Abstract
This article considers some fundamental aspects of the hydrogen microprint technique (HMT) recently developed, namely, sensitivity and resolving power, as well as practical considerations like experimental resolving power and spurious corrosion. Finally, applications of HMT to the study of hydrogen distribution in duplex stainless steel, low-carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel have been described. Simplicity and precision are distinct features of this technique, which is proving to be a valuable tool in the study of hydrogen embrittlement of metals and alloys.
