Abstract

The hydrogen distribution in an austenite–martensite dual-phase steel was investigated using silver decoration and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy. The silver decoration technique optimized for spacial resolution reveals interfacial segregation of hydrogen along the plate-type martensite–martensite grain boundaries. In addition, the scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy kinetically elucidates that hydrogen preferentially diffused out from the martensite–martensite grain boundaries. These preferential sites of hydrogen desorption correspond to the regions of hydrogen-assisted damage.
