Study of the influence of mechanically activated hydrogen diffusivity on the toughness of metallic materials for the storage and transport of hydrogen under pressure and new multi-material solutions.
Goals
Design, guided by a materials selection approach, state-of-the-art experimental techniques and advanced numerical simulations, of new alloys or multi-layers with non-existent hydrogen permeability and low sensitivity to hydrogen embrittlement.
Innovations
- Application of a rational materials selection approach
- Development of a device for characterizing the diffusivity of pressurized hydrogen
- Development of improved solutions for the storage, transport (and use) of pressurized hydrogen
- Establishment of a suitable constitutive model and simulations representative of real-life situations
