Liquid metal embrittlement occurs because of the impact of the molten metal (zinc in the case of galvanizing) on vulnerable steels. Stainless steel experiences the most common liquid metal ...

Hydrogen is the lightest and one of the most abundant elements. Hydrogen is emerging as a globally important energy source and energy carrier, but storage and transportation remain challenging.

When deciding what material to use for infrastructure projects, metals are often selected for their durability. However, if placed in a hydrogen-rich environment, like water, metals can become brittle ...

International researcher team develops scalable aluminium alloys for the hydrogen economy. Aluminium alloys are well-known for their low weight and corrosion resistance, making them ideal candidates ...

Of all the daunting tasks Joe Biden faces, especially vital is the inspection of dangerously embrittled atomic reactors still operating in the United States. A meltdown at any one of them would ...

COVERT TOWNSHIP, MI — Palisades is one of the oldest nuclear power plants in the country and it is also one of the most "embrittled," putting it at risk of cracking. However, company and government ...

Due to its low density, high strength, and abundance, aluminium and its alloys are widely used for example in constructions, consumer electronics and for vehicles including cars, ships, trains and ...

Fastener manufacturers routinely apply a protective finish to bolts and screws that prevents rust and corrosion. However, there is some concern that plating processes can contribute to hydrogen ...

Aluminium alloys are well-known for their low weight and corrosion resistance, making them ideal candidates for applications in a low-carbon economy - from lightweight automobiles to tanks for storing ...
