T1 - Acquiring a Machine Learning Data Set for Structural Health Monitoring of Hydrogen Pressure Vessels at Operating Conditions using Guided Ultrasonic Waves N2 - Hydrogen is an energy source of increasing importance. As hydrogen is very reactive to air and needs to be stored under high pressure, it is crucial to provide safe transportation and storage. Therefore, structural health monitoring, based on guided ultrasonic waves and machine learning methods, is used for Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) containing hydrogen. To acquire data that allows robust detection of COPV defects, there are two main process parameters to consider. These are the pressurization of the vessel and the temperature conditions at the vessel. This paper will focus on the derivation of a design of experiment (DoE) from the needs of various validation scenarios (e.g. concerning pressure, temperature or excitation frequency). Practical limitations must be considered as well. We designed experiments with multiple reversible damages at different positions. A network of 25 transducers, structured as five rings with five sensors in one line, is installed on a vessel. Guided ultrasonic waves are used via the pitch-catch procedure, which means that the transducers act pairwise as transmitter and receiver in order to measure all transmitterreceiver combinations. This leads to 600 signal paths, recorded by a Verasonics Vantage 64 LF data acquisition system. Finally, the influences of temperature and pressure within the acquired data set are going to be visualized.

Es bestehen signifikante Unterschiede in der Zündwahrscheinlichkeit durch mechanisch erzeugte Schlagvorgänge zwischen den ver¬schiedenen Metallen bzw. Stählen und insbesondere zwischen den einzelnen Brenngas/Luft-Gemischen. Mechanisch erzeugte Schlagfunken stellen in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen eine potentielle Zündquelle dar, oft in Verbindung mit der Zündquelle „heiße Oberflächen“. Eine Vielzahl von mechanischen und reaktionskinetischen Einflüssen verursacht dabei eine komplexe Interaktion von Parametern, von deren Auswirkung auf die Zündwahrscheinlichkeit bislang wenig bekannt ist. Die statistisch erfassten Eigenschaften von Schlagfunken in verschiedenen Untersuchung der BAM lassen auf stochastische Prozesse schließen, bei denen die Anzahl der durch einen Schlagprozess abgetrennten Partikel und deren Oxidationsverhalten sowie die Höhe der kinetischen Schlagenergie entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Zündwahrscheinlichkeit hat /L4/; /L5/. Werkzeuge sind keine Geräte oder Schutzsysteme im Sinne der Richtlinie 2014/34/EU /L1/. Deshalb ist es nicht möglich, Werkzeuge in Übereinstimmung mit dieser Richtlinie zu zertifizieren. Trotzdem müssen die Materialien für solche Werkzeuge bestimmte Mindestanforderungen gemäß TRGS 723 /L2/ erfüllen. Die TRGS 723 Abschnitt 5.15 fordert den Nachweis der Funkenfreiheit der verwendeten Werkstoffpaarung bei Verwendung in explosionsgefährdeten Berei¬chen. Der Nachweis der Erfül¬lung dieser Anforderungen ist durch Zertifizierungen im sogenannten „gesetzlich nicht geregelten“ Bereich möglich. Die BAM bietet diese Zertifizierung im Rahmen ihres Zertifizierungsprogrammes 2.8 „Funkenarme Werkzeuge“ an /L3/. Bei der Gefährdungsbeurteilung für den Gebrauch von Werkzeugen im explosionsgefährdeten Bereich müssen mechanisch erzeugte Funken oder heiße Reibflächen, die bei mechanischen Schlagvorgängen durch den Einsatz von Werkzeugen oder Geräten bzw. Maschinen entstehen können, müssen als Zündquelle gesondert betrachtet werden. Üblicherweise wird die Mindestzündenergie bzw. die Explosionsgruppe auch für die Beurteilung der Zündwirksamkeit von mechanischen Schlägen für Brenngase herangezogen [6]. Während Schlagvorgänge als Zündquelle für explosionsfähige Atmosphären der Explosionsgruppe IIA in vielen Fällen weniger relevant sind, werden sie besonders bei Vorhandensein einer explosionsfähigen Atmosphäre der Explosionsgruppe IIC als sehr wirksame Zündquelle angesehen, die berücksichtigt werden muss. Entsprechend wird in der TRGS 723 [6] sowie der DIN EN ISO 80079-36 [21] als Schutzmaßnahme z.B. die Verwendung von funkenarmen Werkzeugen aus nicht gehärtetem schwer oxidierbarem Nicht-Eisen-Metall genannt, wobei die mögliche kinetische Schlagenergie unter 60 J bleiben und die Funkenfreiheit für die jeweils vorliegende mögliche Werkstoffpaarung (Werkstück, Stützen, Boden usw.) nachgewiesen sein muss. Manche Hersteller von Werkzeugen, die für den Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen vorgesehen sind, nennen ihre Werkzeuge „funkenfrei“. Die Bezeichnung wird missverständlicher Weise abgeleitet aus dem englischen „non sparking tools“. Die Bezeichnung funkenarme Werkzeuge, „low sparking tools“, trifft eher zu, denn es gibt tatsächlich keine funkenfreien, metallischen Werkzeuge. Denn es ist immer eine Frage mit welcher kinetischen Energie und gegen welchen weiteren potentiellen Schlagpartner/Werkstoff die funkenarmen Werkzeuge geschlagen werden. Üblicherweise werden Werkzeuge für den industriellen Einsatz aus hochlegierten Chromstählen hergestellt. Mit steigender kinetischer Schlagenergie und sinken¬der Zündenergie der Brenngas-Luft-Atmosphäre im explosionsgefährdeten Be¬reich, steigt die Zündwahrscheinlichkeit im Falle von Schlag- oder Reibbeanspru¬chung deutlich. Funkenarme Werkzeuge für den Einsatz in explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen wer¬den überwiegend aus speziellen Nichteisen-Metalllegierungen (NE-Metall) her¬stellt. Die beiden großen Werkstoffsorten zur Herstellung von funkenarmen Werkzeugen sind Aluminium-Bronze und Kupfer-Aluminium. Für diese beiden Werkstoffe und deren mögliche Schlagpartner gibt es bisher nur wenige umfassenden Untersuchungen mit Aussagen zur Zündwahrscheinlichkeit. T2 - 18.

Moreover, it is believed to be an issue in electrical-power generation turbines and aero-engines. If these flow inhomogeneities are essentially characterized by the fluid having a locally appreciablydifferent thermodynamic state, the acoustic response engendered by its interaction with the combustion-chamber exit is commonly referred to as entropy noise. In this paper, dedicated numerical-simulation results of entropy-patch choked-nozzle interactions are presented. Two types of entropy patches were considered: rectangular slugs and circular spots. Moreover, analytical-model-based analysis, of said simulation results, is presented. Based on said analysis, the authors posit the existence of three modeling regimes: the quasi-steady-modeling regime, the blended-physical-effects regime, and the inertial-modeling regime.

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used with a motorized torch allowing for automated weldments. The austenitization in the heat affected zone (HAZ) could be clearly visualized at λ = 0.39 nm, a wavelength smaller than the Bragg edge wavelengths of both austenite and martensite. The re-transformation into the martensitic phase during cooling was clearly detected. However, we observed an unexpected additional change in transmission at λ = 0.44 nm, a wavelength larger than the wavelength of the Bragg edges of both the martensitic and austenitic phases. We attribute this change to the Deybe-Waller-Factor that describes the temperature dependence of coherent scattering at a crystal lattice. The observed two-dimensional attenuation map corresponds well with a temperature distribution modelling by software macros in ANSYS [3]. Here, the absolute temperature values could be achieved by calibrating the modelled attenuation with help of a thermocouple placed at the steel plate. This allows in return for a direct two-dimensional temperature reading based on the Debye-Waller-relation between neutron attenuation and sample temperature.

Therefore, it has found extensive applications in structural health monitoring. Its appeal for monitoring underground facilities lies in the intrinsic properties of the optical fiber, such as immunity to magnetic interference, small size, chemical inertia, etc. This paper provides a concise overview of DFOS applications in underground facility monitoring. Following a brief introduction to the workingbnprinciple of the DFOS technique, various examples are provided to demonstrate how distributed fiber sensors contribute to monitoring underground facilities. The paper presents unpublished field test results with an emphasis in the energy sector, including monitoring gas storage facilities, geothermal reservoir exploration, and ground movement detection. Furthermore, the paper identifies several directions for enhancing the DFOS system.

Composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) used for storing hydrogen gases at very high pressures are an example of a critical infrastructure that could benefit significantly from SHM. This can be used to increase the periodic inspection intervals, ensure safe operating conditions by early detection of anomalies, and ultimately estimate the remaining lifetime of COPVs. Therefore, in the digital quality infrastructure initiative (QI-Digital) in Germany, an SHM system is being developed for COPVs used in a hydrogen refueling station. In this study, the results of a lifetime fatigue test on a Type IV COPV subjected to many thousands of load cycles under different temperatures and pressures are presented to demonstrate the strengths and challenges associated with such an SHM system. During the cyclic testing up to the final material failure of the COPV, a sensor network of fifteen surface-mounted piezoelectric (PZT) wafers was used to collect the UGW data. However, the pressure variations, the aging process of the COPV, the environmental parameters, and possible damages simultaneously have an impact on the recorded signals. This issue and the lack of labeled data make signal processing and analysis even more demanding. Thus, in this study, semi-supervised, and unsupervised deep learning approaches are utilized to separate the influence of different variables on the UGW data with the final aim of detecting and localizing the damage before critical failure.

