The initiation of intergranular corrosion at various types of grain boundaries (GBs) was studied at the nanometer scale on microcrystalline copper in 1 mM HCl aqueous solution. In situ Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (ECSTM)…
Coincidence Site Lattice (CSL) grain boundaries (GBs) are believed to be low-energy, resistant to intergranular fracture, as well as to hydrogen embrittlement. Nevertheless, the behavior of CSL-GBs are generally confused with their angular…
The role that grain boundary (GB) structure plays on the plasticity of interfaces with preexisting cracks and on the interface crack dynamics was investigated using MD for both <100> and <110> aluminum STGBs. In simulations with a crack at…
Grain boundaries (GBs) play a fundamental role in the strengthening mechanism of crystalline structures by acting as an impediment to dislocation motion. However, the presence of an aggressive environment such as hydrogen increases the…
Hydrogen enhanced cracking is one of the many failure mechanisms in metals depending on the corrosive environment. In the presented work, a multiscale constitutive model has been presented for hydrogen enhanced intergranular cracking in…
There are still debates regarding the mechanisms that lead to hot cracking in parts build by additive manufacturing (AM) of non-weldable Ni-based superalloys. This lack of in-depth understanding of the root causes of hot cracking is an…
Steel is a key structural material because of its considerable strength and ductility. However, when exposed to hydrogen, it is prone to embrittlement. Mechanistic understanding of the origin of hydrogen embrittlement is hampered by the…
The effect of crystallography on transgranular chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (TGCISCC) of arc welded 304L austenitic stainless steel is studied on >300 grains along crack paths. Schmid and Taylor factor mismatches across grain…
Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC) is a material degradation phenomenon affecting austenitic stainless steels used in nuclear Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR), leading to the initiation and propagation of intergranular…
Grain boundaries (GBs) in metals usually increase electrical resistivity due to their distinct atomic arrangement compared to the grain interior. While the GB structure has a crucial influence on the electrical properties, its relationship…
Chromium depletion at grain boundaries (GBs) due to selective attack is a critical issue in the molten salt corrosion of NiCr alloys. Despite the importance of GBs in this process from numerous experimental studies, most theoretical work…
The uniaxial tensile test response of a H decorated $\Sigma$ 5 [100] twist grain boundary (GB) in face-centered-cubic Al has been examined with first principles. The impurity shows a strong tendency to relocate during loading. To capture…
We present a combined phase field and cohesive zone formulation for hydrogen embrittlement that resolves the polycrystalline microstructure of metals. Unlike previous studies, our deformation-diffusion-fracture modelling framework accounts…
Slow strain rates tests (SSRT) were conducted on hydrogen-containing specimens of PH13-8Mo maraging stainless steel. Hydrogen-assisted subcritical quasi-cleavage cracking was shown to take place during SSRT, thus accelerating material…
For its potential as a catalyst, nanoporous gold (NPG) prepared through dealloying of bulk Ag-Au alloys has been extensively investigated. NPG thin films can offer ease of handling, better tunability of the chemistry and microstructure of…
Bi-layer graphene (BLG) can be a cheaper and more stable alternative to graphene in several applications. With its mechanical strength being almost equivalent to graphene, BLG also brings advanced electronic and optical properties to the…
Finite element analysis of stress about a blunt crack tip, emphasizing finite strain and phenomenological and mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity (SGP) formulations, is integrated with electrochemical assessment of occluded-crack tip…
Grain boundary wetting as a preliminary stage for zinc induced grain boundary weakening and embrittlement in a Zn coated press hardened 20MnB8 steel was analyzed by means of electron backscatter diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy,…
The resistance to fracture of reversible biopolymer hydrogels is an important control factor of the cutting/slicing and eating characteristics of food gels. It is also critical for their utilization in tissue engineering, for which…
This study clarifies the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) behavior in a 1.5 GPa ferrite-martensite dual-phase (DP) steel. Hydrogen pre-charging (3.8 mass ppm diffusible hydrogen), followed by slow strain tensile testing (10-4 s-1), resulted in a…
