Mechanisms of Corrosion Fatigue. The generalized corrosion fatigue cracking mechanism involves the single or mutual occurrence of hydrogen-induced cracking or anodic dissolution at the crack tip. Hydrogen embrittlement(hydrogen-induced cracking or hydrogen-assisted cracking) can be divided into five types of mechanisms : 1) decohesion 2) pressure 3) adsorption 4) deformation 5) brittle hydride … 1, record 4, English, - hydrogen%2Dassisted%20cracking
