Environment-Induced Degradation in Maraging Steel Grade 18Ni1700

Article Preview

Abstract:

Samples extracted from flow formed tubes made of 18% nickel maraging steel grade C18Ni1750 were subjected to tensile testing at room temperature in laboratory environment at two different strain rates. Testing was carried out in as flow formed as well as flow formed and aged conditions. Aging was carried out adopting four different cycles. Distinct loss of ductility was observed at the lower strain rate in all tested conditions. The embrittlement occurring during low strain rate testing is explained in terms of hydrogen induced damage, hydrogen coming from the moisture in the environment. It is also concluded that the heavy cold work imparted to the material during flow-forming is importantly responsible for the ductility loss observed at low strain rate.
