Abstract
The influence of hydrogen on the fracture behavior of α-iron was studied using computer simulation. The results indicate that the relative probability of (101) plane cleavage is enhanced compared with that for the (010) plane, although the lowest load for fracture is not decreased. Some limitations of the interatomic potentials used are discussed.
