Abstract

The fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of IN625 alloy was studied by experimental methods and crystal plasticity simulations. Based on the experimental FCG rate curves, it is evident that hydrogen significantly accelerates FCG, and calculations show that this acceleration factor reaches a maximum of 2.41 times at 1 Hz. Hydrogen results in smaller plastic deformation zones compared to hydrogen-free samples. The interaction between hydrogen and dislocations leads to the nucleation of micro-voids along the slip planes, promoting the hydrogen-assisted cracking process. Lower loading frequencies results in finer fatigue striations and more pronounced hydrogen embrittlement features on the fracture surface.
