Microstructure and strength affect hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility of martensitic steels. In order to understand their respective roles, two martensitic steels with the same chemical composition, but different strength (and or hardness) levels were selected. Incremental step load (ISL) technique was used to evaluate the environmental hydrogen embrittlement susceptibilities (EHE) of the materials by in-situ charging of hydrogen at a cathodic potential of -1.2VSCE. Microstructural characterization was performed using TEM. Stress and hydrogen concentration distributions at the time of failure were estimated from a stress coupled hydrogen diffusion finite element analysis (FEA). It was primarily observed that microstructure controlling strength has a
more significant effect on HE failure, as compared to microstructure affecting hydrogen diffusion in case of EHE. This observation was further corroborated with fractographic analyses and qualitative discussion based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). Key words: environmental hydrogen embrittlement, finite element analysis, transmission electron microscopy, HEDE mechanism.
