Abstract
Mechanical properties and hydrogen environment assisted cracking (HEAC) resistance of AerMet 100 steel after single and double aging treatments were investigated. The fracture toughness increased by 10 –25 % after double aging treatment due to the higher faction of reversed austenite. Stronger hydrogen traps formed after double aging treatment decreased hydrogen diffusion rates. The double aging treatment increased the KTH by 20–60 % while lowered the da/dtII by 25–70 %. The improvement of HEAC resistance was related to the suppressed hydrogen diffusion and partitioning to the crack tip by carbides and reversed austenite, along with the enhanced austenite stability by Ni enrichment.
