Abstract
The variation in the pop-in load during electrochemical nanoindentation of Fe 3 wt.% Si alloy at different cathodic polarizations was measured. It is clearly shown that a higher hydrogen chemical potential results in a lower pop-in load, which is an indication of easier dislocation nucleation below the tip. Classic dislocation theory and defactant model are used to analyze the data and calculate the excess hydrogen on the dislocation line at different electrochemical potentials.
