Cr-Mo and Ni-Cr-Mo high-strength low-alloy steels are candidate materials for the storage of high-pressure hydrogen gas. Forging materials of these steels have been used for such an environment, while there has been a strong demand for a higher performance material with high resistance to hydrogen embrittlement at lower cost. Thus, mechanical properties of Cr-Mo and Ni-Cr-Mo steels made of quenched and tempered seamless pipes in high-pressure hydrogen gas up to 105 MPa were examined in this study. The mechanical properties were deteriorated in the presence of hydrogen that appeared in reduction in local elongation, decrease in fracture toughness and accelerated fatigue-crack growth rate, although the presence of hydrogen did not affect yield and ultimate tensile strengths and made little difference to the fatigue endurance limit. It is proposed that pressure vessels for the storage of gaseous hydrogen made of these seamless line pipe steels can be designed.

Given the expected increase in Arctic oil and gas exploitation, there is a demand for high-strength line pipe steels able to cope with the Arctic climate. The state-of-the-art of the tensile properties of API 5L steels at low temperatures is reviewed and discussed. Well-known characteristics such as an increase in strength and Young’s modulus with decreasing temperatures are confirmed. The Y/T ratio is fairly unaffected by changes in temperature. Lüders elongation manifests itself at low temperatures where the Lüders plateau tends to increase. Conflicting statements about the relation between ductility and temperature were found. Altogether, quantifiable test results are scarce, especially for the high strength grades from API 5L X90 grade onwards. The urgent need for more tensile strength and ductility data of these steels at low temperatures is stated and defended.
