As an alternative method to evaluation of slow strain rate technique (SSRT) under high-pressure hydrogen gas, SSRT performed with a cathodically charged specimen. Cathodic charging was performed in 3% NaCl aqueous solution with pH = 6 and at a current density of 400 A/m². Cr-Mo low alloy steel with a tensile strength of 1000 MPa grade was selected as a test material. The effect of specimen size on the hydrogen embrittlement properties was evaluated. Fracture surface observations ware performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The inner region of hydrogen charged specimen covered with dimple fracture surface. In contrast, voids not observed near the outer, and quasi-cleavage fracture of hydrogen embrittlement (QCHE) confirmed. The ratio of the QCHE increased as the specimen diameter decreased, and the RRA also decreased accordingly. The results indicated that the diameter of specimen influence the decreased in RRA.
