Antagonist effects of grain boundaries between the trapping process and the fast diffusion path in nickel bicrystals

Abstract Hydrogen-grain-boundaries interactions and their role in intergranular fracture are well accepted as one of the key features in understanding hydrogen embrittlement in a large variety of common engineer situations. These interactions implicate some fundamental processes classified as segreg...
