Hydrogen Embrittlement Protection Coatings

Hydrogen Embrittlement Protection Coatings

hydrogen innovative materials method development
The project Hydrogen Embrittlement Protection Coating (HEPCO) addresses the critical aspects of hydrogen permeation and embrittlement by developing novel strategies for coating and characterizing hydrogen permeation barrier layers for valves and pumps used for hydrogen storage and transport applications. more
Fracture at interfaces

Fracture at interfaces

microstructure and properties
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent fracture of materials down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as respective phases, grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.

Interfaces in energy materials

Interfaces in energy materials

energy materials microstructure and properties
The full potential of energy materials can only be exploited if the interplay between mechanics and chemistry at the interfaces is well known. This leads to more sustainable and efficient energy solutions. more
Temperature dependent nano- and microplasticity

Temperature dependent nano- and microplasticity

microstructure and properties
The key to the design and construction of advanced materials with tailored mechanical properties is nano- and micro-scale plasticity. Significant influence also exists in shaping the mechanical behavior of materials on small length scales. more
