Conclusions
-
1.
Hydrogen solubility increases with an increase in the degree of deformation. This effect develops more strongly with cold working than with hot working, which is connected with the presence of a larger number of structural defects and absence of recrystallization in cold-worked steel.
-
2.
Optimum hydrogen distribution and an increase in its solubility in hot-worked steel is achieved after exposure at 650°C for 25–50 h.
