PhysMet is an interdisciplinary centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) in the field of physical metallurgy.
Our goal is to establish knowledge and technology to realise new innovative materials solutions in cost-efficient, low-carbon production chains in the metallurgical and manufacturing industry in Norway.
September 22, 2023 SFI Physmet and the EU project Smart-SWAAM have organized a two days international course on additive manufacturing (AM). Several international and national experts were invited to give lectures about different aspects of AM from fundamental solidification, equipment, powder production, processing, microstructures and properties to applications.

August 31, 2023 We are looking for competent and motivated candidates for a position as postdoctoral fellow in laser-based welding of steels and aluminium alloys. Deadline for applications: September 21st. More information on the project and how to apply here.
August 18, 2023 The 12th International Conference on Processing & Manufacturing of Advanced Materials Thermec’2023, was organized in Vienna, Austria, July 2 - 7. The Thermec conference provides a forum that connects professionals (engineers, technologists, researchers) working in industry, academia and government research labs from around the world. Attendees from SFI PhysMet gave presentations and received award at the conference! Read more here.
August 17, 2023 The 7th international Conference of Engineering against Failure, ICEAF7, was held in Spetses Greece in June 2023. SFI PhysMet PhD candidate Magnus Reiersen gave a presentation at the conference. ICEAF is set up to attract interdisciplinary work dedicated to: the design against engineering failure, the implementation of appropriate guidelines and the development and application of concepts and technologies to prevent of failure with the use of both, novel and established approaches, technologies, and tools for failure analysis.

June 13, 2023 Around 90 participants from industry and researcher users of Thermo-Calc products attended the seminar on Computational Thermodynamics and Kinetics, which was organized by Thermo-Calc Software (partner of SFI PhysMet) in Stockholm on June 8th, 2023. The aim of the meeting is to exchange ideas and experience in the field of CALPHAD-type thermodynamics and kinetics in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Read more here.
Close collaboration between research institutions and industry is crucial to make the transition to a green future. SFI PhyMet has published a chronicle about the need to produce more knowledge on recycling and sustainable production of metal products. Read the chronicle here(in Norwegian).
