Heterogeneity of plastic flow of bimetals electrolytically saturated with hydrogen

This paper presents the study of a corrosion-resistant bimetal composed of austenitic stainless steel (301 AISI) and low-carbon construction steel (A 283 Grade C) and the effect of its electrolytic hydrogenation on plastic flow of the test material. Localization patterns of plastic deformation in the process of uniaxial tension were obtained using the digital image correlation method. The evolution of localized plastic deformation zones was studied in the initial state and after electrolytic hydrogenation. The staging of stress-strain curves was analyzed.
