H2FORM3G

On July 2, the H2FORM3G project, led by Eurecat, held the first general assembly at University of Pisa, in Italy. During the meeting, partners reviewed the actions carried out during the project's first twelve months, such as studies on the effect of hydrogen on the microstructure of steels and mechanical characterization aimed at understanding [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
