Abstract
In this paper, the behavior of hydrogen embrittlement of 680MPa DP sheet steel according to hydrogen charging conditions in acid and alkali electrolytes atmosphere was investigated. At this time, 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5M NaOH was used for electrolytes atmosphere and the effect on embrittlemnet of 680MPa DP sheet steel according to current density and charging time was evaluated by the change of subsurface microhardness in DP specimens chared hydrogen. As a result of this experiment, the microhardness of the layer directly below the surface was increased more than the microhardness of the subsurface zone in both electrolytes cases, but the change of the subsurface microhardness in both electrolytes was more affected by the increase of charging time than the increase of current density. The microhardness of subsurface zone in 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ acid electrolyte was increased more than the microhardness in 0.5M NaOH alkali electrolyte. It was supposed that acid atmosphere was more sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement than alkali atmosphere on electrolyte atmosphere of hydrogen charge.
