Hydrogen In Metals Application Oriented Properties

Vol. 2.

Hydrogen in Metals III is the fifth book in the series Topics in Applied Physics that discusses properties of metal-hydrogen systems. It considers results of both basic and application-oriented research, focusing on fields where recent progress was significant or where previous comprehensive reviews do not exist. The topics of the new volume are: the theoretical and the experimental status of hydrogen diffusion; nuclear magnetic resonance; neutron scattering; material problems caused by the hydrogen; application of metal hydrides for hydrogen storage and purification, for chemical engines, for hydrogen sensors, and for batteries and fuel cells.

Perspectives in Hydrogen in Metals: Collected Papers on the Effect of Hydrogen on the Properties of Metals and Alloys discusses the advancement in the understanding of the effects of hydrogen on the physical and mechanical properties of metals and alloys. The title first covers solubility and other thermodynamic properties, and then proceeds to tackling diffusivity. Next, the selection discusses the trapping of hydrogen by defects and hydride formation. The text also talks about hydrogen in amorphous metals, along with the effect of hydrogen on plastic deformation. The last chapter covers hydrogen embrittlement. The book will be of great use chemists, metallurgists, and materials engineers.
