Abstract
The factors determining the rate of delayed fracture propagation at hydrogen embrittlement of welded joints of martensite steel at temperatures higher and lower than the revealed minimum of crack resistance (80-100 °C) and joints of bainite steel are considered. In addition to the known concepts it is shown that kinetics of delayed fracture can be determined by the character of distribution in the volume of metal of microplastic deformations, the propagation of which depends on the thermally-activated microstructural changes and rate of formation of local critical density of dislocations and hydrogen. In a general case the dependence of fracture duration on temperature is described using C-like curves.
