説明

<p>In Al-Zn-Mg alloy, hydrogen (H) leads remarkably to the degradation of mechanical properties. It is indispensable to suppress this phenomenon called hydrogen embrittlement (HE) for developing the high-strength Al-Zn-Mg alloy. Because intergranular fracture (IGF) is mainly observed when HE occurs in the alloy, we need to understand the initiation behavior of IGF in order to suppress HE. Heterogeneous distribution of stress, strain and H concentration usually influence the IGF initiation in polycrystalline material. In the present study, we investigated distribution of stress, strain, and H concentration in actual fractured regions by simulation employing a crystal plasticity finite element method and H diffusion analysis in a 3D image-based model, which was created based on 3D polycrystalline microstructure data obtained from X-ray imaging technique. Combining the simulation and in-situ observation of the tensile test sample by X-ray CT, we examined the distribution of stress, strain, and H concentration in actual crack initiation behavior. Based on this, the condition for intergranular crack initiation were discussed. As a result, it is revealed that stress normal to grain boundary induced by crystal plasticity dominates intergranular crack initiation. In contrast, accumulation of internal H due to the stress has little impact on crack initiation.</p><p> </p><p>This Paper was Originally Published in Japanese in J. JILM 73 (2023) 530–536.
