Abstract

The Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility of the quenched boron steel B1500HS before and after being electrochemical hydrogen charging by applying different stresses, such as simple shear, uniaxial tensile and analogous plane strain, respectively was investigated via slow strain rate tensile test. Meanwhile, the stress-strain curves for both the H-free and H-charged steels were acquired and then the HE susceptibility of the test steels was calculated based on the equivalent plastic strain to reveal the effects of the stress state on the HE susceptibility of the quenched boron steel. Furthermore, the fracture features of the steels were characterized by SEM and EBSD to analyze the HE mechanism for the different applied stress. The results show that the HE mechanisms of the quenched boron steel by simple shear stress is substantial different to those by tensile stress, which indicated that the HE susceptibility during testing by simple shear stress is much lower than that by tensile stress.

Key words: metallic material quenched boron steel hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility stress triaxiality
