Summary:The microstructure evolution and the fatigue damage mechanism of hydrogen-charged high-strain pipeline steel during the cyclic strain loading is studied. Hydrogen promotes the formation of dislocation walls and cells, and causes the lattice distortion iron atoms to move to the grain boundary, resulting in grain refinement. The fatigue life is reduced to more than 40 % when the strain amplitude reaches 0.5 % after hydrogen-charged. The main reasons for the reduce are the decrease of the number and the change of propagation mode of secondary cracks, and the increase of cleavage fracture and the decrease of deflection angle in the main cracks. •Hydrogen accelerates the grain refinement in cyclic strain loading.•Hydrogen promotes the rapid formation of dislocation walls and cells.•Hydrogen causes the change of fatigue main crack and secondary crack growth modes.
