Hydrogen embrittlement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hydrogen embrittlement (or hydrogen grooving ) is the process by which various metals, most importantly high-strength steel, become brittle and crack following exposure to hydrogen. Hydrogen cracki...

Embrittlement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Embrittlement is a loss of ductility of a material, making it brittle. Various materials have different mechanisms of embrittlement. • Hydrogen embrittlement is the effect of hydrogen absorption on s...

Hydrogen embrittlement is a major cause of fastener failure. Prevailing thought is that steels with Rockwell hardness above C30 are vulnerable. The phenomenon is well-known although the precise mechanism has eluded extensive research.

Hydrogen Embrittlement of Mechanical Fasteners ... The embrittlement of of metal or alloy by atomic hydrogen involves the ingress of hydrogen into a component, an event that can seriously reduce the ductility and load-bearing capacity, cause cracking and catastrophic brittle failures at stresses below the yield stress...

Encyclopedia article about embrittlement. Information about embrittlement in the Columbia Encyclopedia, Computer Desktop Encyclopedia, computing dictionary. ... Low-temperature embrittlement results from a competition between deformation and brittle fracture, with the latter becoming preferred at a critical temperature.

Embrittlement is not a substantiated threat. It takes specific circumstances to reproduce this phenomenon. I have available copies of Dr. Roy McAlister's book "The Solar Hydrogen Civilization" that covers this subject.
