Abstract

The hydrogen embrittlement behavior of an ultra-high strength (1180 MPa grade) dual phase steel sheet composed of ferrite and tempered martensite, as compared with that of a single phase steel sheet composed of tempered martensite, has been investigated by a sustained tensile-loading test. No fracture of the dual phase steel occurs under the low hydrogen-charging current density of 5 A/m2 except under high applied stress substantially larger than the yield stress. With the high current density of 50 A/m2, the time to fracture of the dual phase steel varies widely, but is almost the same as that of the single phase steel. The critical applied stress for fracture of the dual phase steel is higher than that of the single phase steel. Under the high applied stress, however, the time to fracture of the dual phase steel is shorter than that of the single phase steel, and a unique intergranular-like morphology is observed at the crack initiation area on the fracture surface. Upon plastic deformation before the sustained tensile-loading test under the high applied stress, the time to fracture of the dual phase steel increases and the initiation area on the fracture surface exhibits typical quasi-cleavage features. The results of the present study indicate that the hydrogen embrittlement of the dual phase steel displays some anomalous behavior.
