Various test methods are used in evaluating the resistance of steels to hydrogen-assisted damage. The results depend on factors relating to the test equipment and the environmental conditions selected as well as the material being tested. The objective of the present work was therefore to investigate the influence of the materials used for test equipment and the environmental conditions selected on the hydrogen-assisted corrosion processes. The intention was to establish comparable and reproducible test criteria. In the course of this work a new buffered test solution for use in laboratory tests has been evaluated.
