Hydrogen attack and the associated change in mechanical properties in a 3Cr–1Mo–0.25V steel subjected to a simulated welding thermal treatment were investigated to show the influence of welding conditions on the heat affected zone. The maximum peak temperature reached in the simulated welding process affected the microstructure, which in turn is related to the occurrence of different quantities of methane bubbles.
