Al and Si Influences on Hydrogen Embrittlement of Carbide-Free Bainitic Steel

A first-principle method based on the density functional theory was applied to investigate the Al and Si influences on the hydrogen embrittlement of carbide-free bainitic steel. The hydrogen preference site, binding energy, diffusion behaviour, and electronic structure were calculated. The results s...
