Abstract This work is aimed at the direct and inverse analysis of hydrogen permeation in steels employing a novel anomalous diffusion model. For the inverse analysis, experimental data for hydrogen permeation in a 13% chromium martensitic stainless steel, available in the literature [Turnbull, Carroll and Ferriss (1989)], was employed within the Bayesian framework for inverse problems. The comparison between the predicted values and the available experimental data demonstrates the feasibility of the new model in adequately describing the physical phenomena occurring in this particular problem.

Abstract Damage cascades representative of those that would be induced by neutron irradiation have been simulated in systems of pure iron and iron containing 0.01 at.% hydrogen. Results from molecular dynamics simulations using three different embedded-atom method (EAM) type potentials are compared for primary knock-on atom energies of 5, 10, and 20 keV to assess the effect of hydrogen on the primary damage state. We examine the influence of hydrogen on the primary damage state due to a single radiation cascade. These results can serve as an atomistic database for methods and simulations for long time scale evolution of radiation damage. More >
