Mechanical properties and hydrogen embrittlement of scandium

Description

The strength and ductility of polycrystalline scandium have been studied as a function of hydrogen concentration and test temperature. The effects of hydrogen on the mechanical behavior of scandium are discussed in terms of current embrittlement concepts for hydride forming metals. Hydrogen concentrations ranging from 0.20 to 20.83 atomic percent and temperatures from 78 to 473K were employed in this investigation. SEM fractographs are shown to illustrate the modes of tensile failure
