Title: How high-pressure hydrogen affects stainless steels

Journal Article · · Met. Prog.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7185565

Effects of high-pressure (greater than 15 MPa) hydrogen on the tensile strength and reduction in area of martensitic and precipitation-hardenable, ferritic, and austenitic stainless steels are described. Failure must be prevented because the most common mode of hydrogen failure is potentially catastrophic. The risk of delayed failure must be assessed. Structural and nonstructural uses are discussed.
