Hydrogen Degradation of Spheroidized AISI 1020 Steel S.C. CHANG and J. P. HIRTH In a previous study of the influence of hydrogen on the properties of spheroidized AISI 1090 steel, the major effect of precharged hydrogen in plane-strain tension and bend tests was to promote plastic instability form of localized shear. 1 The instability was manifested by enhanced surface roughening, the development of bulk shear bands emanating S.

from the surface, the formation of surface microcracks at reentrant regions of the roughened surface, and mixed mode I-II failure. The mixed mode cracks 2 followed shear bands, the characteristic slip lines of plasticity theory, but also had normal stresses acting to open the cracks. The critical strains for all of the above stages of development of plastic instability were lowered by about a factor of two in the presence of precharged hydrogen at high fugacity. ~'3 Cross sections of tested specimens revealed voids aligned along the shear band traces once bulk shear bands formed, but a major cause for these was shown to be the incompatibility stresses developed at carbide interfaces by the localized plastic flow.l'3 Once formed, voids further enhance flow localization and vice v e r s a , and failure ensues. The mechanism of enhancement of plastic instability occurred at a sizescale too fine to be resolved in the above experiments, but possibilities include a direct effect of hydrogen on the planarity of slip in the matrix or the development near the surface of a few carbide-interface decohesion events that trigger the interactive failure mechanism described above. In contrast, in uniaxially tensile loaded notched or unnotched rou
