A new model for hydrogen-assisted cracking (hydrogen “embrittlement”)

TL;DR: A new model for hydrogen-assisted cracking is presented in this article, which explains the observations of decreasing microscopic plasticity and changes of fracture modes with decreasing stress intensities at crack tips during stress-corrosion cracking and HAC of quenched-and tempered steels.

Passivity breakdown, pit initiation and propagation of pits in metallic materials – Review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of literature which covers aspects of pitting corrosion observed in metallic materials, focussing on events associated with nucleation of pits, i.e. passivity breakdown, initiation of pits and their propagation stage.

Hydrogen Assisted Cracking of High Strength Alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, a plot of plane strain fracture toughness vs. tensile yield strength for ultra-high strength steels (UHSS) and beta-Ti alloys precipitation hardened with a phase is presented.

Tafel’s law in pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion susceptibility

J.R. Galvele
- 01 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the critical potentials for pitting are reviewed under the scope of their relation with the crevice corrosion mechanism and a short review of the correlation between pitting corrosion and Tafel's law is made.
