Enhancement of the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement by tailoring grain boundary characteristics in a low carbon high strength steel

In this work, the feasibility of using “grain boundary engineering” to reduce the susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement in a low carbon low alloy steel was examined. By adding Cu element, the fraction of random grain boundary (RGB) exhibited the highest value in the steel with 1%Cu, while the fra...
