Atom Probe Tomography Study of Hydrogen Embrittlement in X65 Pipeline Steel

Scientific publishing and peer-reviewed research dissemination

The use of deuterium, a stable heavier isotope of hydrogen, as a proxy to distinguish between hydrogen introduced during specimen preparation and hydrogen naturally present in the material.

A technique used to introduce hydrogen or deuterium into steel specimens under controlled conditions to simulate hydrogen uptake in real-world hydrogen storage and transportation scenarios.

Material engineering approaches to prevent hydrogen-induced weakening of steel through alloy design, surface treatments, and microstructural control.
