This paper reports on laboratory-scale studies that have been done to assess the hydrogen permeation properties of vacuum plasma-sprayed tungsten (VPS-W) coatings at the temperature range of 200 - 500 °C. W coatings with thicknesses of 46 μm and 90 μm have been investigated. It has been found that the observed permeation rates through composite VPS-W/F82H specimen are reduced to ∼7% compared to that of pure F82 H. VPS-W coating is porous and has an open system of connected pores, which density is evaluated to be ∼7%. The main effect of the W coating on hydrogen permeation is to reduce the incoming flux at the W/F82H interface owing to pore diffusion in the coating and to reduce the effective surface area for hydrogen dissolution in the substrate.}, title = {Hydrogen Gas-Driven Permeation through F82H Steel Coated with Vacuum Plasma-Sprayed Tungsten}, volume = {11}, year = {2016} }
