The storage of hydrogen in a compressed gaseous form offers the simplest solution in terms of infrastructure requirements and has become the most highly developed hydrogen storage method. Low cost and large vessels for bulk hydrogen storage are needed at central production plants, geologic storage sites, terminals and refueling stations. A multifunctional steel layered vessel (MSLV) for stationary hydrogen storage with maximum design pressure of 98 MPa has been developed. First of all, the basic structure and characteristics of the vessel were introduced. Secondly, the stress in the cylindrical shell of the MSLV was studied based on the ribbon-width-direction effective normal stress and shear stress sub-models. Besides, the stresses in the hemispherical head and reinforcing ring were obtained by combining finite element analysis with experiments in the meantime. Finally, safety of the vessel was evaluated mainly by hydrogen compatibility tests of the weld joints of austenitic stainless steel S31603 under 98MPa gaseous hydrogen according to ANSI/CSA CHMC 1-2014, as well as MSLV’s feature of burst resistant and easy for online safety monitoring. Research shows that hydrogen embrittlement of MSLV was mitigated, because the stress in the inner shell of MSLV is low, and austenitic stainless steel and its weld are well compatible with high pressure hydrogen.

Abstract Large scale storage of hydrogen is one of the key factors in hydrogen energy development. High-pressure hydrogen storage technology is widely used in hydrogen storage. It has advantages of easy operating, quick charge and discharge, simple equipment structure and low cost. The multi-layered steel vessel (MLSV) was developed for stationary hydrogen storage, which was flexible in design, safe in operation and convenient in fabrication. MLSV has been used in several hydrogen refueling stations in China. With the construction of hydrogen refueling stations accelerated, the vessel was required to be larger, lighter and cheaper. First, the basic structure of the MLSV was presented. Second, two light-weight methods were proposed and compared, including reducing the safety factor and increasing the strength of the steel band. Finally, the stress in the cylindrical shell of the MLSV using light-weight design were compared with the previous one. In addition, a MLSV using the light-weight method of reducing safety factor has been designed and fabricated, which can store 211 kg gaseous hydrogen at 50MPa.

Magnetic Characterization

SUS316L austenitic stainless steel was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by the method of high pressure torsion (HPT). From a fully austenitic matrix (γ), HPT resulted in phase transformation from g®a¢. The largest volume fraction of 70% a¢ was obtained at 0.2 revolutions per minute (rpm) while was limited to 3% at 5rpm. Pre-straining of g by HPT at 5rpm decreases the volume fraction of a¢ obtained by HPT at 0.2rpm. By HPT at 5rpm, a¢®g reverse transformation was observed for a¢ produced by HPT at 0.2rpm.

Sour Service

The scarcity of oil and gas resources made High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) reservoir attractive to be developed. The sour service environment gives an additional factor in material selection for HPHT reservoir. Austenitic 28 Cr and super duplex stainless steel 2507 (SS 2507) are proposed to be a potential materials candidate for such conditions. C-ring tests were performed to investigate their corrosion behavior, specifically sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and sulfide stress cracking susceptibility. The C-ring tests were done under 2.55 % H2S (31.48 psia) and 50 % CO2 (617.25 psia). The testing was done in static environment conditions. Regardless of good SSC resistance for both materials, different pitting resistance is seen in both materials. The pitting resistance did not follow the general Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN), since SS 2507 super duplex (PREN > 40) has more pitting density than 28 Cr austenitic stainless steel (PREN < 40). SS 2507 super duplex pit shape tends to be larger but shallower than 28 Cr austenitic stainless steel. 28 Cr austenitic stainless steel has a smaller pit density, yet deeper and isolated.

