SteelyHydrogen: International Conference on Metals and Hydrogen

SteelyHydrogen 2025 provides a unique environment to share and exchange experiences on the link between metals and the various aspects of hydrogen: hydrogen-microstructure interactions, hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen detection, etc.

Given today’s interest in hydrogen as energetic vector, and the maturity of some technologies becoming reality, the SteelyHydrogen forum in 2025 will again pay specific attention to the role of hydrogen in the global energy transition. Particular focus will be on material challenges.

    • Aqueous environment
    • Gas environment
    • HIC & Stress Sulphide Cracking (SSC)
    • Metallurgical influences
    • Mitigation actions (microstructural design, coatings, etc.)
    • Mechanisms
  • Modelling the hydrogen-metal interactions and/or the hydrogen embrittlement from atomic to meso-scale
  • Advanced methods to characterise hydrogen
  • Hydrogen-metal interactions: hydrogen activity, diffusion, trapping, etc.
  • Surfaces and coatings for metallic substrates in hydrogen environment
