Abstract

Abstract {A514} offshore structural steel was exposed to hydrostatic pressure ranging from 0.1 to 40 {MPa} to examine hydrogen permeation during galvanostatic hydrogen charging. Hydrostatic pressure decreases the energy barrier for hydrogen absorption and desorption, while increasing hydrogen adsorption. These effects are induced by both steady-state current density and the apparent diffusivity slight increase with hydrostatic pressure. Taking surface effect of hydrogen permeation into account, the intrinsic diffusivity of (3.2
