Hydrogen infrastructure, for instance, such as hydrogen stations, supply chain network, is important in society of hydrogen economy. Special alloy are frequently used to prevent the hydrogen embrittlement in hydrogen vehicles, semiconductor factories and so on. Because special alloy including Monel material has high strength and high hardness, it is known as the hard-to-cut or roll material. This paper aims to investigate the characteristics and safety on bearing and shaft, which consist of key parts of rolling unit, through structural analysis. As the results, it showed that the bearing was weaker than shaft. Further the bearing was safe up to 20.4 ton, which was about 2 times of maximum of roller reaction force in case of considering as static load. However, the bearing was safe up to 10.2 ton in case of considering as repeated load.

Hydrogen gas is usually used in many industrial facilities, for instance, such as semiconductor, vehicle and gas station. Because hydrogen embrittlement leads to the big damages in bolts, nut, especially, high pressure valves with common materials, therefore, special alloy including Monel material is recommended to reduce the hydrogen embrittlement. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of Monel within elastic limit through numerical analysis when Monel is drawn by drawing system. As the results, it showed that safety factor was decreased, but deformation and stress was increased, when the number of pass was increased. Furthermore, the method for designating work hardening in numerical simulation was needed to achieve the exact solution in this study.
