Summary: The HIC resistance of different L80 casing steels was determined using NACE TM0284 HIC test. Microstructural and inclusion characterization was conducted using OM, SEM, and EDS. Models correlating inclusion morphology with CLR and CTR were developed, showing the complex relationship between oxide-based inclusions and MnS stringers and their impact on HIC resistance.

Summary: In this study, the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of martensitic medium-Mn steels with varying levels of S and Ti contents was investigated. It was found that the specimens with S or S-Ti additions exhibited higher HE resistance compared to the S-free specimens due to the presence of fine MnS or Ti(C,N) MnS complex inclusions. However, the presence of coarse elongated inclusions was found to be detrimental to HE resistance. Therefore, the key to improving the HE resistance of martensitic medium-Mn steel lies in the distribution of a large volume fraction of fine MnS or Ti(C,N) MnS complex inclusions without coarse elongated ones.

Summary: Understanding hydrogen embrittlement in steels is crucial for the energy industry, and hydrogen traps play a significant role in causing embrittlement and affecting mechanical properties. The complex interactions between hydrogen behavior and material properties make studying HE challenging, but recent theoretical models provide insights into hydrogen accumulation and crack initiation mechanisms.

Summary: A statistical analysis method proposed in this study estimates the progress of the hydrogen embrittlement process by obtaining the transition probability λi. The results are verified through Monte Carlo simulation. The temperature dependence of the process and the rate-limiting process of hydrogen embrittlement can also be evaluated using the proposed method.

Summary: Hydrogen is considered a future clean energy source, but its presence deteriorates the mechanical properties of most structural metals, resulting in hydrogen embrittlement whose mechanism is not fully understood. With advances in technology, research on hydrogen embrittlement is progressing, but there are still discrepancies that need further investigation.

Summary: In this paper, a characterization method for the degradation degree of hydrogen-induced properties of materials based on eddy current response signal is proposed. An improved hydrogen diffusion and distribution analysis model was established, and an early hydrogen damage eddy current detection model for multilayer conductive structure materials was constructed. The relationship between the eddy current response signal and hydrogen embrittlement performance index is established.

Summary: To ensure the reliability and durability of structural elements, a theoretical-experimental method based on the damage accumulation model using the energy approach is proposed. This method utilizes the local stress-strain state parameters determined through a noncontact optical-digital image correlation (ODIC) method. The proposed method allows for the determination of true stresses near concentrators in structural elements under complex loads.

Summary: In this study, a hydrogen permeable Nb43W5Ti27Co20Fe5 alloy membrane was designed and its microstructure and hydrogen transportation performances were studied. The substitution of Nb with W and Co with Fe improved the intrinsic hydrogen diffusion coefficient and reduced hydrogen solubility. Compared to the original alloy membrane, the designed Nb43W5Ti27Co20Fe5 alloy membrane showed lower hydrogen solubility and higher hydrogen permeability at temperatures below 623 K, and exhibited strong resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.

Summary: This study proposes a methodology based on specimen stiffness to determine the threshold load of steels with hardness lower than 33 HRC in Incremental Step-Loading (ISL) tests. Results from conventional ISL tests using the stiffness-based method showed good agreement with extended ISL tests. Additionally, ISL tests on steels with 40 HRC hardness demonstrated higher hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility compared to steels with 32 HRC hardness.

Summary: The hydrogen embrittlement of metals is caused by hydrogen atoms infiltrating and accumulating within the metal. The risk of hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength bolts poses a threat to their functionality, even with minimal moisture influence. This article proposes a method for assessing the resistance or susceptibility of high-strength bolts to hydrogen embrittlement and demonstrates its effectiveness through tests.

Summary: The effect of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of twinning-induced plasticity austenitic steel was studied using strain rate tests and microscopy. A new method for evaluating hydrogen embrittlement in materials with low hydrogen diffusion coefficient was proposed. The findings suggest that evaluating the contribution of the brittle zone to overall mechanical properties provides a more realistic and universal characterization of the influence of hydrogen.
