TLDR
In this article, a theory of hydrogen shielding of the interaction of dislocations with elastic stress centres is outlined, which can account for the observed hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility.
Abstract
The mechanisms of hydrogen-related fracture are briefly reviewed and a few evaluative statements are made about the stress-induced hydride formation, decohesion, and hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity mechanisms. A more complete discussion of the failure mechanism based on hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility is presented, and these observations are related to measurements of the macroscopic flow stress. The effects of hydrogen-induced slip localization on the measured flow stress is discussed. A theory of hydrogen shielding of the interaction of dislocations with elastic stress centres is outlined. It is shown that this shielding effect can account for the observed hydrogen-enhanced dislocation mobility.

Hydrogen absorption of titanium in acidic fluoride solutions

TL;DR: In this article, hydrogen absorption of pure titanium in acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) solutions of various concentrations has been examined by hydrogen thermal-desorption analysis, and the results clearly indicate that the degradation of the mechanical properties or fracture of titanium caused by hydrogen absorption occurs in acidic fluoride solutions.

Displacement field induced by a vacancy in nickel and some implications for the solubility of hydrogen

TL;DR: In this article, the displacement field induced by a vacancy in nickel and its possible implications for the hydrogen solubility in the interstitial sites is investigated up to 1100 K. The displacement field is extracted from previous atomistic-scale density functional theory calculations and is compared with continuous isotropic models with and without image forces due to the distribution of the defects.