Fatigue Life Test

A high pressure material testing system (max. pressure: 140 MPa, temperature range: −80 ∼ 90 °C) was developed to investigate the testing method of material compatibility for high pressure gaseous hydrogen. In this study, SSRT and fatigue life test of JIS SUS304 and SUS316 austenitic stainless steel were performed in high pressure gaseous hydrogen at room temperature, −45, and −80 °C. These testing results were compared with those in laboratory air atmosphere at the same test temperature range. The SSRT tests were performed at a strain rate of 5 × 10−5 s−1 in 105 MPa hydrogen gas, and nominal stress-strain curves were obtained. The 0.2% offset yield strength (Ys) did not show remarkable difference between in hydrogen gas and in laboratory air atmosphere for SUS304 and SUS316. Total elongation after fracture (El) in hydrogen gas at −45 and −80 °C were approximately 15 % for SUS304 and 20% for SUS316. In the case of fatigue life tests, a smooth surface round bar test specimen with a diameter of 7 mm was used at a frequency of 1, 0.1, and 0.01 Hz under stress rate of R = −1 (tension-compression) in 100 MPa hydrogen gas. It can be seen that the fatigue life test results of SUS304 and SUS316 showed same tendency. The fatigue limit at room temperature in 100 MPa hydrogen gas was comparable with that in laboratory air. The room temperature fatigue life in high pressure hydrogen gas appeared to be the more severe condition compared to the fatigue life at low temperature. The normalized stress amplitude (σa / Ts) at the fatigue limit was 0.37 to 0.39 for SUS304 and SUS316 austenitic stainless steels, respectively.

Deformed State

SUS 304 austenitic stainless steel was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by the method of high pressure torsion (HPT). From a fully austenitic matrix (γ), HPT resulted in phase transformation to give a two phase structure of austenite (γ) and martensite (α') by the transformation γα'. The phase transformation was accompanied by an increase in hardness (Hv) from 1.6 GPa in the as annealed form to 5.4 GPa in the deformed state. Subsequent annealing in temperature range 250oC to 450oC resulted in an increase in both α' volume fraction and hardness (6.4 GPa). Annealing at 600oC resulted in a decrease in α' volume fraction hardness.

This paper presents results from a programme of through thickness residual stress measurements and finite element analysis (FEA) modelling carried out on a temper bead mock-up. Emphasis is placed on results comparison rather than the measurement technique and procedure, which is well documented in the accompanying references. Temper bead welding processes have been developed to simulate the tempering effect of post-weld heat treatment and are used to repair reactor pressure vessel components to alleviate the need for further heat-treatment. The Temper Bead Mock-up comprised of a rectangular block with dimension 960mm × 189mm × 124mm was manufactured from a ferritic steel forged block with an austenitic stainless steel buttering and a nickel alloy temper bead cladding. The temper bead and buttering surfaces were machined after welding. Biaxial residual stresses were measured at a number of locations using the standard Deep-Hole Drilling (DHD) and Incremental DHD (iDHD) techniques on the Temper Bead Mock-up and compared with FEA modelling results. An excellent correlation existed between the iDHD and the modelled results, and highlighted the need for the iDHD technique in order to account for plastic relaxation during the measurement process. Maximum tensile residual stresses through the thickness were observed near the austenitic stainless steel surface at 298MPa. High compressive stresses were observed within the ferritic base plate beneath the bimetallic interface between austenitic and ferritic steels with peak stresses of −377MPa in the longitudinal direction.

Block Shear

Since stainless steel has significant characteristics such as its superior corrosion resistance, durability, aesthetic appeal etc., it has been utilized as structural members in buildings. Recently, ultimate behaviors and curling influence in austenitic stainless steel single shear bolted connections with thin-walled plane plates have been investigated by T.S. Kim. In this paper, finite element analysis (FEA) has been conducted based on the existing test results of angle bolted connections in fabricated with austenitic stainless steel. The validation of the numerical analysis prediction was verified through the comparison of test results for fracture mode, ultimate strength and curling occurrence. Curling (out-of- plane deformation) also observed in the connections with a long end distance. The curling caused the ultimate strength reduction and the ultimate strength reduction ratios (varied from 12% to 25%) caused by curling have been estimated quantitatively through the comparison of FEA results of FE models with free edge and restrained curling.
