This article presents an overview of the developments in stainless steels made since the
1990s. Some of the new applications that involve the use of stainless steel are also …

In many processes of steel industrial, including steel manufacture, storage, and service,
hydrogen could be absorbed into metallic materials, and the absorbed hydrogen seriously …

Seven stable austenitic steels (stable with respect to γ→ α′ transformation at room
temperature) of different alloy compositions (18Cr–12.5 Ni, 18Cr–35Ni, 18Cr–8Ni–6Mn …

Interpreting topological features on fracture surfaces in terms of the underlying deformation
processes has traditionally been based on assumed knowledge of the processes and …

The well-known term “hydrogen embrittlement”(HE) expresses undesirable effects due to
hydrogen such as loss of ductility, decreased fracture toughness, and degradation of fatigue …

Different charging conditions aimed at introducing significant hydrogen concentrations
without microstructural damages in a 316L austenitic stainless steel were investigated. The …

Plastic deformation is associated with developments in both dislocation density and residual
strain. This study used multi-scale diffraction-based, X-ray as well as electron diffraction …

We revealed the effects of hydrogen on the microstructural evolution and passive film
properties of a 2205 duplex stainless steel by the joint use of electron backscatter diffraction …

The development of high-strength pipeline steels with low susceptibility to hydrogen
embrittlement (HE) is essential in the energy industry. Studies focusing on the HE of steels …

Solid-solution hardening caused by dissolved hydrogen (H) atoms in face-centered cubic
metals is a favorable phenomenon that counteracts the H-induced degradation of …
