Metastable austenitic steels react to plastic deformation with a thermally and/or mechanically induced martensitic phase transformation. The martensitic transformation to α’-martensite can take place directly or indirectly via the intermediate stage of ε-martensite from the single-phase austenite. This effect is influenced by the stacking fault energy (SFE) of austenitic steels. An SFE < 20 mJ/m2 is known to promote indirect conversion, while an SFE > 20 mJ/m2 promotes the direct conversion of austenite into α’-martensite. This relationship has thus far not been considered in relation to the hydrogen environment embrittlement (HEE) of metastable austenitic CrNi steels. To gain new insights into HEE under consideration of the SFE and martensite formation of metastable CrNi steels, tensile tests were carried out in this study at room temperature in an air environment and in a hydrogen gas atmosphere with a pressure of p = 10 MPa. These tests were conducted on a conventionally produced alloy AISI 304L and a laboratory-scale modification of this alloy. In terms of metal physics, the steels under consideration differed in the value of the experimentally determined SFE. The SFE of the AISI 304L was 22.7 ± 0.8 mJ/m2 and the SFE of the 304 mod alloy was 18.7 ± 0.4 mJ/m2. The tensile specimens tested in air revealed a direct γàα’ conversion for AISI 304L and an indirect γàεàα’ conversion for 304mod. From the results it could be deduced that the indirect phase transformation is responsible for a significant increase in the content of deformation-induced α’-martensite due to a reduction of the SFE value below 20 mJ/m2 in hydrogen gas atmosphere.

The paper deals with the change of the structure and mechanical properties of the austenitic steels after the exposure at the critical temperature. The effects of the bend radius of tubes including effect of solution annealing on the mechanical properties and the structure were studied. The mechanical properties were studied using small punch test (SPT) and miniaturized tensile tests. From the results can be concluded that the mechanical properties and the structure have been influenced due to one year exposure at the working temperature significantly. Various amounts of σ-phase were found in the pulled part of the bend side of the tubes even after only thermal exposure without any loading. The effect of the heat treatment and the bend radius on the mechanical properties and the structure was also evident. Drop in fracture energy due to the presence of the σ-phase in the structure was clearly detected from force - displacement record of the small punch test. Keywords: Austenitic steels, bends, σ-phase, small punch test

In the past decade, new steels have been developed for the automotive industry in the framework of environmental requirements. Among them, high manganese austenitic steels combining exceptional properties of strength and ductility are particularly promising. These exceptional properties stem from a fully austenitic structure at room temperature and a twinning deformation mode in addition to the classical mechanism of dislocation gliding, known as the TWinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) effect. In this study, the cracking resistance of the Fe22Mn0.6C TWIP steel was investigated in relation to the liquid metal embrittlement (LME) phenomenon. Indeed, liquid zinc has been found to have an embrittling effect on such steels. Electro-galvanized specimens were subjected to hot tensile tests using Gleeble® thermo-mechanical simulator. The influence of different parameters such as temperature and strain rate on embrittlement was studied. The results show that this steel can be embrittled by liquid zinc within a limited range of temperature depending on strain rate. A critical stress for cracking has been defined for each embrittlement condition.

The model system of a photographic using light-emiting dioda (LED) iluminator and a 35-mm rotating drum camera has ben developed for diagnosis of dynamic-tensile tests conducted with split tension bar. Back-lit photographs of deforming tensile samples are obtained at rates up to 50 kHz that test were conducted with 6061T8 aluminum, since this material is relatively well characterized and relatively insentive to strain rate and work hardening. The LED exposures are precisely time corrected with the conventional bar-straingage records. The system can be used to extended the measurement of stressstrain-gage curves beyond the onset of plastic instability. ABSTRAKSistem pemodelan fotografis yang menggunakan iluminator LED (Light Emiting Dioda) dan kamera film 35 mm di coba untuk digunakan mendiagnosis uji tarik dinamis batang uji. Pengulangan pada uji fotografis pada beberapa bentuk sampel uji tarik aluminum 6061T8 dengan kecepatan sampai dengan 50 kHz , yang mana material ini relatif memiliki karakteristik yang sangat bagus dan relatif lebih tahan terhadap kekuatan regangan rata-ratamya dan tingkat kekerasan yang tinggi. Pencahayaan LED pada saat yang tepat dapat terkoreksi hasilnya dengan pencatatan pengukuran batang sampel uji konvensional. Pemakaian ini dapat dipergunakan lebih luas untuk pengukuran kurva tegangan-regangan terhadap deformasi plastis yang labil.
