Project content:

The project focuses on establishing conditions for the safe use of green structural steels without the need to use critical strategic elements. This research focuses on the use of steels from medium strength (S355) to ultra-high strength steels (S960) in European infrastructure. A key aspect is to ensure the reliability of welded joints, especially the heat affected zone (HAZ). One of the key objectives of the project is to develop new environmentally friendly steel alloys made with a higher proportion of recycled material. This poses challenges in welding and mechanical properties, especially in welds where the increased presence of residual elements (e.g. Cu, Ni, Cr) can affect the strength and toughness of the material. The project uses advanced tools such as machine learning and numerical simulations to accurately control microstructure and predict material behaviour during processing.
