Influence of Loading Rate on the Hydrogen-Assisted Micro-Damage in Bluntly Notched Samples of Pearlitic Steel

The influence of loading rate (crosshead speed) on the fracture process of bluntly notched samples of pearlitic steel under hydrogen environment is analyzed in this paper. Results indicate that the location of the zone where fracture initiates (fracture process zone) in pearlitic steel samples with...
