Abstract

The slow strain rate tensile experiments are carried out to investigate the tensile properties of X80 pipeline steel in hydrogen blended natural gas environments with different H2/CH4/CO contents. Mechanical properties and fracture morphologies are further analyzed. The results show that the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of X80 steel can be inhibited by the presence of CH4/CO, and the inhibition mechanisms are discussed. When the CH4 contents increase above 20 vol%, the inhibition on hydrogen embrittlement of X80 steel is stabilized. By comparison, the inhibitory effect of CO is more significant.
