The performance of the new steel in salt water electrolyzer
is comparable to the current industrial practice using
Titanium as structural parts to produce hydrogen from desalted
seawater or acid, while the cost of the new steel is much
cheaper.
. . .
Oh YEA ... did it come from the USA ? Nope. The UK ? Nope.
Germany ? Nope.
CHINA.
In some respects I'd suggest they maybe deserve to own
the century ... except that they're FUCKIN' TOTALITARIANS
and will use their sci-tech advantage to make life HELL
for the rest of the world.
For reference, it's called "SS-H2". Seems to involve
oddly-layered crystals.
Hydrogen can be DOOM for many metals. It works itself
into the crystal structure and makes it brittle and
reactive. Hydrogen embrittlement is a major issue for
all steam apps now ... and also crosses-over into any
apps for producing the gas via electrolytic reactions.
Titanium alloys have been the fix - but titanium is
quite expensive and difficult to work with.
