Hydrogen is an indispensable element in the energy transition and expected to be key for decarburization of the European society. Hydrogen embrittlement – recognized and in focus of materials science since almost 150 years – still causes catastrophic failure until today. It is well-understood that all mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement materialize at the scale of individual defects, such as dislocations, grain- and phase-boundaries. But we are still missing a correlative measurement of the mechanical behaviour of individual defects and the local hydrogen content, which is urgently needed to assess the occurrence, importance and magnitude of mechanisms playing a role during hydrogen…
