The role of density functional theory in decoding the complexities of hydrogen embrittlement in steels.

Hydrogen (H) is considered as the key element in aiding the initiated green energy transition. To facilitate this, efficient and durable technologies need to be developed for the generation, storage, transportation, and use of H. All these value chain stages require materials that can withstand continuous exposure to H.

Heterogeneous Multiphase Microstructure Formation through Partial Recrystallization of a Warm-Deformed Medium Mn Steel during High-Temperature Partitioning.

A novel processing route is proposed to create a heterogeneous, multiphase structure in a medium Mn steel by incorporating partial quenching above the ambient, warm deformation, and partial recrystallization at high partitioning temperatures. The processing schedule was implemented in a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator and microstructures were examined by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The hardness of the structures was measured as the preliminary mechanical property.
