Summary Summary
Cathodic hydrogen charging considerably reduced the tensile ductility of ODS steels accompanied by the change of fracture mode from ductile shear rupture to intergrannular and quasi-cleavage fracture.
The critical hydrogen concentration required to induce brittle cracking in ODS steels is in the range of 10-12 wppm that is almost one order higher value than the 9Cr-2W RMS.
