Understanding the influence of hydrogen on BCC iron grain boundaries using the kinetic activation relaxation technique (k-ART) by Aynour Khosravi, Jun Song, Normand Mousseau

“…These results indicate that the presence of hydrogen rigidifies the direct GB interface layers while allowing more atoms to be active for the $\Sigma 37$ GB. This provides a microscopic basis to support the existence of competing mechanisms compatible with either plasticity (such as hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity—HELP) or energy-dominated (hydrogen enhanced decohesion mechanism—HEDE) embrittlement, with the relative importance of these mechanisms determined by the local geometry of the GBs.…”
