摘要

Nickel-based superalloys such as Inconel 718 are essential in aerospace due to their strength, high-temperature performance, and resistance to corrosion, and fatigue. With the shift to hydrogen as a sustainable aviation fuel, understanding their tribological behavior in hydrogen exposure is essential. This study examined hydrogen-exposed Inconel 718 under ambient conditions against an Inconel 718 using a ball-on-flat tribometer. Ex-situ analyses (confocal microscopy, SEM, micro-Raman spectroscopy) showed no significant changes in friction or wear compared to non-exposed samples. This is attributed to the removal of a hydrogen-modified surface layer during initial sliding, accompanied by localized plastic deformation, including slip and twinning.
