Abstract

This study focuses on the effect of pre-deformation on hydrogen diffusion and hydrogen embrittlement of the high alloy austenitic TRIP steel X3CrMnNiMo17-8-4. Different cold-rolled steel sheets with thicknesses of ≤400 µm were electrochemically charged on both sides in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide with hydrogen for two weeks. Comparative measurements on uncharged and immersed samples prove that hydrogen causes embrittlement in this steel for all investigated states. The embrittlement increases with increasing pre-deformation and is accompanied by deformation-induced martensite formation. The corresponding fractured surfaces were examined using electron microscopy and compared to modelled hydrogen distributions with previously determined diffusion coefficients. For this purpose, various diffusion coefficients are determined using the Devanathan–Stachurski permeation test and hot extraction in order to describe the diffusion process. The hydrogen concentration profiles and the fractographic analyses show a good agreement, so this study provides a basis for estimating the embrittlement behaviour for later application.
