It is known that type 310S stainless steel is insensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. Then, the effect of hydrogen on the mechanical properties has not been studied in detail. In the present work, SSRT was carried out under hydrogen cathodic charging condition. Elongation increased by hydrogen charging, while reduction of area decreased. A lot of micro-cracks were observed on the side surface of fractured specimens into which hydrogen was charged, while no cracks were observed on the side surface of fractured specimens without hydrogen charging. Micro-cracks were also observed on the surface of unloaded specimens that were annealed after hydrogen charging. Therefore, it is considered that cracks occur from the defects induced by hydrogen charging.

The oxidation resistance and high temperature mechanical properties of FeCrNi heat-resisting steel are analyzed and studied. The results show that the oxidation resistance of the heat-resisting steel is improved remarkably after adding RE. The value of oxidation rate of Sample 1 (without adding RE) is 1.71 times higher than Sample 2, respectively at 1423K. And the value of oxidation rate of Sample 1 is 1.4 times higher than Sample 2, respectively at 1473K. The fracture mode of heat-resisting stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel. The high temperature mechanical properties of heat-resisting steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with heat-resisting stainless steel without RE, the reduction of area of heat-resisting stainless steel with RE is increased 26.27% at 1123K.

A comparative study of the mechanical properties, fracture mechanisms and hydrogen embrittlement peculiarities was carried out using the specimens of austenitic CrNi steel produced by two different methods: wire-feed electron beam additive manufacturing and conventional casting followed by solid-solution treatment. Hydrogen-induced reduction of ductility and the increase in the yield strength are observed in steel specimens produced by both methods. Despite hydrogen embrittlement index is comparable in them, the increase in the yield strength after hydrogen-charging is different: 25 MPa for cast steel and 175 MPa for additively manufactured steel. This difference is associated with the peculiarities of phase composition and phase distribution in steels produced by different methods.

Abstract The susceptibility of precipitation hardening 13-8 Mo stainless steel to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) was measured by both post hydrogen charging tensile tests and by time to failure tests while being subjected to hydrogen charging and a static stress below the yield stress. In the former, it was found that the ductility was decreased substantially after only 30 min charging time. The strength was markedly reduced after 2 h charging time. In the delayed failure tests, it was found that a localized cold worked surface condition promoted crack formation.

The effects of rare earth metals on the inclusions and the mechanical properties of 21Cr11Ni austenitic steel were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that the morphologies and sizes of inclusions in 21Cr11Ni stainless steel are changed, and rare earth played a very good role of modifying inclusions. The fracture mode of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel is typical cleavage fracture, but quasi-cleavage and dimple fracture after adding RE into the steel. The transverse impact toughness of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel is improved obviously by RE. In comparison with 21Cr11Ni stainless steel without RE, the transverse impact toughness of 21Cr11Ni stainless steel with RE is increased 25.33% at-40°C, and the room temperature strength are improved, the elongation and reduction of area have been improved 9.18%, 12.71% respectively.

Hydrogenation reactor is one of the key equipments in the production process of purified terephthalic acid (PTA). The safe and reliable operation of hydrogenation reactor decides the safety of PTA installation. Service experience has shown that some longitudinal cracks occurred on the internal wall of the 304L stainless steel (SS) hydrogen nozzle. In this paper, a series of electrochemical hydrogen charging tests were carried out for 304L stainless steel at the ambient temperature. The comparison on mechanical properties was investigated before and after hydrogen charging in order to investigate the effect of mechanical properties of 304L SS. Fractography was analyzed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the mechanical strength of 304L SS was not basically lost after hydrogen charging, but the ductility reduced in a certain extent. The fractography also showed the hydrogen embrittlement effect on the fracture.
