CATEC and The Lean Hydrogen Company are developing this new R&D initiative, the main objective of which is to design and validate a test bed for electrochemical hydrogen compression in order to conclude the experimental phase of this technology and move towards its commercial production.
CATEC has been a partner in this innovative project under the Horizon Europe programme and has led the development of additive manufacturing for aerospace components using PBF-L/M on Scalmalloy® test specimens and demonstrators. Furthermore, it has assessed the potential impact of laser treatments on the material through tests on specimens, such as tensile, fatigue and residual stress tests.
Our technology center has received this award, presented annually by the Advanced Manufacturing trade fair, for the development of the HTSMART project, focused on the design, prototyping, and validation of high-temperature superconducting magnets for ultra-compact fusion reactors.
