Type 310 stainless steel in thin sections was embrittled by hydrogen. The temperature and strain rate dependence of this embrittlement was almost analogous to that well-established for hydrogenated body-centered cubic (b.c.c.) metals, differing only in that at low temperatures and relatively high strain rates complete recovery in ductility was not achieved. The activation energy for recovery in ductility, determined by aging at several temperatures, was 10,900 cal/mole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
