Embrittlement is one of the biggest obstacles facing the transition to a global hydrogen economy. A new process uncovered by researchers is helping shed light on how to better prevent it. Why hydrogen ...

Hydrogen is a promising fuel for developing sustainable industrial processes, but its use is hindered by hydrogen embrittlement—a phenomenon that weakens metals and can cause sudden failure. Now, ...

When deciding what material to use for infrastructure projects, metals are often selected for their durability. However, if placed in a hydrogen-rich environment, like water, metals can become brittle ...

A recent study in the journal Metals comprehensively investigated the effects of hydrogen and hydrogen-blended natural gas on additively manufactured (AM) 316L stainless steel in oil and gas ...

This diagram depicts how metals with a smoother surface are less prone to the accumulation of hydrogen-induced defects, namely dislocations and vacancy clusters. As the world strives to achieve carbon ...
