In particular, the high costs of hydrogen pressure tanks during production and over their service life are currently hampering the market penetration of hydrogen-powered vehicles. With the final thesis, inline quality control can minimize the occurrence of errors during the manufacturing process and thus reduce the amount of material required per container. In addition, your work can provide you with an understanding of processes and lightweight construction potential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<figure
