Designing nanoprecipitates as static hydrogen traps is a widely used strategy to mitigate hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in high-strength steels, yet increasing trapping capacity alone may not ensure resistance under dynamic loading. Here, the effect of Cu-rich precipitate evolution (B2 → BCC/9 R → FCC) on HE in low-a...
Hydrogen interactions with microstructural defects play a critical role in hydrogen-induced degradation of austenitic stainless steels, yet a quantitative description of hydrogen solubility across defects of different dimensionalities remains limited. This work combines a machine learning interatomic potential with gra...

Understanding atomic transport mechanisms in lightweight refractory high-entropy alloys (LW-RHEAs) is essential for predicting their long-term high-temperature stability and service performance. Although diffusion in high-entropy alloys has been widely investigated, the individual contributions of bulk and grain-boun...

Nuclear fusion structural materials in critical components like blanket and first-wall are subjected to intense helium (He) generation, causing severe microstructural degradation that limits operational lifetime. Nanocrystalline microstructures have emerged as a promising route toward healing displacement damage. Howev...

Ensuring the integrity of hydrogen-blended natural gas (HBNG) infrastructure is pivotal for the sustainable hydrogen energy landscape, yet the surface interactions governing hydrogen embrittlement remain a critical challenge. This study presents a multiscale quantitative characterization of the film structure and hydro...
Zirconium and its alloys are widely used in nuclear applications due to their low neutron absorption, corrosion resistance, and favorable mechanical properties. However, hydrogen uptake and irradiation-induced defects (vacancies and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs)) can significantly degrade performance. In this work, mo...
