Hydrogen 2026: Technological Challenges in Metallic Materials
In light of the rapid growth of the hydrogen industry, A3TS is organizing a two-day event on October 7 and 8, 2026, at the Maison de la Mécanique (Courbevoie), dedicated to the technological challenges of metallic materials. Join academic and industry experts to explore the mechanisms of durability and embrittlement, as well as innovations in heat and surface treatments that ensure the reliability of your technological choices.
A cornerstone of the energy transition, hydrogen is also a silent threat to metal structures: its high diffusivity and instability in its atomic state cause brittle fractures and loss of structural integrity.
Understanding, measuring, and anticipating these phenomena is the very purpose of this conference.
Why participate in the Hydrogen 2026 event?
You will participate in:
2 days of technical discussions with experts in the field
More than 20 scientific and technological conferences
A poster area
A space dedicated to commercial exchanges
