Hydrogen (H2) is a rather small molecule and has specific properties, that make that its interaction with materials is different from that of many, if not most, other gasses and liquids.
The fact that hydrogen can cause embrittlement of steel and other metals, and can cause cracks or make cracks grow, is well known in the industry. However, with a growing hydrogen industry, also the applications in which H2 will be used is rapidly growing. And so, many more materials will be exposed to hydrogen and many more processes will see H2 as (part of) their feedstock or (by-)product. The literature with regards to hydrogen and its impact on metal materials is perhaps not as detailed as needed at present, which leads to a strong need in the market for materials scientists with proper understanding and experience with Hydrogen. TÜV AUSTRIA has an extensive network of material experts amongst its various testing and inspection affiliates. Besides those internal resources, we also work closely with reputed universities and research institutes.
