Characterise high-performance, green steels for the hydrogen economy

该项目旨在发展关于一系列先进钢的微观结构和氢相互作用的知识，这些钢可以由行业合作伙伴以低碳排放生产。这些钢材可以为氢气管道和容器提供解决方案，而无需担心氢脆问题，这对澳大利亚实现安全的氢气经济起到了至关重要的作用。这一合作关系将允许行业合作伙伴获得先进的表征工具，并将使研究员有机会在工业中开发和制造新的钢材。这也将降低KIP在澳大利亚投资建设一家新钢厂的风险，该钢厂致力于生产支持澳大利亚氢气基础设施的新绿色钢材。

This project aims to develop the knowledge around microstructures and hydrogen interactions of a range of advanced steels that can be produced with low carbon emissions by the industry partner. These steels can lead to solutions for the hydrogen pipes and vessels without concern of hydrogen embrittlement, which play a crucial role in enabling a safe hydrogen economy in Australia. This partnership will allow the industry partner to access the advanced characterisation tools and will also expose the Fellow with the opportunity to develop and manufacture new steels in industry. This will also de-risk the KIP’s investment in Australia for a new steel mill dedicating to the new green steels for supporting Australia’s hydrogen infrastructure.
