You wish to carry out hydrogen embrittlement test on your metals

Hydrogen embrittlement is a phenomenon that causes metals to crack on contact with hydrogen. It is a common phenomenon due to the diffusion and dissolution of hydrogen in metals. Combined with mechanical stresses, hydrogen creates hairline cracks that progressively enlarge over time. Hydrogen embrittles metals by several mechanisms. This can be due to internal pressures, weakening of the bonds between atoms, and a decrease in ductility. The FILAB laboratory performs hydrogen embrittlement characterisation on your metals.
