One of the major sources of catastrophic failures and deterioration of the mechanical properties of materials, such as ductility, toughness, and strength, of various engineering components during application is hydrogen embrittlement (HE). It occurs through adsorption, diffusion, and the interaction of hydrogen with various metal defects like dislocations, voids, grain boundaries, and oxide/matrix interfaces due to its small atomic size. This research was aimed at assessing the tensile properties; toughness, ductility, ultimate tensile strength, and yield strength of cold-finished mild steel samples owing to the diffusion of hydrogen. Samples were subjected to electrochemical hydrogen charging in a carefully chosen alkaline solution over a particular period. Tensile properties tests were conducted immediately post the charging process, and the results were compared with those of uncharged samples. This evaluation has enabled the prediction of the level of embrittlement to expect given a specific hydrogen concentration.
