| contents | Hydrogen-induced multi-spot corrosion on the surface of polycrystalline rare metals is a complex process, which involves the interactions between phases (metal, hydride and oxide), grain orientations, grain boundaries, and corrosion spots. To accurately simulate this process and comprehend the underlying physics, a theoretical method is required that includes the following mechanisms: i) hydrogen diffusion, ii) phase transformation, iii) elastic interactions between phases, especially, the interactions between the oxide film and the hydride, iv) elastic interactions between grains, and v) interactions between hydrogen solutes and grain boundaries. In this study, we report a multiphase-field model that incorporates all these requirements, and conduct a comprehensive study of hydrogen-induced spot corrosion on the uranium metal surface, including the investigation of the oxide film, multi-spot corrosion, grain orientation, and grain boundary in the monocrystal, bicrystal, and polycrystal systems. The results indicate that the oxide film can inhibit the growth of hydrides and plays a crucial role in determining the correct morphology of the hydride at the triple junction of phases. The elastic interaction between multiple corrosion spots causes the merging of corrosion spots and promotes the growth of hydrides. The introduction of grain orientations and grain boundaries results in a variety of intriguing intracrystalline and intergranular hydride morphologies. The model presented here is generally applicable to the hydrogen-induced multi-spot corrosion on any rare metal surface. |
