The flowing stress of a highstrength steel before unloading is different with the yield stress of the same sample extended in air after unloading and charging with hydrogen. The difference is the hydrogeninduced additive stress, which can help the external stress to enhance the plastic deformation. The hydrogeninduced additive stress,σad, induced through being immered in a 3.5% NaCl solution with pH=4 increases linearly with the yield strength of the sample,e.g.,σad=106.6 + 0.14σys. On the other hand, hydrogeninduced additive stress increases linearly with the logarithm of hydrogen concentration in the samples with the yield strengths of 900 and 1050 MPa,i.e,σad=55.5 + 63.6 lnC0(σys=900 MPa) andσad=23.5 + 64.2 lnC0(σys=1050 MPa). To sum up, the hydrogeninduced additive stress isσad=260 + 0.226σys+ 63.9 lnC0.
