Characterise high-performance, green steels for the hydrogen economy

该项目旨在开发一系列先进钢材的微观结构和氢相互作用方面的知识，这些钢材可以由行业合作伙伴以低碳排放的方式生产。这些钢可以为氢气管道和容器提供解决方案，而无需担心氢脆，这在实现澳大利亚安全的氢经济方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这种伙伴关系将使行业合作伙伴能够访问先进的表征工具，也将使研究员有机会在工业中开发和制造新钢材。这也将降低KIP在澳大利亚投资一家新钢厂的风险，该钢厂致力于生产支持澳大利亚氢基础设施的新型绿色钢材。

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.
