Failure Mechanisms of an AISI 4135 Steel Submitted to the Disk Pressure Test under Helium and Hydrogen Gas

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present work focuses on the experimental multi-scale characterization of fracture of an AISI 4135 steel by using the Disk Pressure Test (DPT). In order to precise the specific features of hydrogen embrittlement, comparison was made between disks burst under helium and hydrogen gas. SEM - EBSD analysis of disks samples before and after the test allowed to analyze and to compare the main microstructural mechanisms of the failure process. The location of the main crack initiation was consistent with Finite Element (FE) simulations of the DPT.
