Hydrogen Exposure Testing and Supporting Services
At Lucideon, we continue to lead the way in providing advanced materials development services, supporting industries as they transition to sustainable and hydrogen-based technologies.
In addition to our hydrogen-fired kilns, we now offer expanded testing and analysis capabilities to ensure your products can withstand exposure to hydrogen and other gaseous environments.
Assessing hydrogen suitability
As the global push towards greener energy intensifies, the use of hydrogen as a fuel source presents unique challenges for materials and products. Our testing services ensure your components are ready for hydrogen exposure, identifying potential impacts and recommending adjustments to materials or processes for a smooth transition to using hydrogen as a fuel.
Comprehensive material exposure testing and analysis
Our state-of-the-art tube furnace provides a versatile platform for simulating material exposure up to 100% hydrogen and other gases, including carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen. Testing is conducted at ambient or elevated temperatures, allowing us to evaluate your product's performance under a wide range of conditions.
Key capabilities include:
- Hydrogen (H2) atmosphere testing: evaluating material behavior in pure hydrogen environments
- Gas variety exposure: testing materials in carbon monoxide, nitrogen, and mixed gas atmospheres (new gas streams are being introduced all the time)
- Temperature flexibility: conducting tests at both ambient and elevated temperatures to assess performance under realistic conditions
- Suitability assessments: identifying the necessary modifications to materials, coatings, or manufacturing processes for compatibility with hydrogen
