H2FORM3G was presented during a workshop on fracture toughness in advanced high-strength steels held at the Spanish National Center for Metallurgical Research – CENIM facilities in Madrid, on 24th January 2025. Eurecat’s Head of Mechanical Behaviour, David Frómeta, introduced H2FORM3G together with other research projects coordinated by Eurecat using fracture toughness as a material [...]
On November 16, 2024, the ALBA Synchrotron opened again its doors to the public for its annual Open Day, an event that has been opening up science to the society since 2012. The 2024 edition included ten interactive demonstrations and experiments, providing visitors with insights into research projects carried out in ALBA Synchrotron and [...]
The European project H2FORM3G, coordinated by Eurecat Technology Centre, is studying the effect of hydrogen in the manufacturing of third-generation advanced high-strength steel components for its implementation in the design of lightweight vehicles. It is well known that the use of high-strength steels allows for a weight reduction in vehicles by 10-20% due to [...]
The H2FORM3G project has kicked off. Project partners have met in Manresa (Spain) on July 10th 2024, aiming to prevent the risk of cracking and delayed fracture of 3rd generation advanced high strength steels (AHSS) to ensure their safe implementation in the automotive sector. During the meeting, which was assisted by a representative of the RFCS [...]
Eurecat organised a meeting with representatives from the Cluster of the Automotive Industry of Catalonia (CIAC) at the facilities of the centre in Manresa (Spain) on July 10th, 2024. The purpose of the meeting was to demonstrate the efforts made by Eurecat to promote R+D+I projects, laboratories, materials and manufacturing processes to make the [...]
