“…Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a degradation phenomemon characterized by a significant reduction in mechanical properties when internal or environmental hydrogen is present [ 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Koyama et al [ 30 ] observed a remarkable decrease of ductility from 44% to 5% in a Fe-26Mn-11Al-1.2C (wt.%) austenitic low-density steel with only 0.14 ± 0.05 ppm diffusive hydrogen.…”

This study compares the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of a Fe-30Mn-8Al-1.2C austenitic low-density steel aged at 600 °C for 0 (RX), 1 min (A1) and 60 min (A60), each exhibiting varying sizes and distributions of nano-sized κ-carbides. Slow strain rate tests were conducted to assess hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility, while thermal desorption analysis was applied to investigate hydrogen trapping behaviors. Fracture surface analysis was employed to discuss the associated failure mechanisms. The results suggest that nano-sized κ-carbides with sizes ranging from 2–4 nm play a crucial role in mitigating hydrogen embrittlement, contrasting with the exacerbating effect of coarse grain boundary κ-carbides. This highlights the significance of controlling the sizes and morphology of precipitates in designing hydrogen-resistant materials.
