ÅTMD returns!
2023-02-17
After a few years hiatus we will finally arrange the Ångström Tribomaterials Days again!
Invitations will soon arrive in your mail boxes but please mark down May 30-31 in your calendars right away. We look forward to seeing many of you again for presentations and discussions about tribological advances and challenges.

Master thesis workers, spring of 2023
2023-02-17
Two new master thesis workers have begun their respective works at the Tribomaterials group. We welcome Martin Hallhagen and Julia Rosengren.
Martin will work with method development to study initial wear mechanisms of cultivator points.
Julia will work with the effect of oxygen on the wear of hard metal in contact with cupper alloys.
Both these projects are closely connected to larger ongoing projects in the group.

Dissertations during Autumn of 2022
2022-06-30
Early this Autumn two of our PhD students, and valued colleagues, will defend their doctoral theses.
First on September 23rd is Anders Holmberg. His work has been on powder metallurgical steels and especially towards gear applications, where porosity plays a crucial role for fatigue properties.
A couple weeks later, October 7th, it is time for Carl Johan Karlsson Hassila. His work has been about additive manufacturing, more specific regarding how to print in Inconel and how the micro structure in the material can be optimised by fine tuning the process parameters.

Master thesis work during fall of 2020
2021-01-22
During the fall of 2020 we have had two master thesis workers at the Tribomaterials group. Alma Fjällström presented on 21/1 her work Method development for a tribological diffusion couple of rock and cemented carbide. In the near future, Maria Wojtowicz will present her work Macro composites for crushing - additive manufacturing of hard phase.

ÅTMD paused until further notice
2021-01-22
We have chosen to postpone ÅTMD until further notice. A major reason for us organizing this event is the physical meeting and the informal discussions between the presentations. We see a great value in these and have therefor decided to not hold a digital event - but rather wait until we can meet you in person again.
We hope that the situation will improve soon and that we can hold ÅTMD at some point during 2021. Please keep a look out towards the summer when we hopefully can give an update.
