Publisher's Synopsis
This volume begins with an invited perspective of the progress made in the study of hydrogen effects since the 1970s, then provides 94 papers documenting 5 years of research since the last major conference in this area.;The focus of these conference proceedings was to present and discuss key issues and topics in hydrogen interactions and mechanisms that control behaviour of metals. Topics include: hydrogen interactions; permeation; mechanical properties; crack-growth susceptibility; fracture mechanisms; stress corrosion; hydrogen in titanium alloys; hydrogen in stainless steels and superalloys; and engineering applications.
