AB The influence of hydrogen on the mechanical behavior of a quenched and tempered 42CrMo4 steel has been evaluated by means of high internal pressure fracture tests carried out on hydrogen precharged notched cylindrical specimens. The notched cylindrical specimens were precharged in a 1 M H2SO4 + 0.25 g/l As2O3 solution for 3 h with 1.2 mA/cm2. Hydraulic fracture tests were performed at different loading rates. Hydrogen embrittlement resistance increased with grain size refinement although the fine grained specimen had a higher hydrogen content than the coarse grained one. Fractographic analysis showed hydrogen enhanced decohesion fracture was less pronounced with decreasing grain size. Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility is discussed in terms of the prior austenite grain size (PAGS) and the operative fracture mechanisms.
