New Factsheet "Copper Materials and Hydrogen"

The Copper Association, in collaboration with the Institute of Materials at Ruhr University Bochum, has conducted a comprehensive testing program to examine the impact of hydrogen on various copper alloys. The goal of this study was to determine how hydrogen affects the formability and strength of copper materials.

The results are extremely positive. The tested copper materials absorb only minimal amounts of hydrogen and show no measurable impairment of their mechanical properties. This makes them the perfect candidates for applications involving hydrogen. The key findings and results of this study are summarized in the factsheet:
