Abstract

Hydrogen movement within an austenitic stainless steel has been investigated by microprint technique. Hydrogen atoms show strong preferential segregation along slip bands for the hydrogen-charged then compressed specimens. Such segregation was not observed in other test conditions. This result gives strong support to the theory that dislocations act as hydrogen traps and trapped hydrogen atoms move with them during plastic deformation.
