Abstract
Sustained load systems served to characterize the effect of cadmium pl ating on the susceptibility of five martensitic high-strength steels t o hydrogen embrittlement, Notched specimens were used to circumvent th e incubation time. It was found that the threshold stress was about 90 percent of the corresponding notched tensile strength (NTS), except f or Custom 455 alloy, which was quite immune to embrittlement by a cadm ium plating process.
