Testing in gaseous hydrogen resulted in significant reductions in tensile strength and ductility for press-hardened martensitic steel (PHS). The susceptibility to hydrogen-induced fracture was greater with larger prior austenite grain size (PAGS), while refining the martensitic microstructure improved toughness, especially at lower hydrogen pressures.
The effects of hydrogen gas pressure and prior austenite grain size (PAGS) on the susceptibility of a 22MnB5 press-hardened martensitic steel (PHS) to hydrogen embrittlement were studied. The hydrogen test apparatus at NIST-Boulder was modified for tensile testing of plate-type and sheet-type specimens in gaseous hydrogen. This modification made it possible to evaluate the slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) properties of the PHS with three different PAGS at various hydrogen pressures (0.21 MPa-5.5 MPa). SSRT testing in gaseous hydrogen resulted in significant reductions of both the tensile strength and ductility, as compared to those measured in air. In addition, the presence of gaseous hydrogen resulted in a transition in fracture morphology from the near-45 degrees slant fracture to a more brittle fracture along a plane perpendicular to the tensile axis. The hydrogen-affected fracture zones were connected to the sheet specimen free surfaces, signifying the effect of external hydrogen. The fracture surfaces of the hydrogen-embrittled specimens contained relatively flat, cleavage-like facets, the size of which depended on the PAGS or packet size. The PHS having the largest PAGS represented generally larger secondary cracks and straighter crack paths in addition to a greater area fraction of the cleavage-like facets, likely indicative of a lower frequency of crack deflections. Compared to the largest PAGS condition, the two PHS with smaller PAGS were more resistant to the hydrogen-induced fracture especially at relatively low hydrogen gas pressures (<0.52 MPa). In contrast, with an increase in hydrogen pressure, all PHS specimens exhibited significant decreases in tensile strength and ductility. The positive effect of refining martensitic microstructure, at the low hydrogen pressures, is likely associated with improved toughness of the smaller grain-sized specimens.
