TLDR
In this article, a theory of hydrogen shielding of the interaction of dislocations with elastic stress centres is outlined, which can account for the observed hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility.
Abstract
The mechanisms of hydrogen-related fracture are briefly reviewed and a few evaluative statements are made about the stress-induced hydride formation, decohesion, and hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity mechanisms. A more complete discussion of the failure mechanism based on hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility is presented, and these observations are related to measurements of the macroscopic flow stress. The effects of hydrogen-induced slip localization on the measured flow stress is discussed. A theory of hydrogen shielding of the interaction of dislocations with elastic stress centres is outlined. It is shown that this shielding effect can account for the observed hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility.

Experimental verification of the hydrogen concentration around a crack tip using spot X-ray diffraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed X-ray diffraction using collimated X-rays to quantitatively evaluate the local hydrogen concentration behavior in metals, and demonstrated that hydrogen concentrates in the vicinity of the crack, i.e., at the elastic-plastic boundary.

A new model for hydrogen-assisted cracking (hydrogen “embrittlement”)

TL;DR: A new model for hydrogen-assisted cracking is presented in this article, which explains the observations of decreasing microscopic plasticity and changes of fracture modes with decreasing stress intensities at crack tips during stress-corrosion cracking and HAC of quenched-and tempered steels.