Ensuring their sustainable and safe use in hydrogen technologies is a crucial factor in the development of the hydrogen economy. This is particularly important since hydrogen can promote crack formation and ultimately lead to premature failure in these materials when combined with mechanical load. This process is commonly known as Hydrogen Embrittlement and can occur in a large number of steels used for the hydrogen technologies.[1] Extensive materials qualification is required for the rapid implementation of hydrogen technologies, however, most accepted, and standardised test methods for determining the effect of gaseous hydrogen on metallic materials describe complex and costly procedures (e.g. in-situ autoclave technique) that are only available to a very limited extent worldwide. The hollow specimen technique is a simple and economical method that has the potential to overcome the limitations of the current methods and complement them for qualifying metallic materials under high-pressure hydrogen gas. Unlike the conventional autoclave technique, this method requires significantly lower amounts of hydrogen, resulting in fewer safety measures and no need for complex equipment or a specialised laboratory. The technique's low investment and testing costs, simple operation, and shorter testing time make it an optimal for widespread use around the world, thereby increasing the output of results. Initial studies have demonstrated the feasibility of assessing hydrogen effects in metallic materials using the hollow specimen technique. This led to the establishment of an ISO committee to standardise the method, however, there are open questions that currently prevent the technique from being standardised for hydrogen testing. These open questions relate to specimen geometry, inner hole surface and gas quality and are being addressed in the TransHyDE - H2HohlZug project. The aim of the project is to systematically address and close the gaps towards the standardisation of this technique for tests in hydrogen. The project is divided into four work packages. First, the elastic-plastic behaviour of a hollow tensile specimen is compared with that of a conventional solid tensile specimen of identical external dimensions using finite element methods (3D-FEM) and subsequently validated by experimental results. In the second, the influence of the inner hole surface quality of the specimen on the hydrogen effects is evaluated. Five different methods of producing the inner axial hole were chosen to ensure different average roughness values and residual stresses (drilling vs. EDM), and also to ensure a good representation of the more common and easily accessible processes (drilling and reaming) to the more complex ones (EDM and honing). Next, the influence of gas purity (different compositions) and purging process (different routines) is evaluated. Finally, an optimal specimen geometry, inner hole production process, gas quality and purging process are proposed from each working package and its reproducibility and repeatability is evaluated in a round robin with national and international partners. This contribution presents the structure and milestones of the project, followed by initial results regarding the influence of different manufacturing and finishing processes on the inner hole surface of the hollow specimen and its response to hydrogen effects.

In the wake of the ongoing transition of the road-vehicle sector, fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) have received increased political attention. However, they constitute only a tiny fraction of total road vehicles nowadays and still face competition from other powertrain technologies. Therefore, this study specifically focuses on how the focal technological innovation system of FCVs is influenced by the emerging electric vehicles (EVs) and established internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) as its context structures. To this end, our time-series vector error correction models analyze the short- and long-run causalities between our focal TIS and its context structures. Using publications, patents, and standards as quantitative TIS indicators, we analyze the modes of technology interaction between FCVs and EVs and FCVs and ICEVs to determine the life-cycle phase of our focal FCV-TIS in more depth. Our results demonstrate that the FCV-TIS is in its formative phase based on the dominance of the EV and ICEV context structures. As policy implications, we derive application-sensitive technology policies that combine the benefits of each mobility technology toward the sustainable transition of the mobility sector.

Due to the rapid development of the hydrogen economy, the fire due to the hydrogen leakage could not be avoided and may bring great damage to the passengers and infrastructure. Due to the large difference between pool fires of traditional fossil-fueled and jet fires of hydrogen-powered vehicles, it is in doubt whether the existing longitudinal ventilation design could still be effective for the safety issue of hydrogen powered vehicles. To solve this problem, it is necessary to compare temperature characteristics of hydrogen-powered and traditional vehicle fires with and without longitudinal ventilations. In present work, we conducted a numerical investigation to discuss the different temperature distributions of traditional and hydrogen-fueled vehicle fires. Results indicate that the high temperature zone of the pool fire only exists above the ceiling of the vehicle. For hydrogen-powered vehicle fire, the high-speed hydrogen jet with the strong inertial force could push the hot smoke flows back to the ground. The ceiling temperature of hydrogen-powered vehicle fire is larger since hydrogen-powered vehicle has a larger heat release rate and the fire hazard of jet fires bring more danger compared with the pool fire. Although the temperature stratification is also obvious for the hydrogen-powered vehicle fire, the air temperature in the lower region could be heated and still high enough to bring a great damage to the passengers’ lives. This is quite different with the traditional pool fire. In addition, the critical ventilation velocity is also discussed. The theoretical equation could well predict the critical ventilation velocity of traditional vehicle fires. For hydrogen-powered vehicle fires, the critical ventilation velocity could reach up to 6 m/s. The theoretical equation could not well predict the critical ventilation velocity of hydrogen-powered vehicle fires due to exist of hydrogen jet fires.

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier and fuel that can be used in many applications. We explore the global hydrogen technological innovation system (TIS) by analyzing the three knowledge and technology transfer channels of publications, patents, and standards. Since the adoption of hydrogen technologies requires trust in their safety,this study specifically also focuses on hydrogen safety. Our results show that general and hydrogen safety research has increased significantly while patenting experienced stagnation. An analysis of the non-patent literature in safety patents shows little recognition of scientific publications. Similarly, publications are underrepresented in the analyzed 75 international hydrogen and fuel cell standards. This limited transfer of knowledge from published research to standards points to the necessity for greater involvement of researchers in standardization. We further derive implications for the hydrogen TIS and recommendations for a better and more impactful alignment of the three transfer channels.

Numerous governments worldwide are adopting policies and strategies to facilitate the transition towards hydrogen-based economies. To assess the determinants of such transition, this study presents a comparative analysis of the technological innovation systems (TISs) for hydrogen technologies in Germany and South Korea, both recognized as global frontrunners in advancing and implementing hydrogen-based solutions. By providing a multidimensional assessment of pathways to the hydrogen economy, our analysis introduces two novel and crucial elements to the TIS analysis: (i) We integrate the concept of ‘quality infrastructure’ given the relevance of safety and quality assurance for technology adoption and social acceptance, and (ii) we emphasize the social perspective within the hydrogen TIS. To this end, we conducted 24 semi-structured expert interviews, applying qualitative open coding to analyze the data. Our results indicate that the hydrogen TISs in both countries have undergone significant developments across various dimensions. However, several barriers still hinder the further realization of a hydrogen economy. Based on our findings, we propose policy implications that can facilitate informed policy decisions for a successful hydrogen transition.

N2 - The digital Quality Infrastructure (QI) initiative “QI-Digital” in Germany is focusing on implementing new technologies and approaches to ensure that the task of quality assurance is more efficient and ready for the digital and green transformation of the economy. The implementation of quality control key elements, such as Smart Standards, Digital Certificates and QI-cloud solutions shall contribute to solving the socio-economic, ecological, and technological challenges of our time. Hydrogen is a key energy carrier and has the potential to play a significant role in the energy transition, especially in mobility. An essential factor for the broad acceptance of hydrogen-based mobility is the availability of refueling stations that operate reliably and safely. Using the example of a Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) built within the QI-Digital initiative, the Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM) aims to establish a real laboratory where modern measurement techniques and new digital methods are implemented to enhance operational safety, availability, and economic efficiency and render the technology more attractive for the industry. In this work, we present an approach to establish a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system on a high-pressure buffer inside HRS and show how it could be embedded into a digital QI. The high-pressure buffers are essential components of the plant which are currently inspected periodically without regard to their operating history. Focusing on the transition to a continuous and digitally supported monitoring of the component’s integrity during operation the novel inspection scheme will be linked to a completely digitalized component-related documentation and tested using digital certificates. This allows the operational safety and, if necessary, the remaining useful lifetime to be assessed on an ongoing basis and to be a valuable contribution to increasing sustainability.

Machine learning has also contributed to enhanced spatial resolution in Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) systems and shorter measurement times in Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis (BOFDA) systems. This paper provides an overview of the applied machine learning methodologies in Brillouin DFOSs, as well as future perspectives in this area.

