Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立海洋大學 === 船舶機械工程學系 === 82 === It is well known that steels are susceptible to hydrogen degradation and corrosiondamage in wet sulfide environment. Approachs employed by researchers to minimize the hydrogen embrittlement problem include materials selection,design,in- hibitors,surface modification and control of microstructure. Currently, inhibitors are extensively used for various types of corrosion, but the use of inhibitor is an undeveloped control technique for hydrogen embrittlement. In this study, electrochemical hydrogen permeation technique was used to evaluate the effect of the addition of sixteen chemical additives on hydrogen absorption in steel to improve the hydrogen embrittlement resistance. A corrosion measurement was also performed to search for an effective inhibitors for both corrosion control and hydrogen degradation in wet sulfide environments. The permeation results show that addition of ferric , ferrous , copper , zinc and nickel ions to wet sulfide environments are benefitial for hydrogen embrittlement resistance of steel, but ferric , copper and nickel ions may cause the accelerated corrosion of steel.Hydrogen permeation data are slightly affected by addition of manganese, magnesium, calcium, chloride, sulfate and thiosulfate ions. Vanadium pentoxide exhibits a hydrogen poison effect for steel. Chromate , molybdate and thiourea are corrosion inhi- bitors, also show cathodic poison effect.
