Embrittlement is one of the biggest obstacles facing the transition to a global hydrogen economy. A new process uncovered by researchers at the University of Sydney is helping shed light on how to ...

Hydrogen-grain-boundaries interactions and their role in intergranular fracture are well accepted as one of the key features in understanding hydrogen embrittlement in a large variety of common ...

As the global energy market shifts from coal, petroleum fuel, and natural gas to more environmentally friendly primary energy sources, hydrogen is becoming a crucial pillar in the clean energy ...

The ingress of hydrogen into steels can occur during electrochemical reactions, cathodic protection or high-pressure hydrogen environments. Once inside the microstructure, hydrogen diffuses rapidly ...

Hydrogen, the second-tiniest of all atoms, can penetrate right into the crystal structure of a solid metal. That's good news for efforts to store hydrogen fuel safely within the metal itself, but it's ...

On an assembly line, high-strength screws are precisely tightened using DC drivers. Once installed, each screw holds more than 6,000lb of pre-load. After coming off the assembly line, the assembled ...

During the replacement of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge’s eastern span in 2013, 277 vertical steel rods intended to improve the replacement’s seismic stability were tested under tension using ...

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ordered 16 Airbus A380 planes flown by Emirates and Qantas inspected and ...

Microscopy technique could help researchers design safer reactor vessels or hydrogen storage tanks. Hydrogen, the second-tiniest of all atoms, can penetrate right into the crystal structure of a solid ...