N2 - The digital Quality Infrastructure (QI) initiative “QI-Digital” in Germany is focusing on implementing new technologies and approaches to ensure that the task of quality assurance is more efficient and ready for the digital and green transformation of the economy. The implementation of quality control key elements, such as Smart Standards, Digital Certificates and QI-cloud solutions shall contribute to solving the socio-economic, ecological, and technological challenges of our time. Hydrogen is a key energy carrier and has the potential to play a significant role in the energy transition, especially in mobility. An essential factor for the broad acceptance of hydrogen-based mobility is the availability of refueling stations that operate reliably and safely. Using the example of a Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) built within the QI-Digital initiative, the Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM) aims to establish a real laboratory where modern measurement techniques and new digital methods are implemented to enhance operational safety, availability, and economic efficiency and render the technology more attractive for the industry. In this work, we present an approach to establish a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system on a high-pressure buffer inside HRS and show how it could be embedded into a digital QI. The high-pressure buffers are essential components of the plant which are currently inspected periodically without regard to their operating history. Focusing on the transition to a continuous and digitally supported monitoring of the component’s integrity during operation the novel inspection scheme will be linked to a completely digitalized component-related documentation and tested using digital certificates. This allows the operational safety and, if necessary, the remaining useful lifetime to be assessed on an ongoing basis and to be a valuable contribution to increasing sustainability.

Green hydrogen plays a central role in this shift but remains costly, particularly through the utilization of PEM electrolysis. Currently, around 50% of the costs associated with electrolyser systems are attributed to system peripherals, underscoring the potential for cost savings through standardization and the use of cost-effective materials [Tja17, IRE20]. In the collaborative project "PolyH2Pipe", the Institute of Plastics Processing in Industry and Craft (IKV), the Welding and Joining Institute (ISF) and BAM Division 5.3 are developing media-carrying pipe systems made of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (TP-FR) for hydrogen applications. The project aims to design these pipes, develop suitable joining techniques and validate the requirements for these piping systems. This research initiative serves as a foundational basis for the subsequent market introduction of large-scale TP-FR pipe systems for electrolysers and fuel cell systems. Initial test results will be presented as a part of the talk during the colloquium.

The availability of hydrogen (H₂) as a flexible energy source in sufficient quantities is currently a central challenge. At present, hydrogen is mainly produced from fossil fuels such as natural gas, while water electrolysis only contributes 4% of total production. Less than 0.1 % of global production comes from renewable energy sources [IRE20, NN17]. Compared to the production of grey hydrogen, the production of green hydrogen with PEM electrolysers is still associated with high costs. Reducing the procurement and production costs of PEM electrolysers is therefore a key factor in realising the goals of the EU's hydrogen strategy. Around 50 % of the system costs are attributable to the system peripherals, meaning that savings can be achieved through the standardisation of system components and the use of more cost-efficient materials [Tja17, IRE20]. Currently, cost-intensive steel materials are used to guide media systems and cooling circuits in the plant periphery. Substitution by polymer materials offers a high cost-saving potential due to automated production processes and simple joining techniques. In the collaborative project ‘PolyH2Pipe’, which is being carried out by the Institute of Plastics Processing in Industry and Craft (IKV), the Welding and Joining Institute (ISF) and BAM-5.3, continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic (TP-FR) pipe systems are being designed, joining techniques developed and the requirements for the media piping validated. The objective of the research project is to conduct preparatory measures to initiate market launch activities for large-scale production of TP-FR media pipes for H2 electrolyser and fuel cell systems. In the context of the poster presentation, the overarching project and the BAM sub-project will be presented with initial test results. T2 - 29.

Therefore, two different architectures are compared: one using convolutions and transfer learning based on the EfficientNetB7 and a Vision Transformer-like approach. To accomplish this, simulated and measured dispersion images are generated, where the first is applied to design, train, and validate and the second to test the neural networks. During the training of the neural networks, distinct data augmentation layers are employed to introduce artifacts appearing in measurement data into the simulated data. The neural networks can extrapolate from simulated to measured data using these layers. The trained neural networks are assessed using dispersion images from seven known material samples. Multiple variations of the measured dispersion images are tested to guarantee the prediction stability. The study demonstrates that neural networks can learn to predict the isotropic elastic constants from measured dispersion images using only simulated dispersion images for training and validation without needing an initial guess or manual feature extraction, independent of the measurement setup. Furthermore, the suitability of the different architectures for generating information from dispersion images in general is discussed.

Particularly important is the decarbonization of heavy industry. Therefore, a reliable supply of hydrogen must be guaranteed. A hydrogen pipeline grid can achieve this purpose. In Europe concrete plans for a hydrogen pipeline grid already exist, as the so called “European Hydrogen backbone”. As building a completely new pipeline grid is economically not justifiable, a dual-way strategy of repurposing natural gas (NG) pipelines and newly built pipelines is intended. Long distance pipeline grids require regular maintenance and repairs. For natural gas (NG) pipelines in-service welding is state of the art. Concepts such as hot-tapping (drilling into pressurized pipelines) and “stoppling” (sealing off pipeline sections after installing bypasses or pressure relieves) allow the repair of damaged pipeline sections or the installation of new branches without shutting the pipeline down, which in most cases isn’t possible from an economic standpoint. The EIGA 121/14 guideline already pointed out in 2014 that “a hydrogen hot-tap shall not be considered a routine procedure”. This shows that the determination of the transferability of these repair concepts to hydrogen pipelines is of utmost importance. Due to the degrading effects of hydrogen on mechanical proper-ties, commonly referred to as “hydrogen embrittlement” it is necessary to understand and investigate the occurring effects. In the special case of repair welding on in-service hydrogen pipelines an increased hydro-gen uptake due to a large heat input and microstructural changes in the material needs to be considered. Therefore, material degradation must be investigated to determine whether modifications of repair procedures are necessary to ensure a reliable and safe hydrogen transportation via pipelines. For this reason, this paper gives an overview on existing weld repair concepts and its risks and limitations in terms of hydrogen absorption and possible embrittlement effects when transferred to hydrogen pipelines. The complexity lies in a large variety of materials (low alloyed steels), pipeline diameters and corresponding welded joints. The material compatibility of materials in used (repurposed NG-pipelines) and new condition must be investigated. Particularly for repurposed/used pipelines the effect of a pre-matured/corroded inner surface and sometimes insufficient documentation of the material “history” needs to be considered. An overview on ongoing and completed R&D-projects with respect to repair concepts for hydrogen pipelines and hydrogen effects on pipeline materials is given. The focus hereby lies on possible methods of material testing and modeling. Its current difficulties, limits and possible solution will be discussed. T2 - IIW Intermediate Meeting, Com.

The large plate thickness requires high efficiency welding processes like submerged arc welding (SAW) and a mandatory post weld heat treatment (PWHT). The PWHT-parameters stem from a combination of empirical knowledge and traditional experiments on free shrinking (FS) welds. In that connection, the formation of so-called stress-relief cracking (SRC) must be anticipated. The SRC susceptibility of a welded component is a complex combination and interaction of com-ponent specific, thermal, and metallurgical factors. Many of which have to date not been conclusively researched. For example, it is well known that SRCs develop during PWHT due to formation and growth of carbides on prior austenite grain boundaries, resulting in a significant hardness increase (secondary hardening) and toughness decrease. This leads to a high SRC susceptibility of the coarse grain heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of the last weld bead during PWHT. This is intensified in case of high residual stresses from the component-specific, structurally induced stiffness. In combination with multi-layer welding this leads to a multiaxial stress distribution. Nonetheless, the combined effect of PWHT and high-residual stresses on the SRC formation is merely unknown. For that reason, this study presents the effect of different heating rates in conjunction with a certain component stiffness. For that reason, SAW joints of 13CrMoV9-10 steel were investigated under FS and defined external restraint condition. T2 - IIW Intermediate Meeting, Com.

In that connection, offshore and on-shore installed wind turbines are of high interest for the generation of electrical energy as well as photo-voltaic systems (solar cells). The electricity can be either directly transported or conversed via power-to-gas e.g., to hydrogen. In that scope, electrolyzer up to MW-range are of interest as well as the conver-sion back to electricity via fuel cells. In addition, hydrogen is a key element of the decarburization of in-dustries as well as the mobility sector encompassing sea, air and land transportation driven by hydrogen or its derivates. Well-known examples cover the direct reduction of iron ore to replace the conventional blast furnace process up to gas turbines or fuel cells for home-end use. All mentioned technologies re-quire reliable components, which are to a high extend dependent on joining and especially welding pro-cessing of materials. Especially, the (petro-) chemical industry has many years of experience with both materials used in hydrogen applications. The challenge is e.g., the transition to mass production of sys-tem components of electrolyzers/fuel cells and for distribution grids. At this point, the scalability of cur-rently applied joining processes often limits the economic efficiency, whereas especially laser welding or additive manufacturing will be of high interest. In that connection, it is very important to provide answers by joint research of universities, institutes, and industrial companies. Very often, solutions are already available and “just” have to be investigated and adapted for the new application, like repair welding of NG pipelines. For that reason, we want to set up a series of comprehensive papers with the aforementioned title. The idea is to get an in-depth but manageable overview of the importance of joining technologies in sustaina-ble energy generation, conversion, and transport encompassing current processes, limitations, and fur-ther perspectives. In that connection, the additive manufacturing is gaining more and more attention. If applicable, current challenges in the adaption or creation of new standards/regulations shall be addressed.

