The knowledge generated can be leveraged to optimise the development of new high-performance metals and apply them to the design of high added-value products, especially valuable for weight reduction and safety in vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurecat has led the development of new experimental approaches to characterise high-strength materials based on fracture mechanics which have enabled us to better understand the impact behaviour and formability of new materials for lightweight vehicle construction,\u201d says Daniel Casellas, Eurecat\u2019s scientific director. \u201cNow we can bring the transport industry fast and efficient solutions tailored to sheet metal component production processes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by researchers and businesses that have embraced new techniques to enhance the development and implementation of high performance steels such as SSAB Europe, Forvia Faurecia, Benteler Group, MW Italia, Stellantis, SEAT S.A. and ArcelorMittal Maizi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n<p>The ToughSteel project \u201chas researched and promoted using fracture toughness as a key property to address cracking problems in forming advanced high-strength steels, thus optimising material selection, preventing production losses and shortening time to market for sheet metal products,\u201d notes David Fr\u00f3meta, project coordinator and head of the Mechanical Behaviour Line in Eurecat\u2019s Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Crystal \u201chas developed new experimental tools and methodologies to predict the service life of automotive parts made of high-strength steels vis-\u00e0-vis hydrogen embrittlement,\u201d explains Silvia Molas, project coordinator and head of the Corrosion and Degradation Line in Eurecat\u2019s Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit. Absorption of hydrogen in the material \u201cdirectly impacts its mechanical properties, significantly reducing them and making the manufactured component more sensitive to fracture. Now we can furnish the industry with tools to determine the threshold hydrogen content and mitigate its associated risk, making it possible to manufacture safer automotive components.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe MiPre project is a crucial step forward in microstructural modelling of complex steels,\u201d says Jaume Pujante, head of the New Processes for Advanced Materials Line in the Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit. \u201cIn the project we have been able to build a model that allows us to generate more accurate predictions of the final behaviour of the material applied to a process, hot stamping, which is highly adaptable in heat treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event wrapped up with a visit to the laboratories specialising in research and advanced characterisation of metals at Eurecat Manresa.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":137737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2296,426,743],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automotive","category-metallic-ceramic-materials","category-press-notes-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
