Abstract
Microstructural changes induced by a hydrogen permeation into the NiTi superelastic alloy were investigated in-situ using the X-ray synchrotron diffraction. A new design of an electrochemical cell enabled to uncover time and position dependent processes under a flat alloy surface exposed to the cathodic hydrogen. The diffraction data supported by thermo-elastic FEM calculations helped to quantify an evolution of compressive stresses in the B2 austenitic phase hosting hydrogen atoms. The compressive stress state initiates a formation of martensitic phases starting from the exposed surface layer and advancing into the alloy volume with increasing time of hydrogen charging. We have performed the ab-initio DFT study in order to rationalize volumetric changes associated with variations in the B2 austenite and B19′ martensite lattice parameters. The numerical results also contributed to the identification of a new hydride phase with orthorhombic crystal structure and lattice parameters a = 0.8505 nm, b = 0.7366 nm and c = 0.4722 nm.
