Most heat treaters are aware of many failure phenomena, perhaps the most well-known of which is hydrogen embrittlement (aka hydrogen-assisted cracking). But there are several other types, such as liquid-metal embrittlement, that we must understand as well. Let’s learn more.
It is well known that certain metals are susceptible to a phenomenon known as liquid-metal embrittlement (LME), a.k.a. liquid-metal-induced embrittlement or liquid-metal cracking (LMC), when exposed to other metals in the liquid (or solid) state.