The majority of materials used to date are typically welded for component fabrication. In that context, steels are widely applied and can be prone to hydrogen embrittlement. This includes the classical delayed cold cracking during welding processing as well as embrittlement phenomena during operation. For the evaluation of any hydrogen effect on, for example, the mechanical properties of a welded metallic material, the hydrogen content must be precisely determined. In the case of welds, for example, according to ISO 3690, this is the isothermal carrier gas hot extraction (CGHE). CGHE is based on accelerated hydrogen degassing due to thermal activation of hydrogen at elevated temperatures. In addition to the pure quantification of hydrogen, thermal desorption analysis (TDA) with varied heating rates can be used to determine and evaluate the bonding state at microstructural defects in the material. For both techniques, experimental and measurement influences have to be considered, which have a great effect on the result. For CGHE, for example, ISO 3690 suggests different sample geometries as well as minimum extraction times. The present study summarizes results and experiences of numerous investigations with different sample temperatures and geometries (ISO 3690 type B and cylindrical TDA samples) regarding: the influence of the sample surface (polished/welded), measurement accuracies depending on the sample volume as well as the insufficient monitoring of the effect of the PI controller on the extraction temperature. In particular, a deviating extraction temperature to the set temperature, can significantly falsify the measurement results. Based on the results, methods are shown to quickly reach the desired extraction temperature without having to physically interfere with the measurement equipment. This serves to substantially improve the reliability of hydrogen measurement through increased signal stability and accelerated hydrogen desorption. In general, an independent temperature measurement with dummy samples for the selected heating procedure is advisable to exclude possible unwanted temperature influences already before the measurement. In addition (and way more important), the methods described can be transferred directly to industrial applications.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) would offer a time and spatially resolved, almost non-destructive, measurement of hydrogen at surfaces. We could already show that this analysis technique allows for highly accurate in situ measurements of chemical compositions of e.g. Mn, Cr and Ni during welding e.g. in the melt pool, the weld metal or the heat affected zone. For quantitative LIBS measurements of hydrogen in steel, certified reference materials with different hydrogen concentrations were used for calibration. There is a significant problem in welding steels: A critical combination of diffusible hydrogen, hardness microstructure and weld residual stresses can cause cold cracks to form in the weld microstructure. We investigated hydrogen in steels, which was loaded either electrochemically or with high-pressure hydrogen gas. Subsequently, various experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of hydrogen measurements with LIBS. For example, depth profiles of hydrogen distribution could be obtained. Furthermore, samples were water jet cut and a line scan was made over the cross section to obtain a spatially resolved representation of the hydrogen. Total hydrogen concentrations were determined using carrier gas hot extraction. Our results show that LIBS is a promising technique for time and spatially resolved measurement of hydrogen in steels.

Under current regulations, a mostly conservative strategy is employed, restricting the usage time of hydrogen pressure vessels without providing information on the real remaining lifetime. During the service life, pressure vessels are inspected periodically. However, no established method that can provide continuous monitoring or information on the remaining safe service life of the vessel. In this paper, we propose a sensor network for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of hydrogen pressure vessels where data from all sensors are collected and centrally evaluated. Specifically, we integrate three different SHM sensing technologies namely Guided Wave ultrasonics (GW), Acoustic Emission testing (AT), and distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (FOS). This integrated approach offers significantly more information and could therefore enable a transition from costly and time-consuming periodic inspections to more efficient and modern predictive maintenance strategies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based evaluation. This does not only have a positive effect on the operational costs but enhances safety through early identification of critical conditions in the overall system in real-time. We demonstrate an experimental set-up of a lifetime test where a Type IV Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV) is investigated under cyclic loading instrumented with AT, FOS, and GW methods. We acquired data from the sensor network until the pressure vessel failed due to material degradation. The data collected using the three different SHM sensor technologies is planned to be evaluated individually, using data fusion, and AI. In the future, we aim to integrate the measurement setup into a hydrogen refueling station with the data stream implemented into a digital signal processing chain and a digital twin.

Our approach represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first application of distributed fiber optic sensing for COPV Type IV monitoring, where the sensing fibers are attached to the surface, rather than integrated into the composite material. Specifically, we attach an optical fiber of 50 m to the pressure vessel's surface, covering both the cylindrical and dome sections. We note that our fiber optic sensing technique relies on swept wavelength interferometry providing strain information along the entire length of the optical fiber with high spatial resolution even at the millimeter scale. When the vessel is pressurized, the sensing optical fiber shows a linear strain response to pressure at every position along the fiber. After thousands of load cycles, the vessel finally fails with the optical fiber detecting and precisely localizing the damage in the vessel’s blind dome area. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of state-of-the-art signal processing methods and machine learning for advancing predictive maintenance. This could reduce the number of regular inspections, mitigate premature maintenance costs, and simultaneously increase the vessel’s remaining safe service life. We believe that the structural health monitoring of hydrogen pressure vessels with fiber optic sensors can enhance trust in hydrogen technology contributing to the energy transition in the future.

The paper deals with the condition monitoring of such composite pressure vessels (CPVs) using the optical backscatter reflectometry (OBR) applied for a distributed fiber optic strain sensing along fully integrated polyimide-coated single-mode glass optical fiber (SM-GOF). The sensing fibers were embedded into the vessel structure by wrapping them over the polymer liner during the manufacturing process of the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Detecting local strain events by the integrated fiber optic sensors can be an opportunity for monitoring the material degradation of CPVs under static and cyclic loading.

While the engineering safety factors of the pressure vessels are kept high, the periodic inspection and the limited lifetime are making the application very costly considering manpower, time, money, and material waste. The development of an integrated structural health monitoring system can allow an easy transition from the current situation to cost-effective predictive maintenance. Hence, we propose to integrate three different SHM systems into hydrogen pressure vessels, namely guided wave ultrasonics, acoustic emission, and fibre optic sensing, to continuously monitor the condition and integrity. In this work, we evaluated the condition of a Type IV composite overwrapped pressure vessel using ultrasonic guided wave propagation. We mounted fifteen piezo-electric wafers on the composite cylinder by shaping three rings containing five sensors each. We acquired data from the sensor network following different boundary conditions with artificial damages on the selected locations. The data were evaluated with guided wave tomography techniques using ultrasonic features (amplitude, frequency, etc.) as well as artificial intelligence (AI). The results suggest that both traditional guided wave fusion techniques and AI-based characterization methods can detect artificial damages. In future work, it is planned to integrate acoustic emission and fibre optic sensing. Moreover, the measurement and the test results will be implemented into a digital twin to derive trends and make predictions on the damage propagation as well as the remaining useful lifetime.

The use of glass would drastically increase the H2 barrier effect. This could be achieved with glass liners or fiber-reinforced polymer-bonded glass capillary storage tanks and would enable lower wall thicknesses, higher gravimetric storage densities and variable designs and thus a much more effective use of space. However, the decisive material parameters for the development of these technologies, such as the hydrogen permeation, are unknown. This study focuses on H2 diffusion in glasses of different chemical compositions. H2 permeation is measured by mass spectrometry. For this purpose, the mass spectrometer (MS), which is located in a high vacuum, is separated from the pressure side by the test specimen. Pure H2 gas is present on the pressure side, so that the mass flow is recorded qualitatively and quantitatively in the MS. The permeation coefficients are calculated from the sample geometry and the mass flow rates. The very low H2 permeation of glass is measured on bundles of thin-walled commercially available glass capillaries and compared with the hydrogen permeation data of the glass powder method.

Underground hydrogen storage facilities are of great importance for the hydrogen network, as they can store and regulate large quantities of gas. Due to the high explosion risk associated with hydrogen, these facilities need to be closely monitored to avoid any hazardous consequences, such as leaks or explosions. However, it is extremely challenging to perform a comprehensive, seamless and continuous monitoring of the facilities in practice. Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) are well-suited to address these challenges. The DFG project MUDFOS aims to develop a hybrid DFOS system capable of simultaneously and accurately measuring five key parameters (hydrogen concentration, temperature, strain, humidity, and vibration) that are critical for hydrogen infrastructure over long sensing distances based on Raman-, Rayleigh- and Brillouin-scattering effects.

Für den notwendigen Transport des Wasserstoffs in großem Maßstab und über weite Entfernungen ist eine zuverlässige Pipeline-Infrastruktur erforderlich. Umfassende weltweite Forschungsprojekte deuten auf die allgemeine Kompatibilität der verwendeten überwiegend ferritischen Stähle für die vorgesehenen Betriebsbedingungen von bis zu 60 °C bei 100 bar Wasserstoff hin. Dies ist jedoch nicht direkt übertragbar auf schweißtechnische Reparatur- und Wartungsarbeiten an im Betrieb befindlichen Pipelines. Ein im Erdgasnetz etabliertes Verfahren stellt das „Hot-Tapping“ dar, bei dem eine unter Druck stehende Pipeline im Betrieb angebohrt wird. Hierfür kommt ein an die Rohrleitung geschweißtes Formstück zum Einsatz, das die Montage der Bohr-/Lochschneidemaschine ermöglicht. In den Richtlinien EIGA 121/14 bzw. AIGA 033/14 wird darauf hingewiesen, dass das Anbohren von Wasserstoffleitungen kein Routineverfahren darstellt: “[…] a hydrogen hot-tap shall not be considered a routine procedure […]“. Dieser Aussage liegt unter anderem zugrunde, dass das Anschweißen des Formstücks an das Rohr und alle zu erwartenden Wärmebehandlungen vor und nach dem Schweißen eine lokale Temperaturerhöhung verursachen. Insbesondere auch an der Rohrinnenfläche, die dem Wasserstoff ausgesetzt ist. Diese erhöhten Temperaturen begünstigen die Absorption und Diffusion von Wasserstoff in das Material. Besonders zu beachten ist außerdem die lokal auftretende kurzzeitige Austenitisierung des Materials, die eine lokal stark erhöhte Wasserstoffkonzentration verursachen kann. Aus den genannten Gründen gibt diese Studie einen kurzen Überblick über die derzeit weltweit verfügbaren Forschungsprojekte zum Schweißen von Wasserstoff-Pipelines im Betrieb. Vorgestellt werden unter anderem erste Ergebnisse des Kooperationsforschungsprojektes H2SuD, das derzeit an der BAM bearbeitet wird.

