Plastic Deformation Localization of Low Carbon Steel: Hydrogen Effect

Abstract

In the present study, the features of plastic strain localization and structure of polycrystalline low carbon steelFe-0.07%Cwere investigated after hot rolling and electrolytic hydrogen saturation. The method of double-exposure speckle photographyhave been used for identification of main types and parameters of plastic flow localization at different stages of strain hardening.Shown the effect of hydrogen on changing of defect substructure and cementite morphology by using optical and electron microscopy.
