A compendium of mechanical properties of carbon and low alloy steels following hydrogen exposure has been assembled from literature sources. The property sets include yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, uniform elongation, reduction in area, threshold stress intensity factor, fracture toughness, and fatigue crack growth. These properties are from literature sources under a variety of test methods and conditions. The collection of literature data is by no means complete, but the diversity of data and dependency of results on test method are sufficient to warrant a design and implementation of a standardized test program. The program would be needed to enable a defensible demonstration of structural integrity of a pressurized hydrogen system. It is essential that the environmental variables be well-defined (e.g., the applicable hydrogen gas pressure range and the test strain rate) and the specimen preparation be realistically consistent (such as the techniques to charge hydrogen and to maintain the hydrogen concentration in the specimens).

Literature survey has been performed for a compendium of mechanical properties of carbon and low alloy steels following hydrogen exposure. The property sets include yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, uniform elongation, reduction of area, threshold stress intensity factor, fracture toughness, and fatigue crack growth. These properties are drawn from literature sources under a variety of test methods and conditions. However, the collection of literature data is by no means complete, but the diversity of data and dependency of results in test method is sufficient to warrant a design and implementation of a thorough test program. The program would be needed to enable a defensible demonstration of structural integrity of a pressurized hydrogen system. It is essential that the environmental variables be well-defined (e.g., the applicable hydrogen gas pressure range and the test strain rate) and the specimen preparation be realistically consistent (such as the techniques to charge hydrogen and to maintain the hydrogen concentration in the specimens).

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.

For fuel savings as well as energy and resource requirement, high strength low alloy steels (HSLA) are of particular interest to automobile industry because of the potential weight reduction which can be achieved by using thinner section of these steels to carry the same load and thus to improve the fuel mileage. Dual phase treatment has been utilized to obtain superior strength and ductility combinations compared to the HSLA of identical composition. Recently, cooling rate following heat treatment was found to be important to the tensile properties of the dual phase steels. In this paper, we report the results of the investigation of cooling rate on the microstructures and mechanical properties of several vanadium HSLA steels.The steels with composition (in weight percent) listed below were supplied by China Steel Corporation: 1. low V steel (0.11C, 0.65Si, 1.63Mn, 0.015P, 0.008S, 0.084Aℓ, 0.004V), 2. 0.059V steel (0.13C, 0.62S1, 1.59Mn, 0.012P, 0.008S, 0.065Aℓ, 0.059V), 3. 0.10V steel (0.11C, 0.58Si, 1.58Mn, 0.017P, 0.008S, 0.068Aℓ, 0.10V).

Abstract Slow-strain-rate tensile (SSRT) and fatigue-life tests were carried out on 17-4PH martensitic stainless steel with an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of ∼ 1 GPa. The specimens were precharged by exposure to hydrogen gas at pressures of 35 MPa or 100 MPa at 270°C for 200 h. The SSRT tests used smooth axisymmetric specimens made of two grades of 17-4PH (H1150 and H900) differing by the UTS due to their thermal history. No degradation of the UTS was observed for both H1150 and H900 grades. However, the relative reduction in area (RRA) was 0.31 for H1150 or 0.11 for H900, translating a difference in their hydrogen sensitivity. Both grades presented different fracture-surface morphologies: a mixture of quasi-cleavage (QC) and intergranular (IG) facets for H1150 and cleavage (C) facets for H900. Circumferentially-notched axisymmetric specimens made of H1150 were used for the fatigue-life tests in the [10−3 Hz;10 Hz] frequency range. Our previous study on low-alloy steels with UTS of around 950 MPa demonstrates that the fatigue life of a circumferentially-notched specimen with a sharp notch can be successfully predicted from the fatigue crack growth (FCG) property following the Paris law. This study used the same specimen geometry and a BCC steel with a similar UTS value; hence, the FCG behavior was investigated from the fatigue-life test of the notched specimen. As a result, the degradation of fatigue lives attributed to the FCG acceleration was observed in presence of hydrogen. A FCG acceleration ratio bounded to 30 was observed in the high-cycle regime, accompanied by QC facets. A FCG acceleration ratio bounded to ∼100 was observed in the low-cycle regime, accompanied by QC and IG facets. A FCG model accounting for the interaction of elementary mechanisms was proposed and succeeded in predicting the FCG acceleration ratio observed on H1150. This model was also successfully applied to a low-alloy steel with a comparable UTS (1002 MPa) tested in gaseous hydrogen.
