Abstract

This chapter describes fretting fatigue of austenitic stainless steels in presence of hydrogen. The fretting fatigue strength is degraded by hydrogen and its mechanisms are revealed based on surface analysis and observations of fretting fatigue cracks and microstructures changed due to adhesion.
