Hydrogen Embrittlement in Metals and Alloys

This book offers a complete description of hydrogen technologies, from the basic theoretical underpinnings to the different production routes for various applications. It summarizes the most recent research findings with respect to theory and the broad array of industrial technologies currently in place as well as those under development with high potential.

Special attention is given to the hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms at room and high temperatures, as well as problems related to hydrogen in liquid and high-pressure compressed states. The author further describes hydrogen diffusion embrittlement issues related to different types of metallic materials, from steel to light alloys to nickel-based superalloys.

This first edition is published in 2025 and is provided in English as a publisher PDF of 84.7 MB, making it a current reference for researchers and engineers working with hydrogen and metallic materials.
