As hydrogen continues to increase in popularity, a particular focus is finding valves and components that are tough enough to stand up to hydrogen. By affecting the electrochemical kinetics of certain metals, hydrogen can cause pitting and acceleration of the rate of inter-granular corrosion of high-strength steels, titanium alloys and aluminum alloys, which are the most vulnerable metals. Additionally, the interaction of hydrogen and stress can result in escalated stress-corrosion cracking susceptibility of steel, particularly in welded joints.

Hydrogen is the most common chemical element in the universe, and is rapidly becoming more and more important in the sustainable energy supply. This increased demand, coupled with the stringent requirements for conversion and use, makes quality, safety and security of the utmost importance. Herose’s high-performance FullX hydrogen valves are the standout in the industry across the full range of hydrogen applications:
