- Abstract
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) poses the risk of premature failure for many metals, especially high-strength steels. Due to the utilization of hydrogen as an environmentally friendly energy source, efforts are made to improve the resistance to HE at elevated pressures and temperatures. In addition, applications in hydrogen environments might require specific material properties in terms of thermal and electrical conductivity, magnetic properties as well as corrosion resistance. In the present study, three high-strength Cu-base alloys (Alloy 25, PerforMet® and ToughMet® 3) as well as austenitic stainless AISI 321, Ni-base alloy IN 625 and ferritic steel 1.4511 are charged in pressurized hydrogen and subsequently tested by means of Slow Strain Rate Testing (SSRT). The results show that high-strength Cu-base alloys exhibit a great resistance to HE and could prove to be suitable for materials for a variety of hydrogen applications with rough conditions such as high pressure, elevated temperature and corrosive environments.
