Title of Contract, Award, or Gift: Hydrogen Effects in Steels
Name of Granting or Contracting Agency/Entity:
Emerson Process Management, Regulator Technologies, Inc.
CFDA:
Program Title: none
Note:
The program of research will cover a period of 3 years. The focus of this research program will be to characterize various steels that have been hydrogen-charged. Upon identification of Emerson Electric Company needs, microstructural characterizations at UNT will be conducted on the supplied materials to further the understanding of the effect of hydrogen on mechanical properties of the steels in regulator products. All materials will be supplied by Emerson Electric Company. This research will impact the fundamental understanding of hydrogen effects in steels used in regulator products. To obtain this goal, the UNT research team will perform the following task: (1) Utilize a variety of characterization techniques to evaluate the structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of the materials: UNT will examine various steels that have been hydrogen-charged from Emerson Electric Company and examine the resulting microstructure using a variety of advanced characterization techniques, such as dual beam focused ion beam (FIB) / scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD), hardness testing, mechanical testing, and, if necessary, synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), or local electrode atom probe (LEAP) in the scope of the study.
