Hydrogen embrittlement (HE), also known as hydrogen-assisted cracking or hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), is a reduction in the ductility of a metal due to absorbed hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms are small and can permeate solid metals.
Embrittled pinch roller. Embrittlement is a significant decrease of ductility of a material, which makes the material brittle.Embrittlement is used to describe any phenomena where the environment compromises a stressed material's mechanical performance, such as temperature or environmental composition.
Since SSC is a form of hydrogen embrittlement, it is most susceptibile to cracking at or slightly below ambient temperature. Sulfide stress cracking has special importance in the gas and oil industry , as the materials being processed there ( natural gas and crude oil ) often contain considerable amounts of hydrogen sulfide.
Hydrogen lowers tensile ductility in many materials. In ductile materials, like austenitic stainless steels and aluminium alloys, no marked embrittlement may occur, but may exhibit significant lowering in tensile ductility (% elongation or % reduction in area) in tensile tests.
Hydrogen embrittlement – Reduction in ductility of a metal exposed to hydrogen; Ozone cracking – Cracks in many different elastomers due to ozone attack; Polymer degradation – Alteration in the polymer properties under the influence of environmental factors; Season cracking – Form of stress-corrosion cracking of brass cartridge cases
Flax meal. Flax meal, or ground flaxseeds, mixed with water creates what is popularly known as a "flax egg." The seeds absorb the water and form a gel-like substance.
High temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA), also called hot hydrogen attack or methane reaction, is a problem which concerns steels operating at elevated temperatures (typically above 400 °C (752 °F)) in hydrogen-rich atmospheres, such as refineries, petrochemical and other chemical facilities and, possibly, high pressure steam boilers.
