Present study focuses on investigating the hot dip galvanizing effect on the mechanical properties of high strength steel. The effect of chemical pre-treatment (hydrogen diffusion) and the effect of hot dip galvanizing temperature on mechanical properties was studied with high strength steel S650MC. Additional tests were made with widely used structural steel S355J2. A batch type hot dip galvanizing process was used and zinc bath temperature was 450 °C and 550 °C. Results of the study show the behaviour of high strength steel during hot dip galvanizing process.

Fick's laws were used to model the hydrogen diffusion in notched high-strength steel wires loaded in tension under elastic-plastic conditions. The plastic deformation at the notch tip has an effect on the peak distribution of the hydrostatic stress ( h σ ). So, in stress-assisted diffusion analysis, elastic-plastic material behavior should be considered. Coupled diffusion elastic-plastic finite element analysis was implemented in the finite element program ABAQUS using the user element subroutine (UEL) and the coupled temperature-displacement solver routine to solve the variational form of the diffusion equation in order to obtain the hydrogen concentration distribution ahead of the notch tip in high-strength steel wires under plane strain conditions. The analysis results are compared with those obtained from elastic analysis, which shows that, if a critical hydrogen concentration is regarded as a local fracture criterion, the elastic-plastic analysis results can be used to evaluate the hydrogen embrittlement of high-strength steel wires.
