While the goal of establishing an efficient hydrogen economy increases steadily, there is still only limited data related to impact of gaseous H2 on pipe steel. Activities in EWI’s new hydrogen environmental lab are underway to address this issue. Required Soaking Time for Hydrogen Testing, a new paper by Applications Engineer Jesse Rhodes, describes work...

In support of industry-wide investment in carbon neutrality with a key component being a transition to hydrogen as a utility fuel, EWI has developed a unique laboratory capability for testing of material properties under exposure to high-pressure, gaseous H2 environments. Understanding the influence of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen-assisted cracking on the performance of critical infrastructure...

As pressurized hydrogen gas becomes a viable, low-carbon energy option, we must make sure that our national fuel transportation infrastructure is ready to handle it. Material behavior and after-effects of H2 exposure on pipeline materials must be evaluated and understood. EWI Principal Engineer for Structural Integrity, Bill Mohr, has written Effects of Hydrogen Exposure on...
