Abstract

The influence of hydrogen at pressures up to 65 MPa on the strength, plasticity, and low-cycle fatigue life of the KhN60KMUBTF alloy samples at temperatures of 293–1073 K, short-term tensile rates of 0.1–100 mm/min, and cyclic bending frequencies and ampli­tudes of 50 Hz and 0.8 and 1.6% was studied. The properties of the samples decrease with increasing hydrogen pressure, decreasing speed and amplitude of loading in hydrogen. Under the maximum embrittlement at a hydrogen pressure of 65 MPa and a tensile rate of 0.1 mm/min, the ultimate strength and true fracture stress of smooth samples decrease in 1.5 times, and the ultimate strength of samples with a stress concentra­tor decreases in more than two times. In this case brittle intergranular fracture occurs and plastic de­for­ma­tion of the samples is almost completely absent. With increasing tem­perature the effect of hydrogen decreases, but remains noticeable at 1073 K.
