The use of hydrogen poses high safety requirements as hydrogen can be absorbed by metallic materials and result in hydrogen embrittlement under certain condi-tions. For this reason, interactions of gaseous hydrogen and metallic materials are of high sci-entific and industrial interest. Slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) tests are commonly used to evaluate the hydrogen-induced ductility loss of alloys. However, the current standardised test method describes a complex and expensive procedure with limited availability worldwide. The hollow specimen technique promises huge potential for scaling suitable in-situ testing infra-structure and is currently under intensive development in several institutes around the world. As this method has only gained significant attention in the last decade, there are varying interpretations, particularly when testing materials with vastly different mechanical properties. Most available literature focuses on common steels used in hydrogen and natural gas piping systems. The present work provides an overview of the widespread applicability of hollow specimens in evaluating the effect of high-pressure hydrogen on the tensile properties of vari-ous metallic materials. The research presented includes Near-Net shape produced additively manufactured (AM) AISI 316 L, ferritic X65 steel, its weld seam, and solution annealed and hardened 100Cr6 steel.

An assessment of the hydrogen-induced degradation of pipeline steels is needed to inject H2 gas into the existing infrastructure safely. The conservative and standardized method consists of in-situ tensile tests in an autoclave filled with high-pressure hydrogen gas. A proposed alternative method involves using a hollow specimen as containment volume and applying the gas pressure in the inner cavity. This technique has lower costs and shorter test preparation time but is not standardized yet. This study aims to evaluate and compare the tensile properties of API 5L X65 pipeline steel in two states: vintage and modern. The influence of the surface roughness is investigated through parallel tests with drilled and reamed specimens. Hydrogen tests are compared with reference tests in an inert environment. A significant hydrogen-induced decrease in tensile properties is observed, and no significant difference between vintage and modern X65 can be drawn. The reduction in tensile properties is more significant in specimens with higher inner surface roughness. The evaluation of surface conditions appears crucial when assessing the HE susceptibility of hydrogen transport and storage equipment.
