| 11. | The embrittlement can be eliminated by heating the steel above and then quickly cooling.
|
| 12. | The bolts were determined to have failed by a process known as hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 13. | The hydrogen can be absorbed into the cladding material, resulting in hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 14. | Hardening, embrittlement and internal damage are the main hydrogen damage processes in metals.
|
| 15. | Hydrogen embrittlement manifests as a reduction in ductility and eventually spalling of titanium surfaces.
|
| 16. | As technology evolves materials not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement are used in generator designs.
|
| 17. | Embrittlement or shrinkage is the common mode of failure of elastomers with exposure to ozone.
|
| 18. | Hydrogen embrittlement can be a problem in nickel in use in turbines at high temperatures.
|
| 19. | By far, the most damaging effect of hydrogen in structural materials is hydrogen embrittlement.
|
| 20. | The embrittlement is enhanced by slow strain rates and low temperatures, near room temperature.
