While the coupling effect of homogenously distributed secondary voids is well-documented, the rigor of our approach lies in the precise definition of an array of equally sized and spaced secondary voids nucleated aligning with the hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms HEDE, HELP and HESIV, in the ligament between primary voids. The CVHE model can quantitatively predict the full range of embrittlement; it naturally reveals the brittle inter-ligament decohesion associated with an intrinsic lower bound of ductility, when the secondary voids are sufficiently small.
