The use of renewable hydrogen has numerous benefits and applications in the metallurgy industry. Hydrogen serves as a reducing agent in iron and steel production, enabling the production of high-quality metals while reducing the carbon footprint.
Hydrogen can enhance material properties through metal annealing processes, improving strength, ductility, and formability. In metal heat treatment, hydrogen acts as a reductive atmosphere, preventing oxidation and contamination for superior surface quality.
