Flavien Vucko

Global Scientific Leader at the French Corrosion Institute, part of the Corrosion department of RISE. Responsible of research activities related to mechanics/corrosion interactions, including stress corrosion cracking, fatigue-corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement. Leader of research projects in France and in Sweden in various fields including automotive, aerospace and energy sectors.
Main fields of research:
- Hydrogen embrittlement of High Strength Steels under atmospheric corrosion conditions
- Impact of hydrogen charging on the mechanical properties and fatigue performance of corrosion resistant alloys
- Fatigue-corrosion of structural alloys (steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys,...) and assemblies under atmospheric corrosion conditions
- Corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement of high strength steels in marine environments
- Corrosion of materials for hydrogen production applications
- Properties of hydrogen in metals and hydrogen embrittlement under gaseous hydrogen condition
