Two upcoming measurements are scheduled at the new ID03 beamline at ESRF. In November 2024, a collaborative work with the Technical University of Denmark will focus on dislocation mechanisms and local strain changes. In March 2025, the LGF CNRS and Eötvös Loránd University of Hungary team will study dislocation avalanches.

Our ID11 beamline measurement was successfully carried out during a 4-day experimental run at the ESRF. We are studying the 'Fisheye' formation in hydrogen charged low alloy cast steel containing porosity. The team members were:
S. Kalácska (CR, EMSE, main proposer), A. Borbély (DR, EMSE), P. Saby (PhD Student, EMSE), P.D. Ispánovity (Associate prof., Eötvös University), D. Ugi (postdoc, Eötvös University),
J. Ball (postdoc, ESRF local contact), P.O. Autran (ESRF) ,
H. Fang (ESRF) and J.P. Wright (ESRF) .

The ESRF beamline proposal for ID11 was accepted by the scientific committee. The aim will be to study 'Fisheye' formation in hydrogen charged low alloy cast steel containing porosity using HR-EBSD, micromechanics, 3D diffraction and tomography. The experiments will be performed during 4 days in the beginning of next year.

The COCONUT project is developing an alternative concept for high-level waste storage containers that are resistant to corrosion over very long periods of time. To achieve this, two innovations have been tested for three years: dynamic cold spray technology (cold spray) and the use of an alloy of materials.
