Hydrogen Embrittlement 

Hydrogen embrittlement reduces ductility, often to the point where metals behave like ceramics. Hydrogen embrittlement failures have even been observed in unassembled parts in inventory, a phenomenon known as “shelf popping”.

Sudden brittle fracture in high strength steels resulting from hydrogen embrittlement represents an extremely dangerous phenomenon to industry, particularly since it is usually the result of factors that occur during the manufacturing process.
