Elucidation of the role of aluminium in hydrogen induced degradation of TWIP steels Ghent University
Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are very promising for e.g. structural components in car bodies due to their high strength combined with large elongations. These steel types are however very prone to hydrogen embrittlement (HE). HE is characterized by a decrease in the metalU+2019s mechanical properties. It might also lead to unpredictable failures due to hydrogen induced cracking (HIC). Hydrogen originates either from the production ...
