Simulation of Hydrogen Isotopes Accumulation Processes in Materials in the Presence of Chemical Traps

Abstract

The accumulation of hydrogen inside solids occurs in traps of a different nature. In addition to presence of hydrogen in interstitial sites, there are dislocation mechanisms of hydrogen storage, micropores and microcracks, sorption on the free surface of microdefects, chemical traps with the formation of hydrides and other compounds, both with matrix material and with impurities or components of alloys...
