What is Hydrogen Embrittlement? Embrittlement in metal is a loss of ductility which results in the metal becoming brittle. There are a number of different types of embrittlement including liquid metal, absorption, and hydrogen to name a few. In this blog, we will be focusing on hydrogen embrittlement . The absorption of hydrogen into metal that causes embrittlement may have occurred during the manufacturing of the raw material, processing of a part that it is used in, welding of the metal, corrosion, or the environment it is stored in. When Hydrogen enters a metal due to any of the previously
