Helpful in Hydrogen Service

This document discusses materials selection for applications involving hydrogen and high temperatures. It focuses on austenitic stainless steels and their properties. Key points: - Austenitic stainless steels like 304 and 316 can be used up to around 480°C without impact testing if properly heat treated and the minimum design metal temperature is above -20°C. - Elements like chromium, molybdenum, and nickel contribute to creep resistance in these steels above 427°C. - The document discusses corrosion resistance and toughness considerations for materials in hydrogen and petrochemical applications. - Impact testing is not required for pressure vessels under certain thickness and design conditions outlined in the document.
