Study reveals clues to cause of hydrogen embrittlement in metals
Findings could guide design of new embrittlement-resistant materials
20-Nov-2012 -
Hydrogen, the lightest element, can easily dissolve and migrate within metals to make these otherwise ductile materials brittle and substantially more prone to failures.
Since the phenomenon was discovered in 1875, hydrogen embrittlement has been a persistent problem for the design of structural ...
