Abstract
Introduction This report deals with two important causes of service failures in high strength steels: stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement. These failure modes are often difficult to distinguish from one another fractographically, and sometimes the macroscopic and metallagraphic interpretation is also open to doubt.
