Abstract
Based on hydrogen embrittlement-resistant surface design principles, this study investigates the microstructure and effectiveness of passivation films in blocking hydrogen. Passivation films, prepared by electrochemical methods, consist of outer FeOOH layer and inner layers of Cr2O3 and Fe2O3. The FeOOH layer, with a hydrogen adsorption capacity of −3.555 eV and a diffusion barrier of 3.766 eV, effectively prevents hydrogen penetration. The Cr2O3 and Fe2O3 layers enhance bonding between the films and the substrate as transitional layers. This synergistic structure enhances hydrogen-blocking capabilities, resulting in a 59.92 % reduction in hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity index and a 41.27 % decrease in brittle zone depth.
