Evaluation of the cementite morphology influence on the hydrogen induced crack nucleation and propagation path in carbon steels by Shabnam Karimi (19457575)

“…The ECCB tests were performed in H-free and two H charging steps with −1050 mV and −1550 mV charging potential versus Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The results show that both materials are resistant to crack initiation in the H-free condition while under −1050 mV charging, crack propagates through the grain boundaries in a tortuous path in spheroidite mi-crostructure and the lamellar microstructure displayed a higher strength with small cracks propagating through both the grain boundaries and the lamellas. …”
