Novel principle and method for measuring diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in metal melt

Abstract

The invention relates to a principle and method for measuring a diffusion coefficient of hydrogen nearby melting point temperature of a metal melt by utilizing solubility difference of the hydrogen in a metal liquid / solid phase and supersaturation conditions required by bubble nucleation. The method comprises the following steps of: by using a directional solidification device, melting metal in mixed gas of the hydrogen and argon at a certain pressure, so as to obtain an initial bubble-free layer with a certain thickness by utilizing directional hydrogen diffusion caused by the solubility difference of the hydrogen in the metal liquid / solid phase and the supersaturation conditions required by the bubble nucleation; combining the height of the bubble-free layer, the supersaturation conditions required by the nucleation and a nearly balance solidification principle of a single-phase alloy, so as to obtain the diffusion coefficient of the hydrogen nearby melting point temperature of the metal melt. The problems that the operation is complex and the diffusion coefficient of the hydrogen in a high-melting point metal melt is difficultly obtained by using the conventional method are solved, and the invention provides a principle and a method for simply and conveniently measuring the diffusion coefficient of the hydrogen nearby the melting point of the metal melt.
