Tuhin Das represented OCAS NV (ArcelorMittal Global R&D Ghent) and the FEATHER project consortium at the 4th International Conference & Expo of the AMPP Italy Chapter, held in Genova, Italy, from 9–12 June 2026.
Tuhin Das’s talk addressed the interaction between hydrogen and microstructure, based on gas and electrochemical permeation testing of flat and long steel products developed within the project. These findings were presented alongside mechanical test results obtained under high-pressure hydrogen conditions, contributing to advanced screening methods that support the performance and safety of high-strength steels for hydrogen applications.
