Abstract
For studying initial surface damages in metals together with the effects caused by active media, the microsclerometry method has been combined with the electrochemical reduction of an active component on the tested surface. The method made it possible to detect a liquid metal embrittlement (LME) effect in the absence of a liquid metal phase.
