Abstract
The effects of moisture and hydrogen on the mechanical behavior of aluminides and suicides is reviewed. Compounds formerly thought to be intrinsically brittle are, in many cases, embrittled by the test atmosphere. The degree of ductility loss is a function of metallurgical variables such as alloy composition, vacancy content, surface pre-deformation and grain size and external variables such as test temperature and strain rate. In a few instances moisture is shown to affect yield stress as well as ductility. The role of stoichiometry and trace element additions such as boron and carbon are discussed. Finally, methods of alleviating embrittlement are described.
