Steel For nExt generATion H2 cylindERs

New metallurgical concepts will be investigated on laboratory scale for flat, billet as well as tube process routes and tested on their resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen-microstructure interactions, fracture toughness and fatigue under high pressure H2.

In an upscaling exercise, in-use properties will be tested on first batches of prototype pressure vessels.

A coherency check and gap analysis (including FEM*), between lab and prototype results will validate FEATHER’s approach.
