Abstract

Abstract Hydrogen embrittlement of a low alloy steel has been studied using tensile tests and fracture mechanics techniques. Embrittlement was found to be caused by hydrogen-enhanced decohesion at internal interfaces. Hydrogen degradation of the relatively soft material requires that hydrogen is accumulated on a localized scale by dislocation sweep-in.
