Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

In sheets of low-alloy pipe steels with high purity by harmful impurities and non-metallic inclusions, the nucleation and propagation sites of hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) are extended segregation bands of increased hardness in the axial zone, with sections consisting of high-carbon structures. The use of intensive cooling after controlled rolling from the austenitic region to the bainitic transformation temperatures and a decrease in the concentration of liquor carbon and manganese in steel helps to increase the sheet resistance to HIC due to reducing central segregation heterogeneity.
