Hydrogen e m b r i t t l e m e n t is shown to occur v e r y e a s i l y in n o t c h e d - r o u n d b a r s under opening mode I (tension) but not u n d e r a n t i p l a n e s h e a r mode III (torsion). The s t r e s s t e n s o r i n v a r i ants u n d e r mode I, II, and III loadings and how these affect i n t e r s t i t i a l diffusion a r e d i s c u s s e d . It is suggested that long r a n g e diffusion of hydrogen down o r t h o g o n a l t r a j e c t o r i e s to the v i c i n i t y of the c r a c k tip, which can o c c u r u n d e r mode I but not mode III, is a key p a r t of any hydrogen e m b r i t t l e m e n t m e c h a n i s m . This p r e m i s e was e v a l u a t e d with AISI 4340 s t e e l heat t r e a t e d to u l t r a h i g h s t r e n g t h l e v e l s . It was found that an i n i t i a l mode I s t r e s s i n t e n s i t y level of 17,000 p s i - i n , l/a p r o d u c e d f a i l u r e in s e v e r a l m i n u t e s .

The notch root r a d i i w e r e d e t e r m i n e d to be close to 0.003 in. except for one s p e c i m e n which had a r a d i u s of 0.004 in. The s p e c i m e n s were not p r e c r a c k e d v i a the s t a n d a r d fatigue p r o c e d u r e b e c a u s e of the difficulty in o b t a i n i n g a u n i f o r m c r a c k p e n e t r a t i o n in notched r o u n d c o n f i g u r a t i o n s .

It would have b e e n b e s t to e v a l u a t e all t h r e e loading modes.
