Abstract

The hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of ultra-high-strength boron steel with different prior austenite grain (PAG) sizes was investigated. By adjusting soaking times and austenitizing temperatures, samples with varying PAG sizes were obtained. The PAG size and dislocation density of the samples were measured using electron backscatter diffraction technology. Hydrogen microprint technology was employed to further examine the impact of PAG size on the HE behavior. The sensitivity of HE decreased with the increasing of PAG size. It can be attributed to the combination of PAG size and dislocation density. The reduction in PAG size leads to higher dislocation density which increases the sensitivity of HE and facilitates the accumulation of hydrogen at the small PAG boundaries. This promotes local high hydrogen concentration, and ultimately resulting in the higher HE sensitivity.
