Abstract
AbstractThe literature is reviewed regarding the influence of hydrogen on dual-phase (DP), transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), and twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels. Hydrogen influences DP steels by decreasing ductility while strengths are largely unaffected. TRIP steels may be susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) as indicated by the loss of ductility and some brittle fracture features. The literature on the influence of hydrogen on TWIP steels was inconsistent. Some researchers found no significant influence of hydrogen on TWIP steel properties and fully ductile fractures, whereas others found a significant loss of ductility and strength due to hydrogen and some brittle features. Possible countermeasures for HE are tempering for DP and TRIP steels and aluminum alloying for TWIP steels.
