After a short introduction of the hydrogen activities at BAM, the tribological performances of polymer materials in gaseous hydrogen are presented and compared with air and vacuum environment. The second part focusses on the influence of the counterface materials in hydrogen. Finally, the last section is dedicated to experiments liquid hydrogen.
Introduction of H2Safety@BAM
(2021)
This contribution for the Open Forum of the 8th HSN Symposium introduces the SensRef activities of the Competence Centre H2Safety@BAM.
The focus of this study is to evaluate of hydrogen on the friction and wear behavior of a wide range of polymer materials. Thereby, the tribological performance of filled and unfilled polymers from different suppliers were compared at room temperature in air and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at -253°C (LH2).
Martensitic 9 %-Cr steels like P91 and P92 show susceptibility to delayed hydrogen assisted cracking depending on their microstructure. In that connection, effective hydrogen diffusion coefficients are used to assess the possible time-delay. The small number of available diffusion coefficients varies already at room temperature by several orders of magnitude (mostly regarded as result of present microstructure). Especially P91 weld metal diffusion coefficients are rare so far. For that reason, electrochemical permeation experiments had been conducted using P92 base metal and P91 weld metal (in as-welded and heat-treated condition) with different thicknesses. The diffusion coefficients are calculated by two methods (time-lag and inflection point method) were performed. The results show that, despite of microstructural effects, the sample thickness must be considered as it influences the calculated diffusion coefficients. Finally, the comparison of calculated and measured hydrogen concentrations (determined by carrier gas hot extraction) enables the identification of realistic diffusion coefficients.
This study gives an overview on the important field of joining processes for component fabrication in hydrogen technologies. For that reason, the current need and future research and developement activites are highlighted for the different technological field of hydrogen generation, storage, transport and use. In addition, the emerging field of additive manufacturing is included. Finally, some remarks are given for necessary changes in the standardization and its challenges.
This presentation deals with the influence of the counterface materials on the sliding behaviour of some polymer materials in hydrogen. Polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials were investigated against hardened 52100 martensitic bearing steel and 304 austenitic stainless steel with similar roughness (Ra = 0.2 μm). Results indicate that the friction and wear of PI and PEEK materials depend on the counterface material. This effect wasn’t observed for PTFE composites.
While the tribological performance of polyimide is better against 52100 in hydrogen, improved sliding behaviour of PEEK materials is observed with 304 counterface, particularly at higher sliding speed. Surface analyses of the transfer film reveal that the influence of the counterface is primarily related to the chemical nature of the steel for PI and to the thermal conductivity of the disc for PEEK materials.

For hazard Assessment purposes we need models to predict what would happen in case of an accident.
The challenge in hazard assessment consists not only in choosing the right model, but beforehand to define the correct scenario. For hydrogen applications the validity of the models has to be checked, as well as the kind of scenario to assume for accidental releases of hydrogen. Open questions on these topics will be adressed and the newly founded competecne centre for Hydrogen Saftey at BAM will be presented.
The focus of this study is to evaluate the influence of hydrogen on the friction and wear behavior of a wide range of polymer materials. Thereby, the tribological performance of filled und unfilled polymers from different suppliers were compared at room temperature in air and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at -235°C (LH2).
Measurement of hydrogen concentration in steels by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)
(2021)
Current efforts to achieve lightweight construction and the required reduction in CO2 emissions and an increase in energy and resource efficiency call for the increasing use of high-strength fine-grain structural steels. However, as the strength of higher-strength fine-grain structural steels increases, so do the associated joining challenges. Particular attention must be paid to hydrogen-assisted cold cracking. The influence of hydrogen reveals itself less in the strength but has a significant effect on the deformability [1, 2]. The degradation of the material properties can lead to zero ductility, where the values of the yield strengths coincide with the tensile strengths.
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a spectroscopic technique that can be used to determine elemental compositions without pre-treatment of the samples. Short, high-energy laser pulses ablate a small volume (< 0.1 mm3) of the examined material and ionize it to form a plasma. The decaying plasma emits element-specific light. This light is spectroscopically analysed and allows to detect qualitatively the present elements and to quantify them with help of a standardization routine. The simple experimental set-up and the fast, nearly non-destructive analysis procedure characterize the LIBS analysis. The LIBS method allows a time and spatially resolved in situ measurement of steel components in use.
Even low hydrogen concentrations (~ 1 wt.-ppm) in steel can be measured with the LIBS method and can be quantified with help of certified reference materials. The results are compared with results gained with the well-established carrier gas hot extraction method.
