Proceedings of the international conference on hydrogen effects in materials, which was held September 9-12, 2012 at Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Lake Lodge, Moran, Wyoming, USA. Previous conferences in this series were held in 1973, 1975, 1980, 1989, 1994, 2002, and 2008, where the venue for the last six conferences has been Jackson Lake Lodge. These conferences have been the premier topical meetings on hydrogen effects in materials, as demonstrated by past attendance, and extensive citations of the conference proceedings in technical literature. The continuation of this conference...

Many modern energy systems are reliant on the production, transportation, storage, and use of gaseous hydrogen. The safety, durability, performance and economic operation of these systems is challenged by operating-cycle dependent degradation by hydrogen of otherwise high performance materials. This important two-volume work provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the latest research into managing hydrogen embrittlement in energy technologies.

Volume 1 is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an overview of the hydrogen embrittlement problem in specific...
