Key points
- Hydrogen embrittlement is caused by diffusible hydrogen's harmful effect on steel toughness.
- Prevention strategies involve reducing hydrogen entry into steel.
- Alternative methods focus on immobilizing hydrogen once it has penetrated the steel.

Abstract
The essential facts about the nature of the hydrogen embrittlement of steels have now been known for 140 years. It is diffusible hydrogen that is harmful to the toughness of iron. It follows, therefore, that the harmful influence of diffusible hydrogen can be mitigated by preventing its entry into steel or by rendering it immobile once it penetrates the material. This review deals with the methods that might be implemented to design steels and components that resist hydrogen embrittlement by reducing the intake of hydrogen or rendering it innocuous when it does penetrate the steel.
