Hydrogen gas porosity

ID: hydrogen-gas-porosity

Hydrogen gas porosity refers to the presence of voids or pores within a material that can trap hydrogen gas. This concept is particularly relevant in various fields, including materials science, metallurgy, and engineering, where hydrogen can have significant effects on the mechanical properties and stability of materials. In metals and alloys, hydrogen can diffuse into the material, especially during processes like welding or when exposed to hydrogen environments, leading to issues such as hydrogen embrittlement.
