Hydrogen absorption by and the desorption rate of hydrogen from steel were studied as a function of cold work from 0 to 55.4 percent reduction using cold-drawn capped and killed SAE 1020 steel. Increased cold work increased the hydrogen solubility in these steels. Hydrogen desorption rate increased with increasing cold work until a maximum was reached at some point below 30.5 percent reduction. With further reduction, the desorption rate decreased. 3.7.3
