5. Glossary
Fragilisation par l'hydrogène (FPH) ; Hydrogen embrittlement
Degradation of the mechanical properties of metal alloys in the presence of hydrogen, generally resulting in a drop in ductility and toughness and an acceleration in the rate of fatigue crack propagation.
Hydrogen Induced Decohesion (HID) or Hydrogen Enhanced Decohesion Embrittlement (HEDE)
Embrittlement mechanism associated with a drop in the cohesive energy of crystal planes or interfaces in the presence of hydrogen.
Hydrogen Enhanced Localized Plasticity (HELP)
An embrittlement mechanism associated with hydrogen-dislocation interactions in the volume of the material, resulting in a significant localization of plasticity, leading to a drop in macroscopic ductility.
