On November 7, 2024, Jaume Pujante, coordinator of the COOPHS project and head of the Line of New Processes for Advanced Materials at Eurecat’s Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit, presented the COOPHS project’s main objectives and expected research outcomes during the CiSMA project Kick-off Meeting. The event, hosted at Eurecat’s facilities in Manresa, brought together CiSMA project partners to detail the work to be done and plan the first months of project’s execution.
The meeting included a showcase of several components developed within related projects, including the SALEMA project, which focused on recycled aluminum applications. As part of the COOPHS project, a B-PILLAR demonstrator was featured. This critical component of the automotive industry exemplifies the potential of hot-stamped Boron Steel made from post-consumer steel scrap.
The CiSMA project, launched under Horizon Europe, focuses on exploring the implications of steel recycling, particularly high-strength steels and high-formability alloys. Its objective is to advance the development of mass-market products made from scrap-based steel using Electric Arc Furnace technology, catering to the growing demand for sustainable solutions in the automotive and consumer goods industries.
