Abstract: The effect of different microstructures of steel 30CrMnSiNi2A on the susceptibility of cadmium embrittlement has been studied and compared under the unique yield strength level. The results show that the tempered martensite exhibits the maximum susceptibility to cadmium embrittlement,while the lower bainite shows the minimum susceptibility.The mixed microstructure of the above two has a susceptibility in between.

Key words: steel 30CrMnSiNi2A, microstructure, susceptibility of cadmium embrittlement
