Projects in corrosion

LowCoBio aims to accelerate the commercialisation of renewable fuels from bio-oil by addressing two key challenges: improving production processes and solving corrosion problems.

In ALPH, new coating and forming methods are devloped to enable the use of aluminum as bipolar plate material for High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFCs). The lightweight metal combined with the higher temperatures enable lighter fuel cells with a simple cooling system for use in for example heavy duty trucks.

The aim of the project is to create a new methodology for testing materials and components for offshore energy. The project will contribute to simpler and improved material choices that provide a longer lifespan and thus reduced costs. This helps renewable energy to increase its competitiveness.

The aim of the project is to reduce costs and increase the profitability of offshore energy installations through the development of dynamic cables. The development is done by simulating how the cable moves using fiber optics and modeling as well as surface treatment to minimize fouling, all to increase the lifespan and reduce maintenance.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a new technology, which is identified as particularly interesting for small modular reactors (SMRs). The use of AM in SMR opens up completely new possibilities with respect to component design, manufacturing lead times and availability of spare parts.

Sustainable Concrete Material Leading to Improved Substructures for Offshore Renewable Energy Technologies

The objective of NEWLEAF is to optimize and develop future lead-free brass alloys to meet stricter requirements and contribute to a continued circular, sustainable and efficient brass industry in the Nordic countries.

The cluster for surface treatment and paint is one of eight clusters within the Swedish Manufacturing R&D Clusters. The cluster focuses on research and development in processes and materials for the next generation of surface treatment of vehicles with new combinations of materials.

The purpose is to examine and improve the continuous preventive bridge maintenance that inter alia consists of washing, cleaning of drainage system and bridge joints and removal of vegetation. How the maintenance affects the material and structure is relatively unknown, since the procedure is based on practical experiences, except that it’s better than nothing.
