BACKGROUND. Cloud droplets freeze homogeneously at temperatures below -37ºC, but the presence of ice nucleating particles (INP) can induce freezing at much higher temperatures.
Background. Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) / Stress Oriented Hydrogen Induced Cracking (SOHIC) is the process of hydrogen forming metals becoming brittle as a result of the diffusion mechanisms of hydrogen into the microstructure of steel structures.
