Investigation of the embrittlement tendency of steels for hydrogen pipelines in pressurised reactors

Hydrogen is considered to be one of the most important energy sources of the future. However, there are many unanswered questions regarding its utilisation. One important issue here is the phenomenon of hydrogen embrittlement, e.g. in pipes or on weld seams. TU Graz is conducting



is conducting long-lasting tests on materials in the presence of hydrogen under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
