The effects of internal hydrogen on the deformation microstructures of 304L austenitic stainless steel have been characterized using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD), high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HRSTEM), and nanoprobe diffraction. Samples, both thermally precharged with hydrogen and without thermal precharging, were subjected to tensile deformation of 5 and 20 pct true strain followed by multiple microscopic interrogations. Internal hydrogen produced widespread stacking faults within the as-forged initially unstrained material. While planar deformation bands developed with tensile strain in both the hydrogen-precharged and non-precharged material, the character of these bands changed with the presence of internal hydrogen. As shown by nanobeam diffraction and HRSTEM observations, in the absence of internal hydrogen, the bands were predominantly composed of twins, whereas for samples deformed in the presence of internal hydrogen, ε-martensite became more pronounced and the density of deformation bands increased. For the 20 pct strain condition, α'-martensite was observed at the intersection of ε-martensite bands in hydrogen-precharged samples, whereas in non-precharged samples α'-martensite was only observed along grain boundaries. We hypothesize that the increased prevalence of α'-martensite is a secondary effect of increased ε-martensite and deformation band density due to internal hydrogen and is not a signature of internal hydrogen itself.
