Abstract

This study investigates the impact of chemical heterogeneity on the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of medium Mn steel through slow strain rate tensile tests. By elucidating the relationship between microstructural evolution and hydrogen distribution, it is revealed that the heterogeneous Mn distribution in austenite causes Mn-depleted cores to transform into martensite first, with released hydrogen effectively enclosed by Mn-rich austenite shells. This mechanism shifts the primary site of hydrogen-induced cracking from phase interfaces to within austenite, significantly enhancing the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of medium Mn steel.
