Hydrogen Embrittlement at Cleavage Planes and Grain Boundaries in Bcc Iron—Revisiting the First-Principles Cohesive Zone Model
Hydrogen embrittlement, which severely affects structural materials such as steel, comprises several mechanisms at the atomic level. One of them is hydrogen enhanced decohesion (HEDE), the phenomenon of H accumulation between cleavage planes, where it reduces the interplanar cohesion. Grain boundari...
