Swerim – National Hydrogen Research Centre for Metallic Materials invites you to a Course in Hydrogen Embrittlement.
Hydrogen embrittlement may deteriorate important mechanical properties (ductility and fracture toughness) of metallic materials leading to sudden catastrophic failures even at stresses way below the yield strength.
Nowadays hydrogen gas is seen as attractive solution for fossil-free society but the threat to hydrogen embrittlement remains. Since hydrogen is of great importance for the future, the metal research institute Swerim is providing a course in hydrogen embrittlement. The course is meant for engineers/researchers that would like to obtain fundamental knowledge for hydrogen embrittlement of metallic materials.
