INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

Hydrogen & Energy

We investigate surfaces and interfaces for transport components and energy equipment. For hydrogen, the potential role of a ceramic barrier must be assessed through permeation, integrity and durability testing.

Why it fits here

Hydrogen is small and finds its way. The question is not whether a ceramic barrier can help, but how much and under what conditions, and only permeation testing answers that.

What changes for you

• Treated internal surface on the existing pipeline steel.
• Resistance to corrosion from the medium without changing the base material.

Potential applications

Internal pipe surfaces; components exposed to demanding media; barrier concepts to investigate.

What needs to be validated

Permeation, defects, adhesion, service cycling and substrate behaviour.
