Abstract

Spheroidized AISI 1090 steel was charged with hydrogen at various charging current densities. The effect of hydrogen on the steel was detected by microhardness measurements. The charging produced reversible softening below a critical charging current density and irreversible softening above it. The results are discussed in connection with other indications of a critical charging current density and possible mechanisms for softening.
