Description

Characterise high-performance, green steels for the hydrogen economy. 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.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Yi-Sheng Chen
