Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Hydrogen solubility increases with an increase in the degree of deformation. This effect develops more strongly with cold working than with hot working, which is connected with the presence of a larger number of structural defects and absence of recrystallization in cold-worked steel.

  2. 2.

    Optimum hydrogen distribution and an increase in its solubility in hot-worked steel is achieved after exposure at 650°C for 25–50 h.
