Experiments and mathematical modeling of the dynamics of the heating of metallic specimens and the diffusion of hydrogen inside them show that not all the hydrogen which has a high bond energy is extracted from the specimens by the method of melting them in a stream of a carrier gas. This finding might present serious obstacles to reliably determining hydrogen content by this method in aluminum-magnesium and aluminum-lithium alloys.
