How reactive is a proton? Could you have a "gas" or something of protons confined to small pipes without them reacting heavily with the material?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the reactivity of protons, specifically in the context of confining them in small pipes without significant interaction with the material. It is established that high temperatures are necessary to maintain a state where protons can exist as a gas, likely forming a plasma state. The corrosive nature of ionized hydrogen, or protons, is highlighted, particularly its role in hydrogen embrittlement, which causes metals to become brittle and fracture upon exposure.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of plasma physics
- Knowledge of hydrogen embrittlement
- Familiarity with high-temperature gas dynamics
- Basic principles of proton behavior in confined spaces
- Research the properties of plasma states in hydrogen
- Study the mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement in various metals
- Explore high-temperature containment methods for reactive gases
- Investigate the behavior of protons in confined environments
Researchers in plasma physics, materials scientists, and engineers working with hydrogen systems will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focused on the challenges of gas confinement and material integrity in high-reactivity environments.
