Microsclerometry as Applied to Studying Rehbinder Effect. Review

摘要

Works devoted to studying the effect of active environments on damageability of surfaces of solid bodies and materials upon contact actions (Rehbinder effect) have been briefly reviewed. A novel procedure, which combines microscratching and electrochemical reduction of an active component on a studied material surface, has been described. This procedure enables one to simulate and study the liquid-metal embrittlement of the material in the absence of a liquid metal phase on its surface.
