Initiation of hydrogen induced cracks at secondary phase particles by Aurélie Laureys, Margot Pinson, Lisa Claeys, Tim Deseranno, Tom Depover, Kim Verbeken

“…The goal of this work is to propose a general mechanism for hydrogen induced crack initiation in steels based on a microstructural study of multiple steel grades. Four types of steels with strongly varying microstructures are studied for this purpose, i.e. ultra low carbon (ULC) steel, TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) steel, Fe-C-Ti generic alloy, and pressure vessel steel. …”
