| 1. | Over the years several theories have been proposed to explain hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 2. | The hydrogen can be absorbed into the cladding material, resulting in hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 3. | Not doing so can lead to equipment failure from hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 4. | The process is hydrogen free, therefore a hydrogen embrittlement is excluded.
|
| 5. | By far, the most damaging effect of hydrogen in structural materials is hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 6. | Some materials, notably high-strength steels, aluminium, and titanium alloys, are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 7. | Deuterium and tritium also cause hydrogen embrittlement in many materials.
|
| 8. | As technology evolves materials not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement are used in generator designs.
|
| 9. | The bolts were determined to have failed by a process known as hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 10. | Hydrogen embrittlement manifests as a reduction in ductility and eventually spalling of titanium surfaces.
