Influence of the Bulk Concentration of Hydrogen in the Metal on the Specific Features of Deformation of Low-Alloy Pipe Steel

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We establish the specific features of the process of deformation of low-alloy pipe steel in hydrogencontaining media depending on the bulk concentration of hydrogen in the metal. We determine a characteristic value of concentration for which the mechanism of the influence hydrogen of on the deformation of steel changes: Below this value, the material undergoes plasticization and, above this value, it suffers embrittlement. The value C ∗H can be regarded as an important engineering parameter for the evaluation of strength and the analysis of fracture processes in materials and structural elements in hydrogen-containing media and for the development of new technologies of hydrogen treatment of structural materials with an aim to optimize their operating characteristics.
