Abstract
In this work, the hydrogen permeation behavior and sulfide corrosion cracking susceptibility of ultrafine grain high strength steel were studied under different concentrations of H2S and pH. The critical sulfide stress cracking factor (KISSC) displays an exponential decrease with trapped hydrogen concentration in the steel. High content of retained austenite and dislocations contribute to high trap density of atomic hydrogen within the ultrafine grain high strength steel. Austenite absorbed more hydrogen as potential cracking sites while bainite with large grain size helps to maintain sulfide corrosion cracking resistance.
