Engineering Materials
Our subject deals with both basic research and applied research in a number of areas in engineering materials. We have chosen to focus on three main areas in particular, material design, sustainable material development and powder technology.
We also carry out commissioned research within the academy and on behalf of companies. Through measurements with our advanced equipment and analysis of the results, we can help you with your research questions.
Today, the research subject Engineering Materials has about 25 employees, of which 6 are doctoral students and 6 postdocs. In addition, 2 adjunct professors with external employment are linked to the subject.
Material design
In the field of material design, we examine and estimate the properties of materials according to the manufacturing methods that have been used. The goal is to be able to set the final properties of a
Sustainable Materials
To meet society's demands for sustainable development, new materials and processes must be developed to meet the technical challenges of the future.
Powder technology
We characterize, manufacture and develop powders to manufacture new materials.
SEK 52 million to materials labs for green transition
Nearly SEK 3 billion will be invested in research at these universities during the next ten years, and will play a very important role for basic research as well as for the Swedish manufacturing indus
