Abstract The resistance of hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) in two different microstructures of API X65MS steel plates was investigated with plastic deformation. A banded type of polygonal ferrite/acicular ferrite (PF/AF) microstructure and a single phase acicular ferrite (AF) were produced by controlling the rolling and cooling conditions. As plastic deformation increased, dislocation density was increased, particularly in the banded AF within the two phase PF/AF microstructure. In contrast, the dislocation density was increased uniformly in the single phase AF microstructure. It was found that HIC resistance deteriorated with increasing plastic deformation. Between the two different types of microstructures, the uniform AF showed better HIC resistance and higher crack propagation resistance than PF/AF, which can be attributed to the more uniform distribution of dislocation density in the AF microstructure.
