Description - Hydrogen in Metal Systems by Frederick A. Lewis
Understanding the behaviour of hydrogen in metals is one of the most pressing research tasks in the physical sciences. The embrittling effect of hydrogen in mild steel was recognized from the very beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, and its effects still plague modern alloys during either fabrication or use. At the same time, the tendency of certain alloys to form stable hydrides in a reversible manners holds out the promise of the safe storage of hyrdogen in behicles and therefore the prospect of non-polluting transport and a true "hydrogen economy". Researchers in this field should therefore welcome the publicaiton of this 2-volume set, "Hydrogen Metal Systems I & II", which presents comprehensive information and critical data concerning ionic and metallic hydrides; all conveniently based upon a periodic-table layout. The new volume, "Hydrogen Metal, System II", complements its predecessor, "Hydrogen in Metal Systems I" by covering groups 6 to 11 of the periodic table. Both volumes constitute an indispensable reference source for any library serving a physical sciences community.
Somewhere within these pages must lie a clue to the ultimate solution of the twin puzzles of hydrogen embrittlement and safe, efficient hydrogen storage.
