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.
February 22, 2023 The paper Orientation dependent pinning of (sub)grains by dispersoids during recovery and recrystallization in an Al–Mn alloy has been published in the journal Acta Materialia. The paper presents the application of a recently developed experimental methodology to directly correlate (sub)grains and particles during recovery and recrystallization in an Al-Mn alloy.

February 21, 2023 Centre leader Knut Marthinsen participated 9th February at the 7th NTNU European Conference, organized by NTNU at the Residence Palace in Brussel, where he chaired a session on Critical Raw Materials. The topic of the conference was: The Future guiding the Present: The Role of R&I and Education in navigating current and incoming EU Challenges. Read more here.
January 30, 2023 Researchers from SFI PhysMet develop ontologies as a common language for describing and connecting data from different sources. Read more in this article published in Dagsavisen. The article gives a brief historical background to ontologies and points out resent applications for new innovations.
December 19, 2022 2022 was a prosperous year for our centre, in terms of scientific results and potential innovations. We have made short presentations of some of the recent scientific achievements made in the various research areas. Read more here.
November 30, 2022 Professor Dierk Raabe was appointed Honorary Doctor at NTNU at the NTNU Doctoral Awards Ceremony November 18th. Dierk Raabe is a Director at Max Planck Institute for Iron Research in Düsseldorf, Germany, and he is also a Professor at RWTH Aachen. His interests are in sustainable metallurgy, hydrogen, microstructures, alloy design, computational materials science and atom probe tomography. Read more
November 29, 2022 All SFI PhysMet members were invited to the biannual SFI consortium meeting at Raufoss November 9th – 10th. The meeting was hosted by SINTEF Manufacturing and 55 participants met at The Catapult Centre at Raufoss (Manufacturing Technology). Read more about the highlights and see pictures from the meeting 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).
