Abstract
Slow tensile straining of a series of specimens of 304L stainless steel after thermally charging with hydrogen at 31·0 MPa and 350°C resulted in a ductility loss compared with uncharged specimens. The susceptibility to embrittlement was shown to be dependent on the formation of martensite during deformation and, hence, the stability (and composition) of the austenite, but the interface between the austenite and any ferrite stringers acted as a nucleation site for cracking and as a weak propagation path for fracture.MST/1088
