Abstract
Historically, there have been a half-dozen hydrogen induced degradation models proposed. A few of these have since been rejected but the remaining ones can be categorized into two. For the first general category, hydrogen enhanced decohesion (HEDE) has been promoted as hydrogen lowering the forces required for atom separation reducing the brittle fracture stress. As to the second general category, this has been identified with hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP). Here, hydrogen lowers the forces required to localize dislocation plasticity thereby reducing shear stresses for ductile fracture. The following review points out general features of each with the historical development of both experimental and theoretical milestones in each decade from the 1950s or 1960s to the present day.
