[pt] O desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias com Hidrogênio como fonte de energia ressalta um antigo desafio nos meios de transporte e armazenamento desse, visto que todos materiais estruturais têm susceptibilidade a fragilização pelo hidrogênio. A forma usual de resolver esse problema é o uso de materiais nobres e mais resistentes a fragilização pelo hidrogênio. Uma alternativa para o dimensionamento mecânico em condições de fragilização pelo hidrogênio vem da modelagem de trincas curtas através da mecânica da fratura linear elástica ou Elasto-Plástica. Esses modelos consideram dois parâmetros do material, o Limite de Resistência ao Trincamento Assistido pelo Ambiente e o Limiar de Propagação de Trincas no meio. Nesse trabalho o modelo proposto é validado experimentalmente em condições de Corrosão sob Tensão Induzida por Sulfetos (aço de alta resistência e baixa liga e o aço inoxidável super martensítico UNS S41426 expostos ao sulfeto de hidrogênio), bem como o aço 17-4PH em 200bar(g) de H2. O método de teste T-WOL recomendado no código ASME BPVC para a obtenção da tenacidade à fratura sob alta pressão de H2 é avaliada para materiais com alta tenacidade, a qual não apresentou bons resultados. Como alternativa, uma metodologia modificada a partir da norma ASTM E1820 para obter a curva J-R em H2 a alta pressão é testada, obtendo o limiar de propagação de trincas em condições Elasto-Plásticas. Durante as atividades, uma célula de carga utilizada no interior da autoclave de teste falhou quando exposta a 200bar(g) de H2. Foi realizada análise de falha e redimensionamento, conforme o modelo de trincas curtas proposto, para que células semelhantes pudessem ser utilizadas nos testes subsequentes / [en] The development of new technologies with hydrogen as an energy source underscores a longstanding challenge in its transportation and storage, since all structural materials are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. The usual approach to solve this problem is to use nobler materials more resistant to hydrogen embrittlement. An alternative approach to mechanical design under hydrogen embrittlement conditions involves the modeling of the behavior of short cracks through linear elastic or elastoplastic fracture mechanics. These models consider two key material parameters: the Environmental Assisted Cracking Resistance Limit and the Crack Propagation Threshold in the environment. In this study, the proposed model is validated by suitable tests under sulfide stress corrosion cracking - High Strength and Low Alloy steel and a supermartensitic stainless steel UNS S41426 exposed to hydrogen sulfide, and in a 17-4PH steel exposed to high-pressure gaseous hydrogen, at 200 bar(g) of H2. A T-WOL test methodology recommended in ASME BPVC code for measuring the fracture toughness at high pressure of H2 for materials with high toughness is evaluated, and it yields unsatisfactory results. As an alternative, a modified ASTM E1820 test method is proposed to obtain the J-R curve under high-pressure H2, obtaining the crack propagation threshold at elastoplastic conditions. During these activities, a load cell used within the test autoclave failed when exposed to 200 bar(g) of H2. Failure analysis and a new design were conducted according the short crack tolerance model, to allow the use of similar load cells in the following tests.

Les viroles en acier microallié 18MND5, destinées aux générateurs de vapeur, présentent une composition hétérogène à plusieurs échelles. Un écart au procédé de fabrication ou une teneur en hydrogène excessive, peuvent conduire à la formation des Décohésions Dues à l’Hydrogène. Ces DDH résultent de la désorption de l’hydrogène interne lors du refroidissement jusqu’à température ambiante. La pression interne n’étant pas mesurables expérimentalement, une modélisation du phénomène est requise. Afin de préciser les mécanismes sous-jacents, il est proposé un scénario de formation de ces défauts s’appuyant conjointement sur une expertise et la modélisation des processus de diffusion-désorption-propagation. Les observations ont révélé une corrélation entre les DDH, les zones ségrégées et les amas de MnS (sites préférentiels d’initiation). Un modèle de diffusion dans un milieu hétérogène a été proposé afin d’évaluer la pression interne associée. La pression maximale excède ainsi 8600 bar en considérant une loi d’Abel-Noble optimisée du gaz réel. Le couplage de ce modèle avec la mécanique de la rupture a permis de quantifier l’évolution des paramètres relatifs à la propagation (pression interne, taille finale, vitesse, …). Un scénario de formation des DDH industriel a ainsi pu être formulé sur la base d’une étude paramétrique. Bien que les simulations préliminaires corroborent le retour d’expérience, le modèle raffiné et la prise en compte du gonflement de la DDH semblent sous-estimer la cinétique. Le caractère multi-fissuré des amas de MnS (homogénéisation des propriétés mécaniques) associé à un critère de rupture à l’échelle locale permettrait d’ajuster ce modèle. / Heat generators are manufactured from ingots of 18MND5 (A508cl3) low alloy steel and present composition heterogeneities at different scales. Under specific conditions (non-respect of guidelines or high initial content of H), Hydrogen Induced Cracks (HIC) may result from diffusion-desorption of internal hydrogen during cooling down to room temperature. Since neither hydrogen redistribution nor its internal pressure within cavities could be measured by experimental techniques, quantitative investigation is based on the modelling of related physical phenomena. A scenario of HIC formation, based on industrial feedback and modelling, has been proposed. A correlation between these defects, segregated areas and clusters of MnS (preferred initiation sites) has been revealed by expertise of HIC. A model of diffusion in heterogeneous alloys has then been proposed to assess the maximal pressure of H2 in such HIC. Simulation has shown that internal pressures above 860MPa are reached by considering an optimized Abel-Noble real gas behavior. The previous model has then been coupled to a failure mechanics procedure to characterize and quantify the crack growth parameters. Based on a parametric study, a scenario of HIC formation during the cooling has been proposed regarding process. Although results from preliminary simulations matched with feedback, the refined model based on the pressure induced elastic deformation of HIC has been developed but provided an underestimated kinetic of crack growth. Consequently, the multi-cracked nature of MnS clusters (homogenization of mechanical properties) and the updated local failure criterion appear to be a viable path to adjust predictions.
