The results show that the microstructure of the tempered steel is mainly composed of tempered martensite, retained austenite, and delta ferrite. In the case of samples tempered from 500 to 700℃, the precipitates are mainly M23C6, which precipitate along the lath martensite boundaries. The precipitate content increases with the tempering temperature. During the tempering process, the content of retained austenite initially increases and then decreases, the maximum content of retained austenite being 29 vol.% upon tempering at 600℃. TEM analysis of the tested steel reveals two morphology types of retained austenite. One is thin film-like retained austenite that exists along the martensite lath boundary. The other is blocky austenite located on packet at the boundary and the original austenite grain boundary. To further understand the stability of reversed austenite, the Ni content in reversed austenite was measured using STEM. Results show a significant difference in nickel concentrations between reversed austenite and martensite.展开更多

The bolt steels were investigated by a combination of electrochemical hydrogen permeation, thermal desorption spectroscopy （TDS）, slow strain rate test （SSRT） and microstructure observation. The hydrogen concentration of both 10.9 grade （Rm=950-1 150 MPa） and 12.9 grade （Rm=1 150-1 250 MPa） bolt steels increases with increasing the hydrogen charging current densities and charging time. The 12.9 grade bolt steel has higher apparent diffusion coefficient than 10.9 grade steel, corresponding to the value of 4.7×10 7 mm^2/s. By means of TDS tests, the activation energies of the two experimental steels are 17.74 kJ/mol and 18.92 kJ/mol, respectively. The hydrogen traps of both grade bolt steels are dislocations and crystal lattice. The notch tensile strength of the steels is reduced with the hydrogen concentration carried out by SSRT. The fracture morphologies of the steels after hydrogen charging present ductile dimple and quasi-cleavage characteristic.展开更多
