Influence of Hydrogen on Delayed Fracture in High-Manganese Twinning-Induced Plasticity Steels and Advanced High-Strength Steels
摘要
Delayed fracture behavior in the presence of hydrogen has been investigated for advanced high-strength steel such as high manganese twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel, transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel, and dual phase (DP) steel. The influence of hydrogen on the fracture behavior has been examined by carrying out slow strain rate tests and deep drawing tests. The significant dependence of formability (deep drawing) of different steels on the processing conditions of hydrogen pre-charging due to their response to delayed fracture has been studied. It has been observed that TRIP and DP steels are relatively more sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement than TWIP steels due to their characteristic microstructure. The fracture surfaces of all the studied steels were investigated using scanning electron microscopy.
