The present work investigates the influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of four multiphase high strength steels by means of tensile tests on notched samples. This was done by performing mechanical tests on both hydrogen charged and uncharged specimens at a cross-head displacement speed of 5 mm/min. A considerable hydrogen influence was observed, as the ductility dropped by 8-60%. In order to demonstrate the influence of diffusible hydrogen, some parameters in the experimental set-up were varied. After tensile tests, fractography was performed. It was found that hydrogen charging caused a change from ductile to transgranular cleavage failure near the notch with a transition zone to a fracture surface with ductile features near the centre.
