A research consortium for research and development of new and existing methods within metallographys.
Swerim has extensive equipment and competence within metallography and microanalysis methods. In close collaboration with Swedish industry, we develop existing and new methods for increased competitiveness.
Participating companies get access to a wide network of metallographists and researchers within the steel-, metal- and engineering industry. Together, we carry out research aiming to find and develop methods that create direct benefit.
We monitor the development of methods within metallography and gather new knowledge.
Our research partly results in standardised methods, but also produces solutions to our members’ specific challenges. In addition to an extensive network and access to research projects we provide you with:
In our research laboratories we have access to a wide range of advanced equipment and analysis methods such as:
Our test-labs are also well equipped for sample preparations. We can help you with polishing and etching as well as ion polishing and ion etching. Additionally we can prepare samples with different types of coatings such as carbon, gold, platina, nickel, aluminium (AL203) etcetera.
In addition to our own competency and equipment we can provide you with contacts offering FIB, TOFS-SIMS, XPS, Nano-hardness, Auger, SPM, APM and µ-LA-ICP-MS.
The research consortium Metallography and Micro Analysis (META) is also a part of the research consortium : Steel and metal research.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
