Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Alberta
$111,273.00
A high accuracy analyzer for materials containing hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen
EF 2009-10
Résumé
Modern technologies rely on materials that must meet very low levels of hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen. In some occasions these elements are contaminants that must be kept at extremely low levels; in some other cases, very small amounts of these elements act as alloying elements controlling key microstructural aspects. The proposed HNO analyzer will enable world-class research in many established and emerging areas of materials, ranging from fundamental metallurgical issues to hydrogen-based energy materials. Applications include high strength steels for pipelines, shipbuilding, structures, automotive, and mining equipment, stainless steels and high alloys for pressure vessels and petrochemical industry, palladium membranes for hydrogen separation, and hydrogen storage materials for fuel cells.