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is a non-destructive method sensitive to microstructural damages such as e.g. fiber breakage, and matrix cracking in COPVs. This study proposes a novel approach for damage monitoring by integrating acoustic emission techniques with machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify and predict damage types in COPVs. However, training accurate classification models requires extensive labeled datasets, which are very challenging to generate due to the nature of AE signal data and the lack of in-situ observations of microscopic failures in COPVs. Our research overcomes this limitation by automating the labeling process of AE signal data for different COPVs using unsupervised ML methods. The most representative features were extracted and then selected from recorded AE signals. Different unsupervised clustering algorithms were utilized based on various extracted feature combinations. The most stable clustering result was achieved and later used as appropriate labels for training classification algorithms. A deep neural network-based deep learning (DL) architecture was used to train discriminative models on AE data, identify patterns, and classify damage types into different classes with improved accuracy and speed for each COPV. Results demonstrate the potential of the proposed combined deep learning approach to train predictive models in identifying failure patterns. The trained models based on individual COPVs show high training, validation, and test accuracy for unseen datasets and offer enhanced predictive capabilities by following advanced DL techniques compared to traditional monitoring methods. The proposed method highlights its potential to improve the efficiency and safety of hydrogen storage systems.

As this requires a reliable transportation infrastructure, the conversion of existing natural gas (NG) grids is an essential part of the worldwide individual national hydrogen strategies, in addition to newly erected pipelines. In view of the known effect of hydrogen embrittlement, the compatibility of the materials already in use (typically low-alloy steels in a wide range of strengths and thicknesses) must be investigated. Initial comprehensive studies on the hydrogen compatibility of pipeline materials indicate that these materials can be used to a certain extent. Nevertheless, the material compatibility for hydrogen service is currently of great importance. However, pipelines require frequent maintenance and repair work. In some cases, it is necessary to carry out welding work on pipelines while they are under pressure, e.g., the well-known tapping of NG grids. This in-service welding brings additional challenges for hydrogen operations in terms of additional hydrogen absorption during welding and material compatibility. The challenge can be roughly divided into two parts: (1) the possible austenitization of the inner piping material exposed to hydrogen, which can lead to additional hydrogen absorption, and (2) the welding itself causes an increased temperature range. Both lead to a significantly increased hydrogen solubility in the respective materials compared to room temperature. In that connection, the knowledge on hot tapping on hydrogen pipelines is rare so far due to the missing service experiences. Fundamental experimental investigations are required to investigate the possible transferability of the state-of-the-art concepts from NG to hydrogen pipeline grids. This is necessary to ensure that no critical material degradation occurs due to the potentially increased hydrogen uptake. For this reason, the paper introduces the state of the art in pipeline hot tapping, encompassing current research projects and their individual solution strategies for the problems that may arise for future hydrogen service. Methods of material testing, their limitations, and possible solutions will be presented and discussed.

This temporary tower was exposed to various explosive loads up to the level of 10 kg TNT. The orthogonality of the pressure effect is clearly recognisable. The pressure peak is reduced by 15% in the direction of the openings and the wind effect is reduced by around 40%. Both effects are greater in the direction of the diagonals. Another important point is risk management during the H2 market ramp-up. The aspects of specifically controlled reliability, consequence control and also new technologies, e.g. for the insulation of cryogenic storage facilities, are explained. Another aspect is analysing the effect of minimum requirements in standards according to risk-based criteria. Monte Carlo simulation is used for this purpose. Efficient, random sample-based recurring tests and optimised and consistent data availability are further aspects. Conclusions:  Usage of hydrogen needs careful safety precautions and reliable equipment  Worst case scenarios must get prevented but possible consequences should be taken into account, also.  For the market rump-up new approaches are necessary for keeping the system running and for ensuring an adequate safety level: - probabilistic evaluation of components - improvement of NDT-methods - digital tools for data administration and sharing - simulation of effectiveness of minimum requirements in RCS - new storage concepts e.g. for LH2 T2 - 5th Germany-Korea Hydrogen Conference CY - Halle (Saale), Germany DA - 22.10.2024 KW - Risk control KW - Hydrogen transport KW - DCC KW - DCoC KW - DPP KW - TNT PY - 2024 AN - OPUS4-61440 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Mair, Georg W.

T1 - DIN TS 19472 - Das Monte-Carlo-Experiment in der Normung N2 - Der Foliensatz erläutert den Denkansatz, die Normstruktur und eine evtl. Programmstruktur für das Normungsprojekt TS 19472. Das Spannungsfeld heutiger Normung basiert auf den immer komplexer vorhersagbaren Eigenschaften Fertigungsstreuung und Bauteilalterung. Während man die Bauteilalterung mit neuen Verfahren der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung usw. betriebsbegleitend bewertet, kann der Fertigungsstreuung mit ihrem Einfluss auf die zu erwartenden Ausfälle nur mit probabilistischen Mitteln direkt begegnet werden. Ein probabilistischer Zulassungsansatz würde aber zu enorm komplexen Bewertungsprozessen führen, die wiederum in ihrer Feldanwendung komplexer zu bewerten und damit ohne langjährige Erfahrung fehleranfälliger als deterministische Verfahren sein dürften. Um diesen Konflikt aufzulösen, bietet es sich zumindest übergangsweise an, den probabilistischen Ansatz nicht unmittelbar in der Zulassung anzuwenden, sondern die in der Breite vertrauten, deterministischen Zulassungsvorschriften auf ihre Wirkung zu überprüfen und ggf. zu optimieren. Hierzu kann die systematisch numerische Wiederholung eines sog. Monte-Carlo-Experiments eingesetzt werden. Hierzu wird für verschiedene Parametersätze, die die Grenze noch akzeptierter Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit beschreiben, das nachfolgend beschriebene, numerische Experiment wiederholt ausgeführt. Die Wiederholung erfolgt in definierten Variationsschritten über das gesamte Spektrum praktisch relevanter Streuungswerte. Jedes Experiment besteht somit aus der Generierung einer Grundgesamtheit zu dem für den jeweiligen Variationsschritt spezifischen Parametersatz. Danach wird die Grundgesamtheiten in Zufallsstichproben einer definierten Größe aufgeteilt und jede simulierte Stichprobe auf deren Akzeptanz gemäß dem betrachteten Akzeptanzkriterium in der Norm analysiert. Daraus resultiert für jede Grundgesamtheit aus dem Einzelexperiment die Wahrscheinlichkeit zur Annahme einer Stichprobe . Mit der systematischen Wiederholung des Experiments ist der Verlauf  der Akzeptanzwahrscheinlichkeit bekannt, mit der eine grenzwertige Eigenschaft nach einem deterministischen Akzeptanzkriterium noch angenommen werde würde und damit auch ein ungenügendes Baumuster aufgrund der jeweils betrachteten Eigenschaft nicht abgelehnt werden würde.

Among different solutions to the currently used compressed or liquified hydrogen systems, physical adsorption at cryogenic temperature in porous materials is an attractive alternative due to its fast and reversible operation and the resulting reduction in storage pressure. The feasibility of cryoadsorption for hydrogen storage depends mainly on the performance of the used materials for the specific application, where metal-organic frameworks or MOFs are remarkable candidates. In this work, gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen uptakes at 77 K and up to 100 bar of commercially available MOFs were measured since these materials are made from relatively cheap and accessible building blocks. These materials also show relatively high porous properties and are currently near to large-scale production. The measuring device was calibrated at different room temperatures to calculate an average correction factor and standard deviation so that the correction deviation is included in the measurement error for better comparability with different measurements. The influence of measurement conditions was also studied, concluding that the available adsorbing area of material and the occupied volume of the sample are the most critical factors for a reproducible measurement, apart from the samples’ preparation before measurement. Finally, the actual volumetric storage density of the used powders was calculated by directly measuring their volume in the analysis cell, comparing that value with the maximum volumetric uptake considering the measured density of crystals. From this selection of commercial MOFs, the materials HKUST-1, PCN-250(Fe), MOF-177, and MOF-5 show true potential to fulfill a volumetric requirement of 40 g·L−1 on a material basis for hydrogen storage systems without further packing of the powders.

