Hydrogen fuel cell technology requires high-integrity fluid system components suitable to specific working pressures, corrosion resistance, endurance, and leakage. Learn how to properly select materials to combat against embrittlement and more in your applications that frequently utilize hydrogen. Also, learn about Swagelok hydrogen-compatible products that are certified to HV35 and HV70, and recommended maintenance to keep your fluid systems running as intended.
In this 30 minute (plus Q and A) tech talk, Dr. Robert (Bob) Bianco will discuss:
Hydrogen Embrittlement
Alloy Selection for Hydrogen Service
Interactions of hydrogen and metal
Metals and alloys used by Swagelok
Materials Qualification and Standards
