摘要

The mechanical properties, microstructure and second phase precipitation behavior of flange forgings for high-pressure hydrogen storage vessels at different tempering temperatures (620–700 °C) were studied. The results showed that when tempered at 620–680 °C, the main microstructure of the test steel was tempered sorbite, and the main microstructure of tempered steel changed to martensite at 700 °C. At 700 °C, the dislocation density increased and some retained austenite existed. With the tempering temperature increasing, the yield strength showed a decreasing trend, the formation of fresh martensite made the tensile strength first decrease and then increase slightly, the impact energy at −40 °C increased first and then decreased, and the impact energy at 660 °C had the maximum value. The precipitates of MC type were mainly (Mo, V, Ti)C. The test steel had excellent strength and toughness matching at 660 °C tempering, the tensile strength at different cross section locations was above 750 MPa, the impact energy was above 200 J at −40 °C, and the relative percentage reduction of area (ZH2/ZN2) was above 75% at hydrogen environment of 6.3 MPa.
