Determining the mechanical properties of materials intended for use in the fuel cell stacks, storage tanks and exhaust systems of hydrogen-powered vehicles can require testing in high-temperature, cryogenic or high-pressure environments. To choose the best options for HFCV applications, it is important to understand the effects of potential corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement on these materials.
HFCV Materials: MTS Applications Engineer, Roshni Thomas, reviews challenges found when testing materials for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
