Abstract

With the increasing use of hydrogen in the aerospace industries, there has been an increasing concern with the problem of gaseous hydrogen embrittlement. The problems have led to a rather large amount of research on the phenomenon. This paper reviews some of the results of this research and discusses possible mechanisms for the phenomenon.
