Sup3rForm holds its General Assembly at ALBA Synchrotron
The Sup3rForm project, coordinated by Eurecat, reviewed its progress at a General Assembly held at the ALBA Synchrotron. Its research into advanced high-strength steels has demonstrated the potential to reduce automotive component weight without compromising crash safety.
The RFCS European project Sup3rForm, coordinated by Eurecat, has held its General Assembly at the ALBA Synchrotron facilities. The meeting provided an opportunity to review the progress achieved so far and discuss the next steps towards the project’s completion in December 2026.
Throughout the project, Sup3rForm has advanced research into and the application of third-generation advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), with a particular focus on Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) and medium-Mn steels. The aim is to develop lighter and safer automotive components by exploiting the potential of these advanced materials.
Among the project’s main achievements, the solutions developed have demonstrated the potential to reduce the weight of automotive components without compromising crash safety. These advances could help reduce material consumption and CO₂ emissions in the automotive industry.
As the project approaches its conclusion, the consortium is focusing on consolidating the results achieved and paving the way for their transfer to industrial applications.
Sup3rForm brings together eight European partners covering the automotive industry’s value chain and research expertise: Eurecat, ALBA Synchrotron (ALBA-CELLS), voestalpine Stahl, ArcelorMittal, Centro Ricerche Fiat, MA, Luleå University of Technology and Aalto University.
