This paper explains first how macroscopic values of fracture toughness can be reconciled with nano-scale models of fracture, by treating the macroscopic deformation as precursor work and considering local fracture events at the microscale. The effect of hydrogen on these local processes is then discussed with reference to transgranular cleavage, intergranular fracture, micro-void linkage and the formation of hydride cracks.Observations of" quasi-cleavage" propagation in hydrogen-charged mild steel are described, with attention being paid to the crystallography of crack advance. The main role of hydrogen is considered to be its effect on cohesion. Effects of pressure alone are held to be of less significance. Similar considerations hold for intergranular fractures and the effect of hydrogen on fast shear fracture is attributed to the weakening of particle/matrix interfacial cohesion. Finally, comments are made on hydride-assisted cracking.
