SEM and EBSD techniques were used to evaluate hydrogen induced cracking susceptibility in API X70 pipeline steels produced by thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) in laboratory scale. The observations showed no dominant texture in the specimens with randomly distributed grains. Different TMCP parameters and rolling processes generate different grain sizes, and a high cooling rate does not allow the grains to grow, affecting the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.
SEM and EBSD techniques are used to evaluate hydrogen induced cracking susceptibility in API X70 pipeline steels produced by thermo-mechanical controlled process (TMCP) in laboratory scale. Based on the observations, there is no dominant texture in the specimens and the grains are randomly distributed. Different TMCP parameters and rolling processes generates different grain size, and grains are often elongated along the rolling direction. The results also show that cooling rate is another factor affecting the grain size. A high cooling rate does not allow the grains to grow. The reason for the transgranular type of cracking might be the strong grain boundaries in ambient temperatures which prevents the intergranular cracking. Based on experiments, the hydrogen environment does not have permanent effects on the mechanical properties of the investigated specimens. The electrochemical hydrogen charging experiment shows that the grain refinement improves the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. (c) 2021 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
