Purpose of this paper is presentation of forms of hydrogen degradation in steel along with pointing out methods for hydrogen degradation prevention. The paper outlines influence of nitrided layer on 34CrAlNi7-10 steel to its susceptibility to hydrogen degradation. Investigation was carried out with the use of slow strain tensile rate test (SSRT). Fracture surfaces after SSRT test were examined with scanning electron microscope (SEM) to reveal a mode and mechanism of cracking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
