Sandvik Materials Technology and KTH developed an experimental setup based on synchrotron X-rays to study the effect of hydrogen on the microstructure of duplex stainless steel. This project has triggered a long-term interest in the opportunities at large-scale synchrotron facilities for the steel industry’s R&D activities.
Cleaner drinking water with neutron scattering techniques
Sweden Water Research AB
Oct 2018 - Aug 2019
Safe and readily available water is vital for public health, whether it is used for drinking, domestic use, food production, or recreational purposes. Sweden Water Research and ESS collaborated to explore how neutron scattering techniques can be used to develop more efficient water purification methods. Plastic use is ubiquitous in our modern-day society. Many plastic products contain the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), which is added […]

Enhanced cast iron for Scania’s vehicles
Scania CV AB
Nov 2018 - Nov 2019
Scania together with Lund University and RISE used synchrotron light to gain deeper knowledge on how the cast iron elements used in their vehicles are subjected to stress that could lead to cracks. The gained knowledge is beneficial for both material R&D and product development activities, in the aim of developing improved cast iron components. The toll of heavy transports Scania is a world-leading provider […]
