In the present study, we report the hydrogenation of amorphous or nanocrystalline iron, cobalt and titanium-nickel based alloys. Hydrogenation of these materials leads to a multiple acceleration of the creep deformation at room temperature. After hydrogenation, an almost full reduction of the shear resistance was observed on the iron-based alloys. The physical and mechanical characteristics of the alloys return to the initial values after a complete evacuation of hydrogen from the samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
