Hydrogen is an important energy source for variety of microorganisms on this planet. In oxygen-free, subsurface environments with limited electron donors, hydrogen plays a central role in energy metabolisms of anaerobic microorganisms. Sulfate-reducing prokaryotes,...
Welding for Material Tests

Welding for Material Tests

As part of work package WP4 “Material and Corrosion”, it is planned to test several metallic materials under hydrogen environment. It is admitted that Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in a welding can be more sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. As a matter of fact, thermic...
