Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Pipelines represent the most economical and efficient means for transporting hydrogen in large volumes across vast distances, contributing to accelerated realization of hydrogen economy. Nowadays, the development of hydrogen pipeline projects, including repurposing existing pipelines for hydrogen service, has become a global interest, especially in those major energy-producing and energy-consuming countries. However, steel pipelines are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in high-pressure hydrogen gas environments, potentially leading to pipeline failures. In this review, we establish a comprehensive knowledge base for comprehending, testing, and evaluating the gaseous HE in pipelines by a thorough examination of relevant research work. In addition to an overview of some major hydrogen pipeline projects in the world, the article consists of four integral parts essential to gaseous HE studies, namely, methods for exposure of steels to high-pressure hydrogen gas; measurements of the quantity of H atoms inside the steels; stress-strain behavior of pipeline steels under high-pressure hydrogen gas exposure; and fracture and fatigue testing of pre-cracked steels within gaseous environments. Further research into gaseous HE in pipelines focuses on developing standardized, quantitative, and consistent methods to assess and define the susceptibility of pipelines to gaseous HE. • Examined the testing methods for hydrogen atom entry into steels in gaseous environments. • Reviewed the mechanical properties and fracture/fatigue behavior of steels under exposure to hydrogen gas. • Analyzed the gaps in gaseous hydrogen embrittlement problem. • Proposed methods for further research in gaseous hydrogen embrittlement.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
