Alloy selection for components in hydrogen systems | Podcast

The latest 1895 podcast hears from Buddy Damm, Senior Scientist of Metallurgy at Swagelok, who outlines the importance of material science in hydrogen production, focusing on fluid control components and their role in processes like steam methane reforming and electrolysis. Alongside sharing his insights on material selection, he reflects on the challenges of hydrogen embrittlement, and significance of high-quality alloys in ensuring safety and efficiency in hydrogen systems, and highlights the versatility of Swagelok’s 316 stainless steel, using for 3/16-inch tubing. “I like to think of material science as a mix up of chemical engineering, solid state physics and mechanics: how products respond to stresses is really a blend of disciplines,” he says. Fluid control components are elements such as valves, regulators and fittings which are connected to the main production processes. … to continue… Read More »Alloy selection for components in hydrogen systems | Podcast

UK and others move on floating hydrogen power hubs | Hydrogen

Clean infrastructure provider Elire Infra has secured £1m funding under the UK’s Clean Maritime Demonstration competition to study the feasibility of hydrogen floating power hubs. Off-grid power hubs could in theory cut emissions from port operations and accelerate the UK’s transition to Net Zero. Workstreams include the development of a low-pressure nanoporous hydrogen storage module (Rux Energy); integration of the hydrogen balance of plant and power conversion systems (Ricardo); design of complex AC/DC electrical architectures with renewable integration (Schneider Electric, University of Strathclyde); platform naval architecture and hydrodynamic testing (University of Strathclyde, Elire); anchoring and mooring (Triton Anchor Europe); and transportation, installation and operational strategy (Sealand Projects). The feasibility period will run from 13 September to 31 March 2026. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing… Read More »UK and others move on floating hydrogen power hubs | Hydrogen
