Hydrogen as a promising alternative energy source that is forecasted to potentially transform future power generation toward new-zero. However, its widespread adoption has proven challenging owing to difficulties around storage, transportation, and usage due to catastrophic failures i.e. hydrogen embrittlement (HE). This is particularly severe for high-strength structural steel that must be designed against fatal fractures; it is also relevant to parts that are not designed for hydrogen exposure due to the prevention of accidental spill or leakage.

A unique coating strategy composed of dual-purpose coating is developed as a potential solution for hydrogen embrittlement prevention in metals. This is achieved by extreme high-speed laser application (EHLA) which can introduce thin layers of mechanically sound metallic coating on metal substrates without inducing fusion zones. The coating strategy consists of a top coat and a bond coat on top of the substrate. The top coat acts as a hydrogen permeation barrier aiming to stop hydrogen from diffusing into the substrate. The underlying bond coat has a high hydrogen solubility aiming to capture and retain any remaining hydrogen that might have diffused through the top coat. Metallographic examination such as scanning electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction are used to characterize coating integrity. General insights in improving coating quality with processing and materials selections are discussed for future scalable applications.

Hydrogen embrittlement is a process that results in a decrease of the ductility of metals as a result of absorbed hydrogen. Advanced high-strength steels used in the automotive industry are materials that are considered prone to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen can enter the material during steelmaking or processing steps, such as pickling, cleaning, phosphating, and electroplating.

Time-tested and proven methods to control corrosion of oil and gas industry infrastructures (pipelines, facilities, and refineries) include the use of appropriate materials, protective coatings, cathodic protection (CP), and corrosion inhibitors.


Criteria for evaluation, qualification, and selection of materials, coatings and application of CP are
quantitative and are typically followed rigorously (Table 1). Standards on these quantitative criteria are established, and in many cases have been adopted by regulatory authorities.

The process of digitalization is widely regarded as one of the last remaining cost-efficiency levers left following a sustained period of pressure to reduce operating costs and enhance efficiency. A new digital platform for seamlessly integrating Corrosion and Chemical Management (CCM) program with online real time monitoring is discussed in this article, refer Figure 1. The key objective is to establish full integration of real-time corrosion data with various parameters related to corrosion control.
