Abstract:High-carbon structural steel wires were prestressed to various levels in a plasma hydrogenation environment and then pulled in a slow strain rate test (SSRT). The effect of plasma hydrogenation under different prestressing levels on the material's tensile response and hydrogen embrittlement was noted. It was found that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength, and ductility of the steel wire samples are decreased by plasma hydrogenation and prestressing levels. The more drastic decrease in the UTS, … Show more
