Cleaner steel with synchrotron X-ray microtomography
SSAB
Nov 2018 - Mar 2020
Steel producer SSAB, the metal research institute SWERIM and the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) used synchrotron X-ray microtomography to explore ways to detect foreign particles in predefined steel. The results show that it is possible to detect tiny inclusions down to a size of <2.4 μm.

Using neutrons to tackle hydrogen embrittlement
SSAB
Nov 2018 - Nov 2019
The steel producer SSAB with the help of Swerim AB and Malmö University learns more about how to prevent hydrogen embrittlement from limiting the potential of the company’s high-strength steel products. They turned to neutron diffraction to study the material in unique ways. A challenge to high-strength steel Hydrogen embrittlement is a complex process where materials such as steel are embrittled after being exposed to hydrogen. […]
