Hydrogen De Embrittlement
"On Hydrogen-induced Embrittlement"
The destruction of human objects is mostly due to hidden dangers, and hydrogen-induced embrittlement is one of them. Hydrogen is invisible and colorless, but it is harmful to all materials.
In the domain of metals, hydrogen enters it, often leading to the risk of embrittlement. Or because during smelting, hydrogen is mixed in it; or during the service period, the environment supplies hydrogen, causing hydrogen to accumulate. Hydrogen atoms are tiny and can seep into the lattice gap, disturbing its order. Accumulation is abundant, internal stress is generated, lattice distortion, and metal toughness is sharply reduced.
Looking at its shape, the material is stressed, and it does not show obvious plastic deformation, so it suddenly breaks. This is not a huge external force, but is actually caused by hydrogen embrittlement. At the beginning, the influence of hydrogen is not obvious, and with time, the hidden danger gradually expands, eventually causing the material to disintegrate.
To prevent hydrogen-induced embrittlement, start at the source. Smelting and controlling hydrogen, do not let it enter; when in service, avoid the environment of hydrogen enrichment. Or apply post-treatment methods to drive hydrogen out of the material, and the toughness of the composite material.
In short, although hydrogen-induced embrittlement is invisible, its harm is significant. Be reasonable and take precautions to ensure that the material is not damaged after long-term use, and the utensils are as strong as ever.
