CRYSTAL-based research on hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity is presented in a steelTalks lecture

David Frómeta, Researcher of the Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit from Eurecat, has presented results on hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity tests part of the CRYSTAL project research during an edition of the series of lectures steelTalks. The event was organised by steeluniversity, the learning and training programme of the World Steel Association (WSA), and the Spanish Steelmaking Association (UNESID) on January 18th, 2023.

This lecture, entitled “Fracture toughness to address the safe implementation of high-performance sheet steel products”, discussed the importance of implementing new fracture mechanics-based criteria to understand the cracking behaviour and in-service performance of high strength sheet materials.

The event was hosted by Scott Chubbs, Deputy Director General at WSA; and participated by Santiago Oliver, Sustainability, Energy, and Innovation Director at UNESID; Daniel Casellas, Scientific Director at Eurecat, and Javier López-Quiles, Project Manager at the Spanish Association for Standardisation (UNE).

The CRYSTAL project aims to reduce the hydrogen embrittlement risk in high-strength steel parts for the automotive industry, one of the sectors where AHSS are key for the lightweight design of structural components.
