Hydrogen Wear: A serious challenge for global industries – and how a revolutionary new lubricant can prevent it
Author: Michael Matthews
While most industries focus on traditional wear mechanisms like adhesive, abrasive, corrosive, and surface-fatigue, hydrogen wear is silently causing premature damage to machine components across the globe.
Hydrogen, the most abundant element in nature, has been identified as a significant contributor to the degradation of industrial parts, particularly in environments with metal-to-metal contact. This white paper, “Hydrogen Wear: A serious challenge for global industries – and how a revolutionary new lubricant can prevent it,” delves deep into the science behind hydrogen wear, its impact on industries like wind energy, and the groundbreaking solution offered by NEOL’s copper filming lubricant technology.
Drawing on decades of research, this report not only explains the hydrogen wear phenomenon but also introduces a cutting-edge lubricant that not only protects against this wear but enhances the lifespan and efficiency of industrial machinery. As the world shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, the ability of NEOL’s lubricant to counteract hydrogen wear could play a pivotal role in future technologies.
