Fracture resistance is affected by microstructural features and morphology in line pipe steels exposed to hydrogen.
Tests showed a correlation between higher fracture toughness and bainitic features, particularly in higher strength grades.
Microstructural analysis identified relationships between grain size, distribution, and fracture resistance in hydrogen environments.
Understanding these microstructural effects could lead to advancements in pipeline steel designs for safer hydrogen transport.
