Abstract

This study analyzed the effect of the microstructure and alloying element on hydrogen-induced delayed fracture properties for the Energy Saving Wire (ESW) developed recently. Specimens were produced with a diameter 6.5mm post to the deformation (0, 10, 20 and 30%), followed by injecting the hydrogen. The experimental results by using GAS chromatography showed that the more hydrogen was emitted for high-carbon steel (0.45%C steel and 0.35%C steel) than low-carbon steel(0.2%C-Cr steel and 0.2%C-Cr-Mo steel). And, 0.45%C steel, 0.35%C steel and 0.2%C-Cr-Mo steel exhibited the crack for 30% deformed specimen. The hydrogen emitted was analyzed with the amount, the spheroidization, and the size of the carbides.
