Abstract

2. Materials and Methods
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Mechanical Properties
3.2. Corrosion Analysis and Texture Evolution
4. Conclusions
- The HT2 specimen had the potential to retain a high impact toughness value even after hydrogen charging, indicating a higher amount of hydrogen embrittlement resistance. On the other hand, the Ref. and HT3 specimens with high hardness values showed higher hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility, indicating that the hydrogen embrittlement resistance decreased with increasing hardness values.
- The corrosion test results indicate that the corrosion resistance of the Ref. and heat-treated specimens can be arranged in the following order: HT3 < Ref. < HT1 < HT2. This result originates from the crystallographic texture analysis, which indicates that the HT1 and HT2 steel with the optimum combination of advantageous texture components ({110}, {111},{332}) and harmful texture components ({100}) exhibited a superior level of corrosion resistance in the acidic environments.
- The EBSD analysis of the KAM maps indicated that the HT3 and Ref. Please put here “Not applicable” have the highest amount of internally stored energy, resulting in the lowest corrosion resistance.
