Thermodynamic competition and hydrogen redistribution by coherent nanoprecipitates in high-strength steels
Designing nanoprecipitates as static hydrogen traps is a widely used strategy to mitigate hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in high-strength steels, yet increasing trapping capacity alone may not ensure resistance under dynamic loading. Here, the effect of Cu-rich precipitate evolution (B2 → BCC/9 R → FCC) on HE in low-a...
