The susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement increases with increasing strength of steel materials. The main research objective of my study is to elucidate the effectiveness of precipitate composition and size on hydrogen trapping ability of high strength steel materials. The experimental approach combines various mechanical tests with microscopy, hydrogen permeation test and hydrogen visualization, which will then be fed into simulations.
