Hydrogen-and corrosion-related defect characterization of iron and steels using a slow positron beam

Hydrogen-and corrosion -related defects of pure iron and AISI 304 and 316 stainless steels were investigated by measuring Doppler broadening energy spectra (DBES) of positron annihilation and positron lifetime. Defect profiles of the S-parameter from DBES as a function of positron incident energy up to 25 keV (i.e.~1 μm depth) were analysed. When the sample is treated with various potentials in 1N H2SO4 solution at room temperature, significant changes of S-parameter are observed. Under anodic polarization, an increase in the S-parameter in pure iron is observed. This corrosion process is interpreted as the presence of defects and voids of a few nanometers near the surface.
