Abstract
It is known that hydrogen embrittlement occurs in austenitic stainless steels like type 304 because of the strain induced martensitic transformation. Rotary bending fatigue tests of type 310S stainless steel with hydrogen cathodic charging were carried out to investigate the effect of hydrogen charging on the austenitic phase. High dissolved hydrogen decreases the fatigue strength. It also enhances the plasticity and induces ϵH martensitic transformation. Hydrogen may promote crack initiation in slip bands.
