In a first, University of Sydney researchers have found evidence of how hydrogen causes embrittlement of steels. When hydrogen moves into steel, it makes the metal become brittle, leading to catastrophic failures. Hydrogen embrittlement of high-strength steel is an obstacle for using these steels in sustainable energy production.
