Evaluation of Metal Materials for Hydrogen Fuel Stations

Under government funded project: " Development for Safe Utilization and Infrastructure of Hydrogen" entrusted by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), special material testing equipment with heavy walled pressure vessel under 45MPa gaseous hydrogen is facilitated. Tensile properties, strain controlled, low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue and fatigue crack growth tests on CrMo steel (SCM435 (JIS G 4105)) which will be applied for the storage gas cylinders in Japanese hydrogen fuel stations are investigated. The results of the tensile tests under 45MPa ultra high purity hydrogen gas (O2
