Hydrogen embrittlement of high strength martensitic stainless steels Hiroki Ikeda Abstract: Hydrogen embrittlement of martensitic stainless steels was investigated to understand the effect of structure and their corrosion resistances. All materials used in this work were adjusted their strength around 1200-1400MPa. The resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of martensitic stainless steels was good in SUS63017-4PH, moder- ate in SUS410 and poor in SUS420J2. The reasons for the difference between SUS630 and SUS420J2 are effects of the differences of their corrosion resistance, distribution of carbides, and the critical concentration of hydrogen to induce hydrogen embrittlement. The methods to improve the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of martensitic stainless steels are to increase the critical concentration of hydrogen by using precipitation hardening, reduce carbides levels by decreasing car- bon content or heat treatment, and increase their corrosion resistance.
