## About Hydrogen resistant steels

Hydrogen resistant steels are steels designed to withstand hydrogen-related damage, including hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen attack. They are used for pressure vessels, piping and process equipment exposed to hydrogen-containing environments, where resistance to hydrogen ingress and loss of toughness is important.

This describes the material class as a whole. Always confirm the individual grade against the standard before ordering.

Indicative taken from a published cross-reference table; a close match, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify against the mill certificate before ordering.

Withdrawn designation no longer current — a separate column from the two above, so a name can be same grade and withdrawn at once.

What this alloy is

Iron — the balance, never listed by a standard — 94.3 % Cr — 3.2 % Mo — 0.6 % V — 0.5 % Traces & impurities · 1.5 %

Logarithmic scale, 0.01 % to 100 % — every value here compares directly, decade by decade.

| Element | % by weight |

0.01 % 0.1 % 1 % 10 % 100 %

The scale is logarithmic, not the element’s raw share of the alloy — the only honest way to fit 0.01 % and 100 % in one picture, and it means every value here can be compared with every other.

## Predicted transformation temperatures

 computed from composition · °C

Predicted Ae3 811 °C

Predicted Ae1 796 °C

Predicted Acm 528 °C

Predicted Bs 465 °C

These four temperatures are a CALCULATION from this grade's own composition, using the published Li, Niebuhr, Meekisho & Atteridge (1998) model — never a measurement, and computed from the UPPER BOUND of each element's specified range, not a mid-range figure. Where this grade also has a measured transformation point (Ac1, Ac3, Ar1, Ar3) on file, it is shown separately, in Physical & mechanical properties, and is never replaced by the predicted figures here — Ae (predicted, equilibrium) and Ac/Ar (measured, on heating or cooling) are different physical quantities and can differ by tens of degrees; a mismatch between the two is not an error in either.

## Physical & mechanical properties

Density 7,85 g/cm³ Exact

An absent property means we hold no value for it — it is left out rather than estimated, interpolated from a neighbouring grade, or filled from a handbook. It does not mean the property is undefined for the material.
