Models explaining hydrogen embrittlement as caused by enhanced local plasticity are discussed in the light of a novel concept describing solute-defect interaction in a thermodynamic framework. Solute atoms segregating at defects with an excess Gamma are called defactants because they lower the defect formation energy of defects gamma, analagous to the action of surfactants with surfaces. The corresponding decrease is given by d gamma = -Gamma d mu, where mu is the chemical potential of the defactant. This equation is applied to recent nanoindentation results, and reveals a lower energy barrier for the generation of dislocation loops in the presence of hydrogen. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc.
