Hydrogen Embrittlement of Steels under the Constant Load Rupture Test (Part 1)

Summarization on the Hydrogen Embrittlement of Cathodically Charged Steel Specimens

Abstract

Authors have been investigating on the hydrogen embrittlement and the behavior of hydrogen in steels (absorption, permeation etc.) from a fundamentally new standpoint for these several years.
Before reporting the new experimental results, we should inform the results summarily that had been obtained and been published by us.
The experiments had been carried out using 18 kinds of steels and their weldments charged by the cathodically electrolytic method, under 12 kinds of testing conditions.
