Abstract
The theoretical aspects of the possible mechanism of hydride formation at the "metal-carbide inclusion" phase interface are considered. Hydrides create additional phase boundaries and constitute stress concentrators, which can lead to hydrogen embrittlement and delayed hydride cracking. This is important for high-alloy steels, for example, for bearing steels, operating under conditions of high-cycle surface loading and relatively elevated temperatures. A plane-stress model of surface loading has been developed in the ANSYS software package. Due to the calculations of the plane stresses state, it becomes possible to evaluate the probable places of hydrogen accumulation at the interface of the microstructural components phases of the material in the directions of plastic deformation development from the interface for possible hydride formation.
