Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials in Germany, along with partners from China and Japan, have developed a new alloy design strategy to enhance the strength and resistance of aluminum alloys in the hydrogen economy. By incorporating scandium into the alloys, they achieved a 40% increase in strength and a five-fold improvement in resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. The dual nanoprecipitates created through a complex precipitation strategy trap hydrogen and boost strength, overcoming the typical trade-off between high strength and hydrogen resistance. This breakthrough enables the production of aluminum components with both exceptional strength and superior resistance to embrittlement, essential for applications in a low-carbon economy. The material also demonstrates excellent ductility under hydrogen exposure, indicating its reliability in various hydrogen-related technologies. The research, published in Nature, showcases the scalability and industrial applicability of the new alloy design. Through water-cooled copper mould casting and thermomechanical processing methods aligning with industrial standards, the researchers have shown the feasibility of producing these advanced aluminum alloys on a larger scale. The study not only highlights the innovative approach to alloy design but also emphasizes the potential for a new generation of aluminum materials tailored for the demands of a hydrogen-powered future - safe, strong, and suitable for industrial implementation. The collaboration between researchers from different institutes further strengthens the credibility and applicability of the findings, paving the way for broader adoption of these enhanced aluminum alloys in the evolving hydrogen economy.
