Vetyembrittlementtiä
Vetyembrittlementtiä, also known as hydrogen embrittlement, is a phenomenon where the ductility and toughness of a metal are reduced due to the presence of hydrogen. This process typically occurs when hydrogen atoms diffuse into the metal lattice, often during manufacturing, welding, or service in environments containing hydrogen, such as in the oil and gas industry or in the production of hydrogen fuel cells.
The mechanism behind vetyembrittlementtiä involves the interaction of hydrogen with the metal's crystal structure. Hydrogen atoms
The effects of vetyembrittlementtiä can be particularly severe in high-strength metals, which are often used in
Preventing and mitigating vetyembrittlementtiä involves several strategies. One approach is to use materials that are less
Understanding and addressing vetyembrittlementtiä is crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of structures and components
