The application provides a device and a test method for monitoring
diffusion of
hydrogen atoms across a
grain boundary by using SKPFM, and relates to the technical field of
hydrogen energy utilization. The device for monitoring
diffusion of
hydrogen atoms across a
grain boundary by using SKPFM comprises a target
grain boundary to be researched, a
cantilever, an
electrolytic cell, a
platinum wire and a
direct current power supply. The method is as follows: for a columnar
crystal material after
directional solidification, a certain grain boundary is determined as the research grain boundary, then a sample of the
cantilever connected with the
electrolytic cell is prepared, hydrogen atoms diffuse to the research grain boundary and gradually cross the grain boundary during the
electrolysis process, and
continuous scanning is performed on the grain boundary position by using SKPFM, so that the behavior of hydrogen crossing the grain boundary can be observed in real time. Compared with other traditional methods, the method of the application realizes the
diffusion behavior of hydrogen atoms across the target grain boundary, high-
throughput research and real-time monitoring research through the design of the device structure and the test method, improves the
hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the material, and the conclusion is real, reliable and guaranteed, and is beneficial to industrial popularization and use.
