The Effects of Hydrostatic Loading on Hydrogen Diffusion in Nickel

137527-Thumbnail Image.png
Description
Hydrogen diffusion causes brittleness and cracking at stresses below the yield strength of susceptible metals. The effects of hydrostatic loading on the rate of hydrogen diffusion is relatively unknown. A study of these effects will provide a better understanding in the design process for accounting for the resulting hydrogen embrittlement.
