High strength steels with high amount of martensite such as the Usibor2000®, are susceptible to hydrogen absorption during processing leading to the risk of delayed cracking phenomena. CRF wanted to assess the use of this material for automotive applications. To do that, hydrogen content on the raw material blanks prior to the hot stamping process and after the treatment should be measured to evaluate the safety margin compared to the critical diffusible hydrogen content for the material.
