幅工况下氢致寿命劣化效应显著高于低应变幅工况。扫描电镜(SEM)断口分析表明,充氢显著改变了材料的疲劳断裂机制:未充氢试样呈现典型的表面裂纹萌生与韧性断裂特征;而随充氢电流密度和应变幅值的提高,充氢试样的裂纹萌生位置由试样表面向内部缺陷转移,且脆性特征(准解理与沿晶分离形态)显著增强。充氢试样裂纹萌生区与扩展区均呈现韧窝、准解理和沿晶分离形态并存的混合断裂特征。

       

      Abstract: Low cycle fatigue behavior and fracture mechanism of 45 CrNiMoVA steel under in-situ electrochemical hydrogen charging current densities of 0 m A/cm2, 2 m A/cm2 and 4 m A/cm2 were conducted. The results show that45 CrNiMoVA steel exhibits unsaturated cyclic softening closely related to strain amplitude and non-Masing characteristics during cyclic loading, and the non-Masing characteristics are more significant at small strain amplitudes. Although the hydrogen charging current density has negligible effect on the cyclic hysteresis behavior of materials, but the fatigue resistance of materials is significantly dependent on the magnitude of H-charging current density and strain amplitude. Specifically, the higher the current density, the higher the hydrogen concentration inside the material, and the more severe the fatigue damage caused to the material. Notably, hydrogen induced fatigue life degradation is more pronounced under high-strain amplitude conditions compared to the low-strain amplitudes. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) fracture analysis shows that the hydrogen charging obviously changes the fatigue fracture mechanism: the specimen without hydrogen charging exhibits a typical surface crack initiation and ductile fracture characteristics; as the hydrogen charging current density and strain amplitude increase, the crack initiation position of the hydrogen charged specimen shifts from the surface to the internal defect position, and the brittle characteristics of quasi-cleavage and intergranular separation morphology become more obvious. The crack initiation zone and propagation zone of the hydrogen charged specimen exhibit mixed fracture characteristics with the coexistence of dimples, quasi-cleavage and intergranular separation morphologies.
