Abstract For the comprehensive investigation of advanced high strength steel grades, like complex and dual phase steels, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (SKPFM) have proven to be useful tools, especially for analysis of hydrogen permeability of the individual steel phases. However, for these studies a preparation route, exposing the microstructure of the steel, is necessary. Various sample preparation methods were examined, focusing on electropolishing and sputtering, and the selected route was optimized to guarantee reproducibility and stability of the prepared surface. Electropolishing was shown to be highly efficient to selectively reveal the individual steel phases without introducing strong topographical features disturbing the AFM measurements. A subsequent sputtering step was introduced to improve the stability and preservability of the surface up to several months. Finally, distinction of the steel phases via AFM/SKPFM, was complemented and compared with results from EBSD and XRD.

Abstract Tests at 21 C (69 F) show hydrogen enters and penetrates thin Type 310 stainless steel in H2SO4 solution under applied cathodic currents, first condition for hydrogen entry contributing to hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. When metal surface is passive permeation rate depends on applied current density; when active, rate depends on surface corrosion currents and applied current.

For fuel savings as well as energy and resource requirement, high strength low alloy steels (HSLA) are of particular interest to automobile industry because of the potential weight reduction which can be achieved by using thinner section of these steels to carry the same load and thus to improve the fuel mileage. Dual phase treatment has been utilized to obtain superior strength and ductility combinations compared to the HSLA of identical composition. Recently, cooling rate following heat treatment was found to be important to the tensile properties of the dual phase steels. In this paper, we report the results of the investigation of cooling rate on the microstructures and mechanical properties of several vanadium HSLA steels.The steels with composition (in weight percent) listed below were supplied by China Steel Corporation: 1. low V steel (0.11C, 0.65Si, 1.63Mn, 0.015P, 0.008S, 0.084Aℓ, 0.004V), 2. 0.059V steel (0.13C, 0.62S1, 1.59Mn, 0.012P, 0.008S, 0.065Aℓ, 0.059V), 3. 0.10V steel (0.11C, 0.58Si, 1.58Mn, 0.017P, 0.008S, 0.068Aℓ, 0.10V).