The further development of this technology requires reliable data on the H2 uptake of the adsorbents, however, even for activated carbons the values between different laboratories show sometimes large discrepancies. So far no reference material for hydrogen cryoadsorption is available. The metal‐organic framework ZIF‐8 is an ideal material possessing high thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability that reduces degradation during handling and activation. Here, we distributed ZIF‐8 pellets synthesized by extrusion to 9 laboratories equipped with 15 different experimental setups including gravimetric and volumetric analyzers. The gravimetric H2 uptake of the pellets was measured at 77 K and up to 100 bar showing a high reproducibility between the different laboratories, with a small relative standard deviation of 3–4 % between pressures of 10–100 bar. The effect of operating variables like the amount of sample or analysis temperature was evaluated, remarking the calibration of devices and other correction procedures as the most significant deviation sources. Overall, the reproducible hydrogen cryoadsorption measurements indicate the robustness of the ZIF‐8 pellets, which we want to propose as a reference material.

There were 14 participating laboratories. The traveling standards (i.e., 14 mixtures each) were obtained from an external source and checked for homogeneity and stability before and after the participants' measurements at the two coordinating laboratories. The data evaluation was performed using a consensus value and a laboratory effect model. The results of the participants were benchmarked against a key comparison reference value computed from the largest consistent subset (LCS) of the submitted results, adjusted for the differences between the travelling standards. For the first time in a key comparison in gas analysis, the model included a term to account for excess variability in the LCS. Most of the participants reported one or a few (slightly) discrepant results. Partly this is due to the heterogeneity and heteroscedasticity of the datasets. In all, the results in this key comparison demonstrate the good comparability of the national measurement standards for natural gas composition maintained by the participating NMIs. Main text.

T1 - Large-scale hydrogen storage in geological reservoirs: Current perspectives and requirements for metrology N2 - The course of the changeover of UGS from natural gas to hydrogen varies depending on the type of the underground gas storage (UGS). In caverns a changeover to high H2-contents can be achieved quickly, while pore storage tanks must be converted over long periods of time. The analytical requirements are correspondingly different. This information has been compiled through expert statement by underground storage operators. A significant number of new UGS is currently not expected. Public funds (project funding) are currently being raised for the conversion of caverns to hydrogen. In addition, investigations and evaluations of the material are currently being carried out at various storage facilities in order to determine the possibilities and costs of a conversion. H2 admixtures to natural gas, but also pure H2 caverns are considered. The bottleneck seems to be the availability of large volumes of hydrogen. The analytical requirements along with the different hydrogen qualities, which are currently discussed were compiled through expert discussions with underground storage operators and are at hand as early impact results.

Therefore a reliable infrastructure to transport hydrogen in a large scale is needed. A so called European hydrogen backbone out of long distance transmission pipelines is planned by European countries to create a hydrogen transport infrastructure. Due to economic reasons this will be achieved by new build pipelines such as repurposed natural Gas (NG) pipelines, converted to hydrogen useage. A general suitability for hydrogen service of low alloyed pipeline steel, as it is used for NG service today, is given. But in case of necessary in-service welding procedures in terms of e.g. hot-tapping and stoppling, the risk of a critical hydrogen uptake into the pipe materials due to much higher temeperatures while welding and the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) needs to be closely investigated. The presentation gives an overview of the current H2-SuD project, investigating the feasability of in-service welding on future hydrogen pipelines. Therefore, component-like demonstrators were developed to test (I) the additional hydrogen uptake due to in-service welding under hydrogen pressure and (II) to measure the temperature field due to different welding parameters and demonstrator geometries, especially on the inner pipe wall surface. Collected data will be used to validate a numerical simulation of the thermal field and additionally the hydrogen diffusion in the pipeline material.

The construction of these thick-walled structures requires highly efficient welding processes such as submerged arc welding (SAW). However, SAW presents challenges related to delayed hydrogen assisted cold cracking (HACC). Despite its importance, the effect of different diffusion coefficients on the cold cracking susceptibility of different microstructures within SAW-welded S690 steels is not fully understood. For this reason, the present study focuses on comparing the cold cracking susceptibility of thermomechanically rolled (TM) or quenched and tempered (QL) variants of S690 steel. SAW was performed on specimens of both steel grades to produce weldments consisting of weld metal, heat-affected zone (HAZ), and base metal. Electrochemical hydrogen permeation tests (ISO 17081) were performed to determine the microstructure specific coefficients. Using the obtained coefficients, a numerical model was developed to identify the time- and microstructure-dependent local hydrogen diffusion and its influence on the distribution within the welds. The results showed that the TM grade exhibited slightly accelerated hydrogen diffusion compared to the QL grade, which is beneficial for hydrogen reduction and increases the HACC resistance. However, the further simulations with different ply sequences showed that the welding heat input (i.e. welding ply sequence) had a significantly higher effect on hydrogen accumulation. Specifically, increased welding heat input and increased thicknesses decrease hydrogen diffusivity. For this reason, microstructure-specific hydrogen diffusion played a minor role in thick-layer SAW joints compared to the need to control the welding parameters (layer sequence, individual layer thickness, welding heat input).

MPEAs, such as the CoCrNi medium entropy alloy (MEA), have attracted considerable research attention as potential materials to replace, for example, austenitic steels in high-pressure hydrogen environments. Due to the relatively new alloy concept, studies on the specific hydrogen diffusion and trapping behavior of high-pressure hydrogen-charged CoCrNi MEAs are rare so far. For this reason, a CoCrNi-MEA was investigated and compared to an austenitic stainless steel, AISI 316L. Both materials were subjected to high pressure hydrogen loading for two different pressures: 200 bar and 1,000 bar. After charging, thermal desorption analysis (TDA) was used with three heating rates from 0.125 K/s to 0.500 K/s to clarify the specific hydrogen desorption and trapping behavior. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to characterize hydrogen diffusion and trapping in 1,000 bar high-pressure charged CoCrNi. For this purpose, the underlying TDA spectra were analyzed in terms of peak deconvolution into a metallurgically justifiable number of defined peaks. The individual peak temperatures and activation energies “EA” were calculated. The following conclusions can be drawn from the results obtained: (1) Exposure to 200 bar or 1,000 bar leads to an increase in hydrogen absorption, regardless of the material investigated, expressed by a significantly increased desorption rate at 1,000 bar. However, the effusion peaks typically occur only at high temperatures. The (2) TDA showed that a four-peak deconvolution scenario was sufficient to describe the trapping behavior and the "EA" indicated the dominance of irreversible traps. In addition, the average trapping energy is higher than in the 316L. The (3) charge pressure related hydrogen solubility was in the order of: CoCrNi-MEA < 316L for both pressures and (4) charging at 1000 bar results in an average concentration of 49 wt.ppm (CoCrNi-MEA) and > 75 wt.ppm (316L). In summary, the CoCrNi-MEA was characterized by a reduced solubility, but very deep entrapment compared to the 316L. For this reason, further application potentials of the MEA may arise.

HSLA grades derive their strength from a combination of specific heat treatment and the underlying chemical composition. In this context, Ti or Nb are essential to obtain a fine-grained microstructure as well as the necessary carbides or nitrides for precipitation strengthening. In this context, the specific effect of Ti or Nb-rich compounds on hydrogen trapping and diffusion is well known for special laboratory cast alloys, but unknown for realistic steel compositions. For this reason, a series of S690Q-based alloys were synthesized, close to a real steel composition, but with well controlled Ti or Nb additions in different amounts. Specimens were obtained from these alloys by electrochemical discharge machining (EDM). The specimens were tested using the well-established electrochemical permeation technique. From the experimental results, the hydrogen diffusion coefficients and the analytical subsurface hydrogen concentration were calculated. In addition, the hydrogen trapping behavior at elevated temperatures was interpreted by thermal desorption analysis (TDA) using different heating rates of hydrogen charged samples. The results showed that in contrast to metallurgically "pure" laboratory cast alloys, realistic chemical compositions were similar in their hydrogen trapping behavior, despite some small differences. All investigated steel grades exhibited shallow and reversible hydrogen trapping, regardless of their chemical composition. Of course, the experiments only allowed the calculation of effective diffusion coefficients and trapping energies, which represent an average of the entire microstructure. Nevertheless, HSLA steels are typically joined by arc welding, which includes the risk of delayed hydrogen assisted cracking. From the point of view of welding practice, however, a more or less identical hydrogen diffusion behavior means that no special "metallurgically specific", justifiable measures need to be considered, despite the well-established processes such as "soaking" or dehydrogenation heat treatment. Of course, a closer look at the heat-affected zone (HAZ) or the weld metal of the specific welds is necessary. However, especially in the case of thick-walled welds, it is assumed that the weld metal and HAZ are similar to the base material due to the multi-layer welding, which results in multiple annealing cycles of the weld metal and HAZ.

