This capability involves the exposure of advanced production or storage alloys to hydrogen atmospheres along with extended analysis capabilities on physical and microstructural evolution along with mechanical performance. As a hydrogen-specific capability in the INL Environmental Effects Laboratory, the suite of capabilities includes controlled exposure to flowing pure hydrogen at varying temperatures and mechanical testing in a vacuum environment. This work has extended to the establishment of capabilities in characterization to preclude exposure of specimens to reactive environments through bulk electropolishing and specimen transfer via portable glove box systems for detailed electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) analyses, which are highly dependent upon specimen surface quality. Prescreening of candidate alloys for the production process that will be exposed the harsh hydrogen-rich environment at elevated temperatures could be carried out using this suite of property/performance equipment that was designed for studies involving hydriding of nuclear fuel cladding.
