Matt Haslett
“Mechanical testing of metals in H2S and H2 environments”

Abstract: Hydrogen containing environments can have a major degrading effect on material properties (such as fracture toughness and fatigue resistance), due to the ingress of hydrogen atoms. TWI Limited have a long history of conducting cutting-edge mechanical testing and associated research and development of metals in these aggressive environments. There is very little standardisation and guidance available for conducting tests in these environments, which makes conducting tests and interpreting results challenging, with the added critical consideration of maintaining health and safety standards.

Biography: Matt is the Team Leader for Environmental Testing in the Fatigue and Fracture Integrity Management Section at TWI, with experience in mechanical and structural engineering. His main areas of expertise lie in fracture toughness testing, mechanical testing, Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA), full-scale testing and bespoke mechanical testing. Matthew also organises TWI’s training course on Structural Integrity Assessment to BS 7910 and lectures on the Design and Construction module of the EWF/IIW Welding Diploma.

Qualifications: MBA CEng MIMechE FWeldI IWE
