Which if the following materials are not susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking?
A) Carbon steel
B) Low alloy steel
C) Stainless steel
D) None of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stainless steel is not susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking due to its high corrosion resistance and low susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Carbon steel and low alloy steel, on the other hand, are susceptible to hydrogen stress cracking as they are not as resistant to corrosion and can become embrittled by hydrogen atoms entering the metal lattice.
