Hydrogen Embrittlement in Steels

The Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf is organizing a workshop on hydrogen embrittlement in steels on June, 25th 2012 and would like to invite all interested research colleagues to participate in this event. The workshop is part of a series of topical one-day meetings at the institute. The intention is to bring together leading experts from academia and industry in a workshop format to enable in-depth discussions of fundamental and applied research regarding both current and preliminary research in this area. A broad variety of topics concerning hydrogen embrittlement in steels will be presented; covering topics from modeling of plasticity mechanisms, hydrogen-dislocation interactions, advances in characterization to alloy design and extreme environmental conditions. The event will take place in the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung at Max-Planck-Straße 1, 40237 Düsseldorf, Germany. The program also includes a lab session where new approaches used in characterization, alloy design and modeling will be demonstrated. If you would like to attend this event, then please register online on hesreg.mpie.de till June 20th 2012. We emphasize that registration is mandatory and that there are limited places only. The event is free of charge.
