Protecting fasteners from hydrogen embrittlement

As demand for high performance fasteners grows, zinc flake coating is set to strengthen structural integrity in construction. (Images: Hobson Engineering)Hydrogen embrittlement presents a risk to fasteners in construction, but Hobson Engineering is tackling the challenge with zinc flake coatings. … The post Protecting fasteners from hydrogen embrittlement appeared first on Inside Construction.

Metallurgy Guru - Sustainability Materials Science - Materials for a Hydrogen Economy, 16102020

This lecture gives an overview over the state of the discussion of a future hydrogen economy and reflects on the "state of the art" for the required infrastructure and synthesis components, plus the materials-science required for realizing them. This lecture is only a brief introduction to the topic. (A full lecture series about the role of materials science and metallurgical engineering for a hydrogen economy is given at the Max Planck Institute in Düsseldorf and at RWTH Aachen.)
