11. The embrittlement can be eliminated by heating the steel above and then quickly cooling. 12. The bolts were determined to have failed by a process known as hydrogen embrittlement . 13. The hydrogen can be absorbed into the cladding material, resulting in hydrogen embrittlement . 14. Hardening, embrittlement and internal damage are the main hydrogen damage processes in metals. 15. Hydrogen embrittlement manifests as a reduction in ductility and eventually spalling of titanium surfaces. 16. As technology evolves materials not susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement are used in generator designs. 17. Embrittlement or shrinkage is the common mode of failure of elastomers with exposure to ozone.18. Hydrogen embrittlement can be a problem in nickel in use in turbines at high temperatures. 19. By far, the most damaging effect of hydrogen in structural materials is hydrogen embrittlement . 20. The embrittlement is enhanced by slow strain rates and low temperatures, near room temperature.