Characterization of Hydrogen Diffusion in a Thick-walled Submerged Arc Multi-Layer Weld Joint
(2021)
The energy production of the future will be dominated by CO2-emission free techniques like wind turbines and become essential in scope of the planned hydrogen economy. As onshore installation capacity is limited, the in-crease of the number of offshore wind turbines (OWT) is a major goal. In that connection, the OWTs continuously increase in size and weight and demand adequate foundations concepts like monopiles or tripods. These compo-nents are typically manufactured from welded mild steel plates with thickness up to 200 mm. The predominant welding technique is submerged arc welding (SAW) with up to five wires. In accordance with the standards, the occurrence of delayed hydrogen assisted cracking is anticipated by either a hydrogen removal heat treatment (HRHT) or a so-called minimum waiting time (MWT) before non-destructive testing (NDT) of the respective weld joint is allowed. The reason for the MWT is the necessary time for the hydrogen diffusion at ambient temperature due the high plate thickness. Both the effectiveness of a HRHT at elevated temperatures or the MWT at ambient temperature can be estimated by calculation of the diffusion time. This time depends on reliable hydrogen diffu-sion coefficients and these are rare in literature. For that reason, this study presents the hydrogen diffusion coef-ficients obtained from a multi-layer SAW joint of an offshore steel grade. Two different experimental techniques were used to identify the respective diffusion behavior: (1) hydrogen desorption experiments with a carrier gas hot extraction analyzer at elevated temperatures for the characterization of a HRHT and (2) the electrochemical permeation technique at ambient temperature for the characterization of an MWT. From both experiments, the respective diffusion coefficients were calculated. The obtained DCs are different from those reported in literature, i.e., the duration or applicability of a HRHT or MWT must be critically discussed.
Ultrasonic measurement technology has become indispensable in NDT. In order to reduce measurement time and extend the application to other materials, contactless ultrasound is the subject of many different research groups. Department 8 has been researching successfully in this field for years. A novel approach is based on so-called fluidic devices. These devices can be used to perform binary logic operations with the help of natural flow instabilities. Hence the abbreviated name, Fluidic (FLUID+LogIC). Only a pressure reservoir of the used fluid is required as energy supply. This enables the production of very robust actuators that generate ultrasonic signals in an extremely energy efficient way.
The presentation includes the research results of the ZIM innovation project OsciCheck. The original idea will be presented and its application on different building materials is validated. Beyond this, the possible application areas are much larger and a detailed outlook is given to discuss the future potential of fluidic ultrasonic actuators.
In this lecture, the safety assessment of hydrogen gas storage systems is presented using the example of composite pressure vessels. The main element is a probabilistic approval approach based on five steps. Firstly, the testing and evaluation of properties at the beginning of life are shown. Secondly, methods for artificial aging and the effect on the residual strength are presented. Thirdly, testing against dedicated accidents is introduced. Fourthly, effects on the surveillance of production quality are discussed. Finally, degradation and the end of life are estimated. Background information and examples are given for each step. The assessment presented is a method applicable for many safety-related systems.
As more industrial interests focusing on using salt caverns and repurposed gas or petroleum reservoirs for alternative fuel storage, i.e. CO2/H2, the question raises whether microorganisms may impact the infrastructure, gas purity and storage condition over time.
Environments with high salinity (> 1.5 Meq of NaCl) are resided by halophiles (salt-loving microorganisms). To compensate for the intensive osmotic stress, they have resorted to two main adaptation strategies: 1) production of compatible solutes and 2) accumulation of intracellular KCl. Microbial community analysis of several high salinity environments revealed a number of recurring genera, including Halomonas and Halanaerobium. However, the impact of halophiles on the overall integrity and stability of the storage facilities remain largely unknown.
To evaluate the suitability and stability of saline storage facilities, several model halophilic microorganisms, such as members of Halomonas, will be selected as testing subjects. First, the impact of halophiles on the infrastructure will be determined using an integrative approach by combining a number of techniques, including electrochemistry, TOF-SIMS, SEM/FIB/EDS and FIB-TEM. Second, the abilities of halophiles to alter the fuel composition (i.e. increase/decrease the fractions of H2) will be monitored using gas chromatography by growing them under high pressure.
As a result of climate change and the accompanying mandatory shift to renewable energy resources, microorganisms will continue to play an important role in the energy sector, both to their benefit and detriment. Thus, it is important to achieve a certain level of understanding regarding the activities and mechanisms of halophiles prior to large-scaled excursions.
The objective of this work is to find a method that describes the degree of damage from an impact experiment. This experiment was performed on Composite Pressure Vessels (CPV) in order to find the correlation of impact damage to the residual burst pressure. Computed Tomography (CT) approach was used to capture the before and after impact condition of the CPVs. The Wasserstein function was used to calculate how much the after impact image has differed from the original one. In the end, a good correlation was obtained to the residual burst pressure. The smaller the Wasserstein distance is, the higher the residual burst pressure would be and vice versa.
