Hydrogen corrosion laboratory

Royce Hub building | University of Manchester

A laboratory suite dedicated to investigate industrially relevant hydrogen corrosion processes

Description

This suite provide a range of capability to investigate the initiation and propagation of corrosion in hydrogen so includes: hydrogen charging autoclabe, hydrogen permeation and hydrogen embrittlement systems. We have the ability to perform accelerated testing in hydrogen and an elevated temperature electrolysis flow cell.

The suite also includes the analytical technique known as thermal desorption (TD), which provides the ability to measure volatile contaminants such as hydrogen adsorbed into metals. This is a useful technique to study hydrogen embrittlement of metals, a pervasive process of significant technological importance.
