Abstract

Based on simple thermodynamic models free energies of chemisorption of water vapor in transition metal aluminides and enthalpies and entropies of formation of solid solutions of hydrogen in the aluminides are derived. Susceptibilities of the aluminides to moisture-induced embrittlement are evaluated with these thermodynamic properties and compared with the susceptibilities to hydrogen-induced embrittlement.
