This study investigated the hydrogen permeation property of cementite by fabricating bulk cementite sample using the process combining the mechanical ball milling and subsequent pulse current sintering. The bulk cementite sample having a 96 vol% of cementite was successfully fabricated. The prepared bulk cementite showed no signal of hydrogen permeation during the 3.5 day of electrochemical hydrogen permeation test. The morphology of blister formed in the sample indicated that diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in cementite is very small.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
