摘要

Through investigating the influence of electrochemically charged hydrogen on microstructural damage and corrosion performance of an as-cast Ti–6Al–4V (in wt.%) alloy, it demonstrated that after being performed hydrogen-charging for 4 h at an applied current density value of 50 mA/cm2, micro cracks were preferentially presented in α-Ti phase and at interfaces between α-Ti and β-Ti phases. Moreover, the quantity of cracks increased with extending the hydrogen-charging time. Failure analysis demonstrated that micro cracks were caused by the formation of needle-like δ-TiH2 hydride. For 4 h-charged sample, all of the exposed α-Ti phase can be changed into hydrides, resulting in the formation of a layer of hydride with the thickness value of 5 μm. After hydrogen-charging for 8 and 16 h, the thicknesses values of formed hydride layers were 8 and 18 μm, respectively. Due to anodic dissolution of hydrides, the corrosion resistance of charged samples was degraded. The determined current density values of the uncharged, 4 h-charged, 8 h-charged and 16 h-charged samples were 34.7, 42.3, 50.7 and 63.4 nA/cm2, respectively.
