Use of Higher Strength Steel in Tubular Tower for Wind Turbines

The main topic of Christine’s research is use of higher steel grades in tubular towers used for wind turbines.

BASMI - Bothnian Arc Steel & Metal Industry

Project develops the metal industry connected companies of the Bothnian Arc (Finland-Sweden) to apply opportunities of the large local projects (such as mining and energy industry) and globalisation of the market in the future

Machine Elements

High temperature tribologi of a thermo-mechanical forming of ultra high-strength steel.

Engineering Materials

Abrasion and fatigue properties of nano-structured silicon-alloy steel.

Redesign of Snowmobile frame

The project is implemented in collaboration with Norrlands Teknikcenter AB (NTC)

The company has seen improvement potential in one of their existing products. There is a wish for an updated and improved design solution for a front end of a snow mobile. Current design of the front end has limitations when exposes to extreme usage. A new design solution structure will be designed with the help of modeling and simulation tools.

Analysis of friction welding

Tribological investigations of hot-formning tools

Welding of high strength steel with pre-and post-heating techniques

SSAB is a global leader in value added, high strength steel. SSAB offers products developed in close cooperation with its customers to reach a stronger, lighter and more sustainable world.

Investigation of wear mechanisms

Olofsfors works in developing, manufacturing and sales within two different business areas, tracks for forestry machines and wear steel for construction machines. Most of the products are in hardened boron steel.

Fatigue testing of exchangeable rails

Industrial project with Rerail AB
- Fatigue testing of mount on rail

Rail to one hundred kilometres of railroad weighs about twelve thousand tons and the production of the same produces approximately twenty-four thousand tons of carbon dioxide. From a global perspective, the environmental benefits enormous.


Project Concept
To increase rail fatigue strength has a number of design changes been proposed. The project aims to clarify what impact the various changes has on fatigue resistance.
