Research for a sustainable future

The metals research institute Swerim conducts needs-based industrial research and development concerning metals and their route from raw material to finished product. Our vision is a sustainable and competitive industry.

Research that creates industrial benefit

New process saves energy

Outotec has developed a process for hot magnetic separation of metallic fine-grained concentrates and products.

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.

Simulation improves materials development in the steel industry

Development of new materials in the steel industry is costly and time-consuming. Simulation can improve efficiency in both materials development and steelmaking.

A major step towards carbon neutral production of ferrochrome

For the first time, successful trials have demonstrated that biocarbon functions as a reducing agent in the production of ferrochrome (FeCr).
