<p>The current review paper focused on the effect of crystallographic texture on hydrogen-induced cracking in pipeline steels through a literature review. Analyzing the effect of crystallographic texture on hydrogen-induced cracking in pipeline steel requires distinguishing between two types of crack propagation: intergranular and transgranular. In situations with limited grain boundary mobility at ambient temperature, transgranular crack propagation tends to be the prevailing mode. Grains oriented along &lt;001&gt; //ND in pipeline steels, characterized by less efficient atomic packing, increase the likelihood of transgranular crack propagation. On the contrary, grains oriented along &lt;011&gt; //ND and &lt;111&gt; //ND feature multiple slip systems, making crack propagation more challenging. Both intergranular and transgranular hydrogen-induced cracks can occur through various grain orientations, including &lt;001&gt; //ND, &lt;011&gt; //ND, and &lt;111&gt; //ND. This indicates that although crystallographic texture and grain orientation are significant factors in hydrogen-induced cracking propagation, they are not the exclusive determinants. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding and effective management of hydrogen-induced cracking require consideration of a range of microstructural features. The potential for intergranular crack propagation increases in situations where grain boundaries are high angle or possess high mobility. In such cases, a mismatch in the Taylor factor between adjacent grains can play a role in facilitating intergranular crack propagation. Finally, hydrogen atoms exhibit faster diffusion rates within grains oriented along &lt;001&gt; //ND and &lt;101&gt; //ND compared to those oriented along &lt;111&gt; //ND. However, there is no notable discrepancy in the diffusion behaviors between grains oriented along &lt;001&gt; //ND and &lt;101&gt; //ND.</p>
