Role of twinning and transformation in hydrogen embrittlement of austenitic stainless steels
Description:
Internal hydrogen embrittlement may be viewed as an extreme form of environmental embrittlement that arises following prolonged exposure to a source of hydrogen. Smooth bar tensile specimens of three stainless steels saturated with deuterium (approximately 200 mol D/sub 2//m/sup 3/) were pulled to failure in air at 200 to 400/sup 0/K or in liquid nitrogen at 78/sup 0/K. In Type 304L stainless steel and Tenelon ductility losses are a maximum around 200 to 273/sup 0/K; Type 310 stainless steel is…
