Summary:The effect of hydrogen in AHSS material (automobile and structural component) was discussed. Dual Phase steels were highly susceptible to hydrogen-related failure when working on hydrogen environment. The influence of hydrogen on TRIP steel was seen during fractographic examination where the brittle transgranular fracture was presented. TWIP steels results were inconsistent. The mechanisms which were responsible for crack growth are discussed. LIST and SSRT testing were performed for mechanical properties evaluation and SEM and TEM were used for microstructural examination of fractured samples. Simultaneous preventing methods to reduce hydrogen embrittlement such as coating, alloying and providing diffusion layer were discussed. •AHSS materials are susceptible towards the hydrogen embrittlement.•Ductility of AHSS materials are reduced significantly with and without reduction in ultimate tensile strength.•Behavior of TWIP steels in hydrogen environment was inconsistent.•Traps can reduce the hydrogen susceptibility in AHSS material.•Coatings are used to reduce hydrogen penetration.
