Research Abstract |
In the light of plastic deformation at nano scale, this study investigated the mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement which is caused by hydrogen diffusion into a material. Nano indentation applying to high strength steels and model materials revealed that hydrogen absorption enhanced plastic deformation. This finding was also observed in the interfacial fracture toughness test, indicating that plastic deformation of thin film (which surrounds crack propagation) was promoted by hydrogen absorption, leading the variation in apparent fracture toughness.
