Constant load tests of high-strength carbon steels with different micro-alloying using strengths in the range of 1000-1400 MPa were performed at ambient temperature under continuous electrochemical hydrogen charging. Hydrogen markedly affects delayed fracture of all the studied steels. Fractography of the studied steels shows that fracture mechanism depends on the chemical composition of the studied steels and hydrogen-induced cracking exhibits intergranular or transgranular character occurring often in the form of hydrogen flakes. The size and chemical composition of non-metallic inclusions are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Hydrogen-induced cracking initiates at TiN/TiC particles in steels with Ti alloying. Crack paths are studied with electron backscatter diffraction mapping to analyze crack initiation and growth. The thermal desorption spectroscopy method is used to analyze the distribution of hydrogen in the trapping sites. The mechanisms of hydrogen effects on fracture of highstrength steels are discussed.
