The amount of GdH2 precipitate was mostly associated with deformation and the gadolinium content. A model was introduced to explain the formation mechanism of GdH2 precipitate. The hydrogen in GdH2 precipitate principally came from the outside medium. Moreover, the diffusion and transportation of hydrogen were improved by the movement of dislocation.
