This presentation will discuss the importance of nickel in austenite stainless steels for resistance against hydrogen embrittlement. This has been demonstrated and the finding is that low nickel versions of 316L have less resistance. However, in some parts of Europe it is common to use Ti-stabilised grades and 316Ti also called 1.4571. Hydrogen embrittlement testing ion thermal precharged specimens, a method earlier shown give similar results as 875 bar hydrogen gas at -40°C, was performed and compared to high and low nickel version of 316L with 316Ti. Even higher nickel content in 316Ti than the low nickel version of 316L, both grades experienced similar brittle failure.
