EMBRITTLEMENT OF METALS BY ORGANIC LIQUIDS

Abstract

It is shown that the Rebinder effect involving the embrittlement of steel by organic liquids is in reality due to water absorption by the organic species. The organic liquids which normally cause early fatigue do not produce this effect in the presence of a strong dehydration agent.
