Cases

Razor blade

Improved steel for razor blades

Improved strip steel characteristics for razor blade applications.

Better quality of life for stoma patients

Ostomycure has created a new implant that makes everyday living easier for many stoma patients.

Hot steel

Laser detects cracks in steel

Cracks in steel are normally detected late during casting and the defective steel must then be either scrapped or repaired.

Produktion av solcellskisel

Creating Super-Pure Solar Cell Silicon

Elkem and Swerim partnered up to develop the solar cell silicon manufacturing process.

Elfordon, laddar

New possibilities with graphene in electric vehicles

Compared with purely metallic materials, the properties of metal composites reinforced with graphene are significantly improved.

Masugn

New operating mode saved 6.5 million SEK

A change in hot stoves’ operating mode has resulted in a reduction in coke consumption in the blast furnace at SSAB.

Kall vinterdag i Luleå

Lower prices on cold winter days

Swerim is helping to gain an overall understanding of the district heating system in Luleå from a broad perspective.

Heat treatment

Better temperature control during heat treatment

Precise temperature control is vital during heat treatment of steel.

New patent-pending welding technology for tailored blanks

New technology for manufacturing tailored blanks reduces costs for vehicle manufacturing.

Innovative Use of Lime for Slag Control in LD

Slag has multiple purposes in LD including protecting the refractory lining and removing impurities such as sulphur and phosphorus fro

Study reveals cause of increased dusting from slag handling

Swerim and SSAB have studied the cause of increased dusting during 2013, as compared to previous years.

Konstruktion av raketmotor för grönt raketbränsle.

Green rocket engines in space

For the past 10 years Swerim has helped the aerospace company ECAPS with analysing welded and soldered joints to further develop their

Simulation improves materials development in the steel industry

Development of new materials in the steel industry is costly and time-consuming.
