Hydrogen can permeate into containment materials and activate hydrogen embrittlement Mobility of H at ambient temperature distinguishes it from other embrittlement species (e.g. San Marchi Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore CA, USA 6th International Conference on Hydrogen Safety (ICHS 2015) Yokohama, Japan OctoSandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000 Enhancing Safety of Hydrogen Containment Components Through Materials Testing Under In-Service Conditions B.P.
