International research team shows how hydrogen affects Nickel-base superalloys at elevated temperatures. Latest results published in journal Nature Materials.
Oxides find broad applications as catalysts or in electronic components, however are generally brittle materials where dislocations are difficult to activate in the covalent rigid lattice. Here, the link between plasticity and fracture is critical for wide-scale application of functional oxide materials.
