- Chemical short-range order (CSRO) has emerged as a critical structural feature in concentrated alloys, yet its coupling with hydrogen remains an active discussion. Here, we develop a machine-learning interatomic potential for the Co-Ni-V-H system and investigate how CSRO regulates hydrogen energetics and dislocation behavior in CoNiV, an alloy with reported strong resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. We identify strong V-centered ordering that suppresses V-V clustering and significantly reshapes the hydrogen solution landscape. Compared to a chemically random alloy, the ordered state exhibits higher average hydrogen solution energies and a reduced population of strongly binding sites, indicating lower bulk hydrogen uptake. At partial dislocations, hydrogen preferentially segregates to tensile core regions, acting as a shallow, reversible trap with a much weaker effect compared to chemical trapping states. These results demonstrate that local chemical order strongly regulates hydrogen-dislocation coupling and provide an atomistic understanding for tuning hydrogen-assisted deformation in concentrated CoNiV alloys.
