Carbon steels and low-alloy steels are of prime concern, particularly older steels. 400 series SS are also susceptible even if not embrittled. In addition, materials susceptible to an embrittling mechanism such as sigma phase embrittlement (3.56), 885 °F (475 °C) embrittlement (3.1), temper embrittlement (3.63), strain-aging embrittlement (3.60), or titanium hydriding (3.66) pose a risk for brittle fracture if they are sufficiently embrittled.
