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.

Use of existing steel pipeline infrastructure for gaseous hydrogen storage and transport: A review of factors affecting hydrogen induced degradation

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a literature overview of the relevant aspects in this consideration, indicating ample scope for further research in all abovementioned aspects, indicating that the take-up of hydrogen by pipeline steel may be mitigated by the addition of gas impurities, i.e. inhibitors, to the gas mixture.

Numerical simulation of the transient hydrogen trapping process using an analytical approximation of the McNabb and Foster equation

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical solution for the differential equation of trapping kinetics is proposed, as a generalization of the Oriani's equilibrium relationship, which has been implemented in the Abaqus finite element software and validated by comparison with the one-dimensional kinetic MRE Hydrogen Isotope Inventory Processes Code (HIIPC).
