HYDROGEN DEGRADATION OF EXPLOSION CLADDED STEELS CONCLUSIONS Hydrogen causes significant changes in microstructure in the flyer layer (surface microcracks and blisters) and base layer (blisters) of the investigated clad plates. Annealing, which removes the high deformation of grains, allows to fabricate a clad plate, which may work in enviroment with hydrogen presence. Strong detoriation of microstructure, caused by explosion cladding, increases susceptibility to increased hydrogen embritllement in the thin layer of austenitic stainless steels along the interface. Annealing allows to avoid formation of brittle area along the interface, produce more homogeneous material and reduces the negative effect of hydrogen. 22/23
