Start date 1 July 1991

End date 30 June 1994

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines (ECSC) for the programmes of technical steel research and of steel pilot/demonstration projects, 1991-1995

Total cost € 532 000,00

EU contribution € 264 300,00

Objective

The aim of this project is to apply fracture mechanics concepts to hydrogen impregnated ductile materials, to assess different test methods and to specify design requirements for structural steel in hydrogen-rich atmospheres. The ultimate aim is to allow end users to precisely define steel structures operating in the presence of hydrogen.
