Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a critical issue that affects the reliability of hydrogenation reactors. The hydrogen diffusivity/trap characteristics of 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel are important parameters mainly used to study the HE mechanism of steel alloys. In this work, the hydrogen diffusivity/trap characteristics of heat-treated (annealed) and untreated 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel were studied using an electrochemical permeation method. The microstructures of both 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steels were investigated by metallurgical microscopy. The effect of cementite on the hydrogen diffusivity/trap mechanisms was studied using thermodynamics-based and Lennard⁻Jones potential theories. The results revealed that the cementite located at the grain boundaries and at the interfaces of lath ferrite served as a kind of hydrogen trap (i.e., an irreversible hydrogen trap). In addition, hydrogen was transported from ferrite to cementite via up-hill diffusion, thereby supporting the hypothesis of cementite acting as a hydrogen trap.