In addition to new pipelines, the conversion of existing natural gas (NG) pipeline grids is an essential part. The transport of hydrogen is fundamentally different from that of NG, as hydrogen can be absorbed into the pipeline material. Given the effects of hydrogen embrittlement, the material compatibility (low alloy steels in a wide range of strengths and thicknesses) must be investigated. However, pipelines e.g. require maintenance or the need for installation of additional outlets with the necessity of welding on/onto the pipelines while they are still in service, i.e. with gas flow under high pressure, such as the well-known "hot tapping". This in-service welding poses challenges for hydrogen operations. The challenge can be roughly divided into the possible austenitization of the inner pipe material exposed to hydrogen, the welding itself, which causes an increased temperature range. Both lead to a significant increase in hydrogen solubility and diffusivity compared to room temperature. In addition, possible surface reactions of the present iron oxides (e.g. magnetite or hematite) with the hot hydrogen should be considered. In this context, the knowledge of hydrogen pipelines is scarce due to the lack of operational experience. Fundamental experimental investigations are required to investigate the transferability from NG to hydrogen pipeline grids. For this reason, the present study presents a specially designed mock-up / demonstrator concept for the realistic assessment of the welding process conditions. The mock-up was designed to allow in-situ temperature measurement during the welding process as well as ex-post sample extraction for quantification of the absorbed hydrogen concentration. For safety reasons, the required volume of pressurized hydrogen was limited by inserting a solid cylinder to ensure a 1 cm thick layer of hydrogen gas. Welding experiments on the DN60 and DN200 pressurized mock-ups showed the possibility of safe welding on or onto pressurized hydrogen pipelines. Indeed, the austenitizing temperature was reached on the inner surface of the pipeline, especially on thinner-walled pipelines, using current welding parameter recommendations. This corresponded to an increased hydrogen uptake in the welded area of several ppm. From this point of view, the suggested component concept is a viable strategy for the screening of several materials and welding parameter combinations under realistic operational conditions.

The weld seam formation and the achievable metallurgical and mechanical properties of the hybrid welds were investigated experimentally for two types of filler wire, an austenitic wire dissimilar to the base metal (BM) and an experimentally produced matching ferritic wire. Safe penetration and uniform distribution of the austenitic filler metal in the narrow hybrid weld could only be achieved in the upper, arcdominated part of the weld. The pronounced heterogeneous distribution of the austenitic filler metal in the middle part and in the root area of the weld could not ensure sufficient notched impact toughness of the weld metal (WM). As a result, a decrease in the impact energy down to 17±3 J was observed, which is below the acceptance level of ≥34 J for cryogenic applications. In contrast, the use of a matching ferritic filler wire resulted in satisfactory impact energy of the hybrid welds of up to 134±52 J at the concerned cryogenic temperature of -196 °C. The obtained results contribute to an important and remarkable conversion in automated manufacturing of LNG facilities. In other words, the results will help to develop a new laser-based welding technology, where both quality and productivity are considered.The efficiency of the developed welding process has been demonstrated by manufacturing a prototype where a segment of the inner wall of large size LNG storage tank was constructed. In this concern, hybrid laser arc welding was conducted in both horizontal (2G) and vertical (3G) positions as a simulation to the actual onsite manufacturing. The prototype was fabricated twice where its quality was confirmed based on non-destructive and destructive examinations.

Die Experimente zielten darauf ab, eine unbeabsichtigte Freisetzung von LH2 (z.B. durch Schlauchabriss) insbesondere bei der Betankung eines Schiffes zu simulieren. Für verflüssigtes Erdgas (LNG) wurden dabei sog. RPT’s (rapid phase transition) nachgewiesen, bei denen die spontane Verdampfung relevante Druckwellen erzeugt. Es kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass RPTs auch im Falle von LH2 möglich sind. Die Versuche wurden auf dem Testareal Wasserstoffsicherheit auf dem Testgelände Technische Sicherheit der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM-TTS) in Horstwalde, im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation zwischen der BAM und Gexcon im Rahmen des SH2IFT-Programms durchgeführt. Die LH2-Freisetzungen erfolgten direkt aus einem LH2-Tanklastwagen über eine lange, flexible, vakuumisolierte Transferleitung. Während die Freisetzung oberhalb und unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche jeweils vertikal orientiert war, wurde bei der Unterwasserfreisetzung zusätzlich eine horizontale Ausströmung, parallel zur Wasseroberfläche realisiert. Zur Bestimmung des Massenstromes, wurde ein Wägesystem unter dem Tankwagen eingesetzt. Spezielle Drucksensoren wurden verwendet, um die durch die Freisetzungsvorgänge erzeugten Stoßwellen sowohl im Wasser als auch in der Luft zu messen. Die Gaskonzentrationen über dem Wasserbecken wurden an verschiedenen Positionen gemessen. Hochgeschwindigkeits-, Infrarot- (IR) und normale Kameras wurden eingesetzt, um die Phänomenologie der Freisetzung aufzuzeichnen und das Verhalten der Gaswolke im Zeitverlauf zu verfolgen. Neben den fest installierten Systemen an Land, kamen auch Unterwasserkameras sowie eine Drohne mit Normal- und IR-Kameras zum Einsatz. Zwei Wetterstationen wurden zur Messung von Windgeschwindigkeit, Windrichtung, Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit während aller durchgeführten Tests eingesetzt. Des Weiteren kamen Bolometer zur Wärmestrahlungsmessung zum Einsatz. Zwar führten die Freisetzung zu einer hochturbulenten LH2/Wasser Mischzone, jedoch zu keinen nennenswerten Überdrücken durch RPT. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde unerwartet, aber reproduzierbar, eine Zündung der Gaswolke in freier Luft in einiger Entfernung von den Instrumenten und dem Ort der Freisetzung beobachtet. Die daraus resultierenden Gaswolkenexplosionen führten zu relevanten Überdrücken und zur Wärmeabstrahlung in die Umgebung.

Since hydrogen is usually stored and transported under pressure, one scenario to be considered is the momentum driven release of hydrogen from a leakage with subsequent ignition. In this scenario, the emitted heat radiation from the resulting jet flame to the surroundings has to be determined to define adequate safety distances. For hydrocarbon flames, different jet flame models are available to assess the hazards resulting from an ignited jet release. Since hydrogen flames differ from hydrocarbon flames in their combustion behavior, it has to be checked if these models are also applicable for hydrogen. To evaluate the accuracy of these models for hydrogen jet flames, tests with a horizontal outlet at large-scale are carried out at the BAM Test Site for Technical Safety (BAM-TTS). Herein, the flame geometry and the heat radiation at defined locations in the surroundings are recorded for varying release parameters such as release pressure (currently up to max. 250 bar), mass flow (up to max. 0.175 kg/s) at an outlet diameter of 30 mm (with an upstream nozzle of 7.7 mm). The challenge here is the characterization of the flame geometry in an open environment and its impact on the thermal radiation. Existing heat radiation data from the literature are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions. For a better comparability with the steady state jet flame models, the experiments presented here are focused on ensuring a constant mass flow over the release duration (currently 120 s) to obtain a stationary jet flame. In addition, stationary outflow tests with hydrocarbons (methane) were also carried out, which are intended to serve as reference tests for checking flame models based on hydrocarbon data. The comparison of the flame geometry shows that hydrogen jet flames with the same outlet mass flow have a greater flame length (average deviation of 15 %) but a smaller flame diameter than methane jet flames (average deviation of 17 %). Conclusions regarding thermal radiation show that the proportion of total combustion energy emitted as thermal radiation is lower for hydrogen (x_rad= 0.04–0.09) than for methane (x_rad = 0.06–0.1). A comparison of the surface emissive power (SEP) of the jet flame shows a SEP range of 7 kW/m2-15 kW/m2 for hydrogen and 3 kW/m2 - 9,5 kW/m2 for methane.

Until today, only a few corrosion protection systems have proven themselves for the interaction of efficiency, installation, and maintenance in the offshore sector. In addition, available corrosion test methods sometimes have major deficits about conclusions of the durability. Therefore, there is more research and development needed. The flagship project H2Mare of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research aims to enable the production of green hydrogen and PtX products at high seas. Research is being driven forward by the partners in four individual projects, where BAM is involved in two. In PtX-Wind, major kinds of corrosion attacks at offshore constructions are characterized and investigated, and suitable corrosion protection measures determined. In TransferWind, attention focusses on transferring scientific results into standardization.

The focus of this study was the microstructure and heat treatment effect on the mechanical properties of P92 base material and P91 multi-layer weld metal in both as-welded and post weld heat treated (PWHT) condition. Tensile tests with hydrogen free reference samples and electrochemically hydrogen charged samples were carried out, the mechanical properties were assessed and supported by dedicated fractographic analysis. In addition, hydrogen and microstructure dependent fracture criteria were calculated. All investigated microstructures showed a hydrogen influenced degradation of the mechanical properties compared to the hydrogen free reference samples. In that connection, the as welded martensitic P91 weld metal had the highest degree of degradation in presence of hydrogen. The P91 PWHT weld metal and the P92 base material had comparable properties. From that point of view, a significantly increased risk for hydrogen assisted cold cracking during welding fabrication of P91 weld joints must be considered before any heat treatment is conducted.

