Abstract In this study, the effect of intergranular ferrite volume fraction on the hydrogen delayed fracture (HDF) resistance of high strength boron-added steel was investigated. For this purpose, constant loading test using cathodically charged specimens was conducted on the three intergranular ferrite volume fractions, i.e., 000, 6% and l0%. With the increase of the amount of intergranular ferrite volume fractions, the HDF resistance in boron-added steel was increased. TEM and SEM observations revealed that the intergranular ferrite took the carbides nucleation sites at grain boundaries, and as a result, the crack nucleation sites were reduced. And the result of thermal desorption analysis showed that the grain boundaries were the main trapping sites.
