It is thus essential to correlate hydrogen uptake and diffusion behavior with stress conditionsfor an in-depth understanding of the failures. This study reports the first-hand finding on hydrogen diffusionbehavior in a nickel Alloy 625 under different pre-strain levels by combining the electrochemical permeation testand diffusion model, with a particular focus on the effect of grain boundary carbide. As the multiplication ofdislocations was claimed to trap hydrogen atoms and reduce the diffusivity by increasing the strain levels from0.05 to 0.2, an acceleration in hydrogen diffusivity was however observed when the strain was higher than 0.1.This phenomenon was deduced to be caused by the diffusion highways by the hydrogen-enhanced strain-inducedvacancy formation at the grain boundaries and reduced hydrogen trapping by the fractured carbides.
