Revisiting stress-corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement in 7xxx-Al alloys at the near-atomic-scale
High-strength Al alloys are sensitive to stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement that limit their applications. Here the authors examine them at near-atomic scale using advanced microscopy and reveal hydrogen at dislocations and grain boundaries, and subsequent microstructural changes.
