CLE AIChE October 30, 2023: ASM Joint Meeting, H2 and its effect on heating metals

As the world looks to decarbonize, industrial processes will have to meet the challenges. One possible outcome for industrial decarbonization is changing to hydrogen as a fuel source from traditional carbon-based fuels. However, pure hydrogen as an industrial fuel source in the metals industry is largely unknown, specifically from its metallurgical impacts and its heating characteristics. The use of hydrogen is hypothesized to have different metallurgical impacts depending on the material. This is of specific interest to materials such as titanium or aluminum which have an affinity for hydrogen. Also, the heating characteristics of hydrogen combustion for each metal is of interest and specifically the focus of the study presented.
