摘要
A novel approach of in-situ micro-cantilever bending tests is introduced, integrating nanoindentation and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) to elucidate hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in FeAl. Bending tests were performed in vacuum (similar to 5 x 10(-4) Pa) and in ESEM with water vapor (180 Pa, 450 Pa) conditions,which introduce H in-situ into the cantilevers during the test. Micro-scale In-situ SEM testing provides a full control of all the parameters involved in HE as well as avoids the proximity effect from the free surface, which is always criticized in nano-scale in-situ TEM experiments. Both hydrogen induced cracking and hydrogen reduced flow stress were observed. (C) 2016 Acta Materialia Inc Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
