Abstract
Using the energetic approach, we generalize the influence of the main external service factors (mechanical, chemical, and thermal) on the change in the initial properties of structural materials. Temperature ranges of embrittlement are investigated for a number of austenitic steels and alloys in gaseous hydrogen under high pressure. We give recommendations on the proper choice of the structure and composition of structural materials operating in hydrogen according to a given cyclogram of the article. Practical examples demonstrating how to use these recommendations are presented.
