Conclusion
Additive manufacturing is changing how hydrogen valves are designed and made . It allows for new materials , designs , and manufacturing methods that solve many problems in making valves for hydrogen . The case study provided shows how AM helps create better , longer-lasting and more affordable hydrogen valves . As more industries start using hydrogen for energy , additive manufacturing will become more important for making safe and reliable valves .
cost of ownership decreased by 25 % due to reduced maintenance and replacement needs ( O ’ Connell & Murphy , 2023 ).
• Environmental impact : The transition to AM reduced material waste by 30 %, contributing to the company ’ s sustainability goals ( Fernandez & Ruiz , 2022 ).
Applications in various industries
Additive manufacturing is playing a pivotal role in advancing hydrogen valve technologies across multiple industries . In the energy sector , AM is used to produce valves that are integral to hydrogen production , storage and distribution systems , where safety and reliability are paramount ( Patel & Desai , 2023 ). The automotive industry benefits from lighter , stronger valves in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles , contributing to overall vehicle efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions ( Singh & Gupta , 2023 ). In the chemical processing industry ,
