Abstract
Critical assessment of the existing models for the desorption rate of hydrogen trapped in steel indicated that the desorption rate can be described by the kinetic formula dX/dt=A(1-X) exp (-E d /RT). Good fit of the formula has been found to the hydrogen released during thermal-desorption spectrometry (TDS) analysis from the coherent and incoherent TiC particles in 0.05C-0.22Ti-2.0Ni and 0.42C-0.30Ti steels. The activation energy (E d ) and the constant parameter A can be determined uniquely with high accuracy by a single spectrum simulation. The activation energy for hydrogen desorption from the incoherent TiC particle in the well-tempered 0.05C-0.22Ti-2.0Ni steel is 85.7 kJ/mol. In the 0.42C-0.30Ti steel, a higher activation energy of 116 kJ/mol was obtained for the coarse incoherent TiC when tempered at 650 °C and 700 °C. The activation energy decreased from 116 kJ/mol at 650 °C to 68 kJ/mol at 500 °C. The nanosized TiC coherent precipitates in the 0.42C-0.30Ti steel were found to have an activation energy ranging from 46 to 59 kJ/mol, depending on the tempering temperature. A low value of much less than 104 s−1 was obtained for the constant parameter A for most cases, which suggested that the retrap** of the released hydrogen is not important in the thermal-desorption analysis.
