Abstract

This chapter describes the effect of hydrogen on tensile properties of metals, showing that the hydrogen-assisted fracture is more enhanced for a material with higher tensile strength. It is also demonstrated that the relative reduction of area of austenitic stainless steels strongly correlates with nickel equivalent.
