Abstract
In situ electrochemical nanoindentation has been used to study the effect of hydrogen on the nanomechanical response of Alloy 718. Observations show that hardness increase as a result of hydrogen charging. Also, the hydrogen charging gives a reduced pop-in load and pop-in width. This is related to a reduction in the energy needed for dislocation nucleation and the mobility of the dislocations in the presence of hydrogen. Two grains with different orientations has been tested here. The pop-in load and width obtained in the (101) orientation was more affected by the presence of hydrogen than those achieved in the (111) oriented grain.
