| It should however be noted that excessive treatment can embrittle the substrate or even destroy the superficial coating. |
| This combination of gases produces a corrosive by-product that causes lesser pressure sensor technologies to embrittle and fail during the refining process of oil and gas. |
| Oxygen is able to embrittle beryllium, but there is no quantitative measure of the effect. |
| However, these coatings where the concentration of active HALS drops to zero at the surface are known to rapidly photooxidize and embrittle. |
| Above that, they will embrittle and cease to function as intended. |
| The high temperature treatment effaces the strains, coalesces the sulphide films in the ferrite which embrittle the steel and produces homogenity by rapid diffusion. |
