Symposium for AUSTRONG

A dedicated symposium was created within the frame of the MSE Congress 2024:

“Recent Development in Metallic Materials for Sustainable Hydrogen Energy.”

The symposium was held on 25th and 26th September 2024 and consisted of 23 presentations, divided into 6 sessions over 2 full days.

The symposium was well attended with participation at around 30-50 people in most of the sessions. Effective dissemination of AUSTRONG results was achieved via the 2 presentations presented:

  1. Ali Smith, Frank Hoffmann, Marta Muratori, and Mahesh Somani, “Austenitic Stainless Steels for LH2 storage applications: Role of TMCP on strength and impact toughness”.
  2. Ahmed W. Abdelghany, Sumit Ghosh, Ali Smith, Frank Hoffmann, Marta Muratori, and Mahesh Somani, “Influence of composition on the constitutive flow behaviour of austenitic stainless steels under development for LH2 storage applications”.
