A gaseous permeation technique was used to measure the H permeabilities and diffusivities of specimens, after various heat treatments (tables 74 and 75), at temperatures ranging from 210 to 430C. The results showed that the temperature dependences of the H permeabilities and diffusivities in the various alloys obeyed Arrhenius relationships over the studied temperature range. Also, the H permeation behavior was essentially independent of the heat-treatment conditions. That is, it was not significantly affected by the presence of ' precipitates in the alloys. The H permeation parameters of the Fe-based superalloys were essentially consistent with those of austenitic stainless steels. The transport of H in these face-centered cubic alloys was generally controlled only by the lattice diffusion of H.
