This invention belongs to the field of
alloy forming technology and discloses a 2GPa-grade
hydrogen embrittlement-resistant hot-formed steel containing NbVTiMo composite precipitates, its preparation method, and its applications. Through the synergistic proportioning of Nb, V, Ti, and Mo
quaternary microalloys, a NbVTiMo composite nano-precipitate with high
thermal stability and good
interfacial bonding is formed. Compared with traditional single / low-element microalloy precipitates, this composite precipitate can act as a highly efficient
hydrogen trap, significantly improving the
hydrogen atom capture ability, effectively inhibiting hydrogen enrichment at grain boundaries and defects, improving the
hydrogen embrittlement resistance of hot-formed steel, and reducing the risk of hydrogen-induced
cracking and
delayed fracture. Simultaneously, extending the coiling
holding time promotes the full
nucleation and dispersed distribution of the precipitates; shortening the austenitizing
holding time avoids excessive
dissolution and coarsening of the precipitates, maintaining the nanoscale of the precipitates, and achieving a fine and dense distribution of the precipitates, thus balancing
hydrogen embrittlement resistance with the strength and
toughness of the steel.
