Disclosed is a method for detecting hydrogen in steel. According to the method, hydrogen contained in steel is transferred into and preferably concentrated in at least one second material. Representative second materials include metals such as vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and their alloys. Upon transfer to the second material, the hydrogen is detected and preferably quantitatively determined. The data obtained with the method enables conclusions to be drawn about the presence of hydrogen in steel. Preferably, the concentration of hydrogen in steel is quantitatively determined from information obtained about the presence of hydrogen in the second material.

1. A method for detecting hydrogen comprising: providing a first sample of a first material, said first material comprising steel and including a first concentration of hydrogen;transferring a portion of said hydrogen from said first sample of said first material to a second material, said second material comprising niobium, palladium, tantalum, or vanadium, said transferred hydrogen having a second concentration in said second material; anddetecting the presence of said transferred hydrogen in said second material. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting of said hydrogen in said second material includes an X-ray diffraction measurement. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting of said hydrogen in said second material includes an electrochemical measurement. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting of said hydrogen in said second material includes a measurement of electrical resistivity. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting of said hydrogen includes measuring the amount per unit area of said hydrogen absorbed by said second material as a function of time. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: providing a second sample of said first material; andtransferring a second portion of said hydrogen from said second sample of said first material to a third material. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising detecting the presence of said hydrogen in said third material. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising calculating the binding strength of said hydrogen in said first material, said calculating combining a result from said detecting the presence of said hydrogen in said second material and a result from said detecting said hydrogen in said third material. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said transferring includes contacting said second material with said first sample of said first material. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said portion of said hydrogen is transferred from said first sample of said first material into said second material by diffusion. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein said transfer of said portion of said hydrogen from said first sample of said first material into said second material is achieved by applying an electric field. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein said second material is contacted in an elongated form with said first sample of said first material. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein said elongated form is a ribbon, bolt or wire. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein said second material is contacted with said first sample of said first material by welding. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein said welding is friction welding. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein said welding is thermal welding. 17. The method of claim 9, wherein said contacting comprises depositing said second material as a layer on said first sample of said first material. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said layer of said second material is less than 1 μm thick. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein said layer of the said second material is less than 250 nm thick. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein said layer of said second material is in between 10 and 100 nm thick. 21. The method of claim 17, wherein said layer of said second material is deposited by a CVD technique. 22. The method of claim 17, wherein said layer of said second material is deposited by a PVD technique. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting includes measuring said second concentration. 24. The method of claim 1, wherein said transfer occurs until the concentration of said hydrogen in said second material is higher than the initial concentration of said hydrogen in said first sample of said first material. 25. The method of claim 1, further comprising calculating said first concentration, said calculating utilizing a result obtained from said detecting said hydrogen in said second material. 26. The method of claim 1, wherein said first sample of said first material is incorporated in an object, said object including a third material. 27. The method of claim 1, wherein said second material has an elongated shape.
