New maintenance model increases productivity in mines

2020-08-12 The harsh working environment in the mines wears heavily on materials and machinery with high maintenance costs as a result. Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have in the Harshwork project...

Safer road barriers with high strength steels

2017-09-13 By switching to high strength steels in road barriers, safety can be even better, while a smaller amount of steel needs to be used in the thinner beams. The results are presented in a three-year EU pr...

10 000 °C in a second

2017-02-23 Gleeble 3800 is a state-of-the-art equipment installed in the materials lab at Luleå University of Technology. It will be used for thermal-mechanical materials testing and simulations. For example, th...

Better model gives fewer crash tests

2016-12-13 Fewer crash tests and a reduced need for material testing. Those are benefits that improved computational models can provide in terms of production of press-hardened steel parts for cars. The results ...

3D microtomography offers new opportunities

2016-09-05 X-ray pictures of materials in 3D in a hundred times better resolution than before, which also can be done under load and under different temperatures. That is possible thanks to the new, state of the...
