Component manufacturing

Within the engineering industry, plastic moulding of metallic materials, e.g. sheet metal moulding, cold forging and cutting processes, are central elements of many manufacturing processes.

Our research within the moulding field is actively needs-oriented, strongly targeting materials technology aspects affecting tools, work materials and the tribological zone in the interface.

Machining
In machining operations such as turning, elevated temperatures are obtained in tools and working materials because of plastic deformation and friction in the process zone. Swerea KIMAB over the years has developed a number of techniques to measure the temperature in cutting tools during engagement.
