Metallographic laboratory
In the metallographic laboratory we do extraction, preparation and characterization of metallic samples.
Laboratories
All our labs have designated contact persons. SINTEF builds and operates important research infrastructure and we have over 100 laboratories that form the basis for our research. From zero-emission buildings, to ocean basins, nano, CO2, electrical engineering and full-scale aquaculture sites - world-leading laboratories, from ocean space to outer space.
Molten Salt and Electrolysis Lab
Molten salts includes fluorides, chlorides and carbonates melts for use in several electrochemical processes. Aluminium electrolysis is the predominant field of work but also electrowinning of Titanium, Iron, Magnesium, Silicon and Rare Earth Metals...
Process Metallurgical Laboratories
Modern production of high quality metallic materials requires advanced knowledge of pyro-metallurgical processes. SINTEF optimises metallurgical processes and raw materials, using a combination of laboratory scale and pilot scale experimental...
Refractories and Carbon Test Laboratories
High temperature materials are commonly defined based on their maximum application temperature with respect to the materials melting temperature, which strongly depends on the applied stress-level and the resistance to corrosive environments. Our...
SINTEF Pore Imaging Laboratory
SINTEF Pore Imaging Laboratory is an advanced national and European research infrastructure comprised of multifaceted X-ray imaging facilities, with advanced analysis tools, and fast computing power.
Wetting laboratory
In our unique wetting laboratory, we have competence on investigating interactions between liquid and solid materials at high temperatures. It is vital for the progress of metallurgical processes to further improve the understanding of reactions...
