Abstract
Gibbs' adsorption equation and the Griffith and dislocation theories of fracture are used to calculate this lowering. The possibility that such adsorption causes the embrittlement of iron by hydrogen is discussed and is shown to be in good agreement with measured fracture stresses.Keywords
