Effects of hydrogen on the formation of nanocrystalline at rolling contact surface of bainitic rail steel

Yupeng Zhang, Chunlei Zheng, Shuoyan Li, Yongqiang Yang, Zhinan Yang, Bo Lv

Abstract

A newly discovered peculiar microstructure at the rolling contact surface of bainitic rail steel has been investigated via positron annihilation technique and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the nanocrystalline layer is produced through low-temperature dynamic recrystallization. After hydrogen charged, low temperature dynamic recrystallization has been inhibited by hydrogen, and nanocrystalline layer at the surface decreases or disappears.
