Abstract
The tensile properties of API 5L X70 pipeline steels have been measured in a high-pressure (10 MPa) hydrogen gas environment. Significant decreases in elongation at failure and reduction of area were observed when testing in hydrogen as compared with air, and those changes were accompanied by noticeable changes in fracture morphology. The present paper exposes the changes in mechanical properties of a grade API 5L X70 steel through numerous mechanical tests, i.e. tensile tests, notch tensile tests, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth measurements, performed either in atmosphere or in 10 MPa pressure of hydrogen gas.
