Hydrogen is the lightest and one of the most abundant elements. Hydrogen is emerging as a globally important energy source and energy carrier, but storage and transportation remain challenging.

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 ...

An international group of researchers from Texas A&M University and Lee University studied the development of cracks in samples of Inconel 725, a nickel-base alloy recognized for its strength and ...

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 ...

International researcher team develops scalable aluminium alloys for the hydrogen economy. Aluminium alloys are well-known for their low weight and corrosion resistance, making them ideal candidates ...

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 ...

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, ...
