The nucleation process of hydrogen blister in metals was investigated through experiments and the mechanism was discussed. Small hydrogen blister in charged Ni-P amorphous coating and steel was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermodynamics and kinetics of hydrogen and vacancies in metals are analyzed. Further, an approach of the nucleation mechanism of hydrogen blister is proposed as follows. Atomic hydrogen can induce superabu...
