Interaction between hydrogen gas and metals. Coordinates large projects with Swedish steel and H2 enduser companies. Interested in a proposal on H2 use
Swerim, a non-profit metal research institute, offers industry-relevant research connected to metal production and use. Swerim is the coordinator of the Vinnova project HYMECH II (2022-01587) and has extensive experience in industrial and research projects on hydrogen embrittlement, including the Vinnova projects HySteel (2016-02018), HYTRANS (2019-02940), HYTOOLBOX (2020-03115) and HyMech (2021-01927). Swerim has a well-equipped H2 laboratory, including the only test facility in Sweden for mechanical testing in H2, and a large network of industrial partners. Swerim has experience in coordinating large EU projects with numerous partners.
Nuria Fuertes is a Specialist and Research Coordinator at Swerim, the Swedish Institute for Metal Research in Stockholm, where she focuses on the interaction between hydrogen gas and metals. She leads major projects involving steel manufacturers and end-users from the automotive, hydrogen storage and transport, and process industry, aiming to investigate the impact of hydrogen gas on material degradation. Prior to this role, Nuria was the manager of research group dedicated to studying corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement at Swerim. She holds a PhD in corrosion of stainless steels from KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
