The temperature dependence of embrittlement of Type 304L stainless steel saturated with hydrogen at high pressure was explored. This charging condition was expected to accentuate ductility loss and changes in fracture mode without the complicating effects associated with cathodic charging. The present discussion emphasized the initial fractographic and metallographic examination of the specimens. Further work is in progress.
