caustic embrittlement (′kö·stik im′brid·əl·mənt) (metallurgy) Intercrystalline cracking of steel caused by exposure to caustic solutions above 70°C while under tensile stress; once common in riveted boilers. Also known as caustic cracking.
Hydrogen does occur in the diatomic form because it consists of the single positively charged electron and proton.
Hydrogen bonding can occur when either Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Florine is involved.
FON The atoms that hydrogen bonds to when hydrogen bonding occurs, due to electronegativity variance, are; Fluorine Oxygen Nitrogen
Hydrogen bonds occur in bonding many elements, or compunds.. without them, we would surely die.
Hydrogen embrittlement is a phenomenon that occurs when some metals and alloys are exposed to hydrogen and absorb a sufficient amount of it. The presence of hydrogen interrupts the normal delocalization of bonding electrons in metal objects, and as a result, the metal object loses most or all of its ductility, breaking easily when deformed.Hydrogen embrittlement is the process by which various metals, most importantly high-strength steel, become brittle and fracture following exposure to hydrogen.

Depends on hardness level and grain structure. If martensitic, likely yes
Hydrogen is not a corrosive gas; but the hydrogen absorbed in metals may lead to the formation of metal hydrides and to embrittlement.

The SS 410 is basically martenstic stainless steel which are more susceptible to hydrogen diffusivities, result in embrittlement Thus, SS 316 have better corrosion resistance than SS 410 material
Embrittlement is a loss of ductility of a material, making it brittle. Various materials have different mechanisms of embrittlement.
if your 2 wheeler has an internal combustion engine, then yes. There is a problem faced with the supplementation of hydrogen or the aid of hydrogen. This issue is embrittlement. The hydrogen molecules begin to saturate the pores of the steels within the engine. As this continues the steel gets further enriched with hydrogen. parts begin to show stress fracturing and finally begin to fail structurally. piston rings, valves, piston heads, ect.

New ones built now would be expected to last for 60 years, this is mostly dependent on the main pressure vessel steel and its embrittlement under irradiation.
