The invention provides 316L stainless steel capable of resisting
hydrogen-induced damage and a preparation method of the 316L stainless steel, and belongs to the technical field of
alloy materials. According to the method,
powder bed melting additive manufacturing is adopted for manufacturing the 316L stainless steel, the scanning strategy is limited to be interlayer 0-degree rotation or interlayer 90-degree rotation, so that each layer of the 316L stainless steel forms a similar orientation texture in the
powder bed melting additive manufacturing process, and then the prepared
hydrogen-induced damage resistant 316L stainless steel is small in
grain orientation difference and high in yield. The twin of the deformed twin
crystal can penetrate through different
crystal grains with close orientations,
stress concentration generated by interaction of a
crystal boundary, a twin boundary and
hydrogen in the deformation process is reduced, the possibility of hydrogen-induced
intergranular fracture of the material is reduced, and the
hydrogen embrittlement resistance is good. The result of the embodiment shows that the hydrogen
toughness percentage of the hydrogen-induced damage resistant 316L stainless steel prepared by the invention is 7.5%; the elongation at break is 52.1% when hydrogen is not charged, and the elongation at break is 55.8% after hydrogen is pre-charged; and the elongation at break is improved by 3.7%.
