ADAPT-EBM is about the development of the electron beam melting process with titanium for the manufacture of future aircraft engine components.
The Adopt project proposes to exploit the recent progresses of the deformable mirror (DM) technology enabling to adapt in real time - on a millisecond time-scale - the shape and/or the beam energy distribution of a high-power laser beam (LB) to achieve the ambitious goal of increasing the robustness of LB welding and LB additive manufacturing.
Being one of the worst industries in the world in terms of human and environmental abuse, the textile industry is in urgent need for sustainable transformation. This is particularly true when it comes to social dimensions of sustainability.
The BioCoat project is about developing advanced biocompatible coatings in close collaboration with researchers at VIT Vellore University in India.
The major aim of the project is to develop protective coatings that provide improved engine efficiency and also fulfill the requirements posed by the alternative fuels to be used in heavy-duty vehicles.
As the number of electric vehicles on the world’s roads increases, there is a growing need to improve the durability and reliability of the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. The EMPIRE project investigates how welded joints in Li-ion batteries can be improved so that the risk of catastrophic damage and fires is eliminated.
Hydrogen has been identified as one of the fuels of the future for aviation.GKN Aerospace, together with six partners, is investing in the development of key components for hydrogen-powered aircraft engines. University West will contribute expert knowledge in metallurgy.
Improving the understanding of microstructure formation in Additively Manufactured Ni-based Superalloys through modelling.
Industrial production is becoming more complex and demands for increased digitalization, sustainability and new professional competences are growing. Digitalization creates opportunities for development of new combinations of physical production and services, which results in increased specialized customer customization. This in turn calls for a more flexible production system with shorter lead-time and personnel that have skills and competences to quickly adapt and make use of new digital applications for everyday work practice.
The overall aim is to recruit Professor Irmgard Borghouts as a visiting professor and thereby strengthen the I-WIL collective's competence in industrial transformation, an area of strategic importance for I-AIL's ability to develop a relevant research agenda, education initiatives and collaboration with business, society and the wider scientific community.
The novelty of this project is to reduce the weight, cost, and time for electronic assembly by replacing large number of fasteners and gaskets using friction stir welding with enhanced joint strength and excellent leak tight performance.
NovelCABs aims to demonstrate the versatility of new-generation SPS and SPPS coating methodologies as a “proof of concept” to develop SE, anode and cathode components for SSTB applications.
As a result of rapid technological developments, industry needs to address the need for new skill sets quickly. In the ProdEx project, University West and 51 companies and organisations have developed a new educational concept that facilitates lifelong learning and can make Swedish industry more competitive and sustainable.
The project is expected to generate an industrially validated scientific method for deployment of plug & produce resources with flexibility and efficiency in focus.
Externally employed doctoral students at the Sicomap research school have conducted their research in close collaboration with manufacturing companies during their doctoral studies at University West. Eleven companies have engaged 20 doctoral students during the 2012–2021 period. Fifteen of the students have completed their doctorates to date.
In just three years, University West's research team has built up world-leading knowledge in additive manufacturing with powder bed for the superalloy 718. SUMAN-Next is a strategic investment that is highly interesting for the aerospace industry and for the manufacturing industry in many other sectors.
Additive Manufactured Ni-Based Superalloys with Improved Resistance to Environmentally-Assisted Cracking
Additive Manufacturing (AM) of functional components, including complex structures challenging to manufacture by conventional methods (material removal), is a reality in progress. AM with metal deposition has gained interest beyond aerospace applications, by using Laser and Arc welding processes as driving force.
Dr. Nicolas Coniglio will contribute on a significant and sustainable basis to advancing the knowledge of welding and additive manufacturing, such as weldability (solidification cracking, hydrogen embrittlement) and in-situ instrumentation.