T1 - Real scale safety investigations of hydrogen jet flames at high pressure N2 - In order to reduce the human footprint of CO2 emissions and limit global warming effects hydrogen combustion is becoming increasingly important. To enable fuel cells and gas turbines to operates this carbon free fuel, unprecedently large amounts of hydrogen need to be produced and safely transported and stored. The investigation of the effects of accidents involving hydrogen is therefore becoming of outmost importance. Since hydrogen is usually stored and transported under pressure, one scenario to be considered is the release of hydrogen from a leakage with subsequent ignition. The resulting jet flame must be characterized with respect to the thermal radiation emitted into the environment to define safety regulations. Various models that characterize the resulting flame shape and radiation already exist in the literature, but these are mainly based on empirical data from hydrocarbon jet flames.[1-4] To verify these models, a H2 Jet Flame project conducted at BAM, is investigating the safety of momentum driven hydrogen jet flames. For this purpose, large-scale tests are carried out at the Test Site Technical Safety (BAM-TTS). The object of the investigations is to assess the effects of real scale release scenarios regarding flame geometry and the thermal radiation emitted. Parameters such as release angle, leakage diameter (currently 1 mm to 10 mm), pressure (currently up to max. 250 bar) and mass flow (up to max. 0.5 kg/s) are varied. In addition, influences such as the type of ignition, ignition location as well as delayed ignition can also be investigated. The gained knowledge will be compared with existing jet flame models, to validate these and identify a possible need for further development. In particular, the focus will be laid on the thermal radiation of hydrogen flames. The challenge here is the visualization and characterization of the flame geometry in an open environment. Visualization is performed using infrared (IR) camera systems from at least two viewing angles. Measurements of the heat radiation of jet flames, which can be found in the literature, are mostly based on unsteady outflow conditions. The experimental setup used here allows for the generation of a steady-state outflow for several minutes and thus a direct comparability with existing (steady-state) models. Furthermore, the tests can be carried out for comparative measurements with hydrocarbons (methane, etc.) as well as mixtures of hydrogen and hydrocarbons.

T1 - Experimental Investigation into the Consequences of Release of Liquified Hydrogen onto and under Water N2 - Large-scale experiments have been performed to investigate the possible consequences of realistic amounts of liquified hydrogen (LH2) encountering water. The experiments aimed at simulating an accidental release of LH2 onto water, for instance during the fuelling of a ship. For liquified natural gas (LNG), it has been demonstrated that physical explosions may occur when it is spilled onto water. These phenomena are referred as rapid phase transitions (RPTs). It cannot be excluded that RPTs are also possible in the case of LH2. The tests were performed at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Horstwalde, Germany. The tests were performed in a 10 m x 10 x 1.5 m basin filled with water. LH2 releases of up to about 1 kg/s were established releasing directly from a trailer carrying LH2. The releases occurred from a height of 50 cm above the water surface pointing downwards, 30 cm under the water surface pointing downwards and 30 cm under the water surface pointed along the water surface. All release configurations resulted in a very chaotic LH2-water mixing zone, causing considerable evaporation and resulting in minor over pressures. No RPTs were observed. The main phenomenon to be observed is, however, an ignition of the released gas cloud resulting in significant blast wave overpressures and heat radiation to the surroundings. The ignition occurred in all under-water releases and in about 90 % of the releases above the water surface.

T1 - Medium-scale tests to investigate the possibility and effects of BLEVEs of storage vessels containing liquified hydrogen N2 - Experiments have been performed to determine the consequences of a storage vessel containing liquified hydrogen (LH2) is engulfed by a fire. The tests were performed at the Test Site Technical Safety of the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) in Germany within a research cooperation between BAM and Gexcon as part of the SH2IFT program. Three tests were performed using double-walled vacuum insulated vessels of 1 m3 volume varying the orientation of the vessel and the effect of the insulation material used (perlite or multi-layer insulation (MLI)). The degree of filling of the vessel was approximately 35 % in each of the tests performed. The fire load was provided by a propane fed burner positioned under the storage vessel and designed to give a homogeneous fire load. In one of the tests a rupture of the storage vessel occurred causing a blast, a fireball and fragments. Apart from measuring these consequences, the conditions in the vessel (e.g. temperatures and pressure) during the heating process were monitored in all three tests. The work described was undertaken as part of the project Safe Hydrogen fuel handling and Use for Efficient Implementation (SH2IFT).

N2 - Hydrogen gas plays a key role in the European energy transition strategy. When transmitting and storing compressed hydrogen gas, safety is one of the most important conditions. With increasing hydrogen pressure and temperature, more hydrogen is absorbed by the steel components, such as pipelines or valves, and may lead to embrittlement. Although, a deep understanding of microstructure on the hydrogen solubility in steels is missing. Classical Sieverts’ law is only valid at high temperatures and low gas pressures. For that purpose, new theory is presented, which explains the role of microstructure on hydrogen solubility. Hydrogen trapping at microstructural defects is a thermally activated mechanism and causes an increase of the hydrogen solubility with decreasing temperatures. This mechanism has to be considered in cryogenic applications, such liquid or compressed hydrogen storage.

Die Untersuchung von Störfallauswirkungen mit Wasserstoff rückt somit stärker in den Fokus. Da Wasserstoff meist unter Druck gelagert und transportiert wird, ist ein zu betrachtendes Szenario die Freisetzung aus einer Leckage mit anschließender Zündung. Die daraus resultierende Freistrahlflamme (Jet Flame) muss hinsichtlich der in die Umgebung emittierten Wärmestrahlung charakterisiert werden. In der Literatur existieren bereits verschiedene Modelle ([1], [2]), welche jedoch vermehrt auf Daten aus Kohlenwasserstoffflammen mit geringem Impuls basieren. Zur Überprüfung dieser Modelle wird im Zuge des BAM internen H2 Jet Flame Projektes die sicherheitstechnische Untersuchung von impulsbehafteten Wasserstoff Freistrahlflammen vorgenommen. Hierfür finden Versuche im Realmaßstab auf dem Testgelände Technische Sicherheit der BAM (BAM-TTS) statt. Gegenstand der Untersuchungen ist die Beurteilung der Auswirkungen von realistischen Freisetzungsszenarien hinsichtlich der Flammengeometrie und der freigesetzten Wärmestrahlung. Dabei werden Parameter wie Freisetzungswinkel, Leckagedurchmesser (z.Zt. 1 mm bis 10 mm), Druck (z.Zt. bis max. 250 bar) und Massenstrom (bis max. 0,5 kg/s) variiert. Zusätzlich können auch Einflüsse wie Art der Zündung, Zündort sowie Zündung mit zeitlichem Verzug untersucht werden. Gewonnene Erkenntnisse werden mit den Ergebnissen bereits vorhandener Modelle verglichen und diese im Bedarfsfall weiterentwickelt. Insbesondere wird der Fokus auf die Modellierung der freigesetzten Wärmestrahlung von Wasserstoffflammen gelegt. Herausforderung dabei stellt die IR-Vermessung und Modellierung von Sichtmodellen der Flammen dar. Die Visualisierung der Flammengeometrie wird mit Hilfe mehrerer Infrarot Kamerasystemen (aus mindestens zwei Blickwinkeln) vorgenommen. Bisherige Messungen, die in der Literatur zu finden sind, basieren meist auf instationären Auströmbedingungen. Der hier verwendete Versuchsaufbau ermöglicht ein stationäres Ausströmen für mehrere Minuten und somit eine direkte Vergleichbarkeit mit den existierenden (stationären) Modellen. Weiterhin ist der Versuchsstand umrüstbar für Vergleichsmessungen mit Kohlenwasserstoffen (Methan etc.) sowie Mischungen aus Wasserstoff und Kohlenwasserstoffen.

T1 - Thermodynamic (p, ρ, T) characterization of H2-enriched natural gases N2 - Hydrogen-enriched natural gas, H2NG is a mixture of natural gas and H2 that can be used on existing natural gas infrastructure with little or even no modification to be applied H2NG is thus an option in the transition from fossil fuels to a hydrogen economy, as it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and can accelerate the adoption of H2 from renewable sources. Theoretically, H2 can be mixed with NG in any ratio, but H2NG mixtures with up to 20 vol-% of H2 represent the most realistic near term option due to technical and economic reasons. The addition of H2 to natural gas alters the thermodynamic properties of the mixture, which affects its transport, storage, and combustion characteristics. In this work, we present experimental density measurements for different H2NG mixtures, performed with a high-precision single sinker densimeter from 250 to 350 K and up to 20 MPa. The mixtures were prepared gravimetrically according to ISO 6142-1 for maximum precision in their composition.

Hydrogen fuel quality needs to comply with ISO 14687:2025 to avoid any harmful impact on the vehicles. Total sulphur is one of the most impactful contaminants to a fuel cell system and has a threshold of 4 nmol/mol. In the European Partnership for Metrology (EPM) project Met4H2, BAM together with VSL, the National Metrology Institute of the Netherlands, developed novel gaseous primary reference materials (PRM) to improve the accuracy of the analysis of 7 sulphur compounds (hydrogen sulphide, carbonyl sulphide, methyl mercaptan, ethyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulphide, diethyl sulphide, and tetrahydrothiophene) for the quality control of hydrogen as fuel gas at this challenging amount fraction. These PRM were cross-validated using thermal desorption gas chromatography with a sulphur chemiluminescence detector (TD-GC/SCD). The results are presented and limits discussed.
