This report describes the production of EURM 800 and EURM 801, stainless steel disks containing a certified value for the massic activity of 60Co. The material was produced following ISO 17034 [1]. The material was produced at a contractor site. After the production the material was shipped to t...
This report reflects the presentations and deliberations during the European conference entitled 'Steel and Coal: a New Perspective', which took place in Brussels on 28 March 20191. Hosted by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), the event gathered 1...
Coal liquids (i.e., coal tar and anthracene oil) were successfully used to prepare graphene materials. Impregnating tars and binder tars with various chemical compositions and various primary quinoline insoluble (QI) content were polymerized and transformed into a pitch, which was subsequently c...
The aim of this research project was the development and installation of online monitoring systems for stirring plugs in steel ladles in order to determine and predict their availability and performance for stirring processes. Temperature measurement techniques were developed and adapted to the ...
This report is the interim evaluation of the SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) in executing the SESAR2020 programme from 2014 to 2016 as required by Article 32(2) of the Council Regulation (EU) No 1291/201 and Article 7 of the Council Regulation (EC) No 219/2007, amended by Regulation (EU) No 721/20...
This is the third report on the use of alternatives to testing in animals by ECHA. The first two reports were published in 2011 and 2014. The report is submitted to the European Commission to fulfil ECHA’s obligation under Article 117(3) of the REACH Regulation. The analysis of the data containe...
This project was directed to high strength boron treated steels. Different processing routes have been addressed: Hot rolling followed by Q&T for plates and strips, direct quenching and subsequent tempering for plates and cold rolled and annealed sheet steels. The aim of this work is obtaining a...
Following the necessary car weight reduction strategy, in order to minimize the fuel consumption and reduce the CO2 emissions, there are many technical approaches to reduce the weight of each one of the vehicle components. The STT project (Steel Tailored Tubes) explored the potential of tube tai...
