| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Micro-bending and micro-tensile testing was employed to clarify the effect of microstructure developed by deformation with hydrogen on hydrogen embrittlement of metastable austenitic steel. Micro-bending testing of microstructures developed at the crack tip revealed that cracking readily occurred in the specimen deformed with hydrogen. Micro-tensile testing of samples processed by high-pressure torsion revealed the effect of intermediate phase for martensitic transformation on plasticity. Deformation-twinning in the uncharged steel acts as an intermediate phase in the transformation to alpha prime martensite, which contributes to a good balance between strength and ductility. Hydrogen charging in the steel facilitates the formation of epsilon martensite as an intermediate phase in the transformation, thereby leading to the strain localization. However, dynamic alpha prime martensitic transformation in the presence of hydrogen is requisite for severe HE with quasi-cleavage.
