Metal Production and Processing

The advanced materials characterization laboratory in Oslo develops techniques and makes use of advanced experimental facilities within the national infrastructure centers NORTEM, NICE, and NORFAB. It also employs modeling frameworks utilizing the...

In our fully equipped foundry laboratory we work with casting and melt treatment of metals such as aluminium, iron, steel, titanium, magnesium and copper based alloys. We design and produce models for shaped castings, and have a moulding line and a...

The robotic screening facility at SINTEF are optimized for high throughput analytical and cultivation work and enables us to process of thousands of samples or cultures per day.

SINTEF has a large number of various reactors for screening of catalysts and adsorbents. SINTEF has knowledge and experience in designing and building laboratory reactors for a range of industrial processes.

Achieving Europe’s climate-neutral objectives will fundamentally depend on our ability to develop clean energy and mobility solutions in the most sustainable way.

AleMo develop high-pressure die cast aluminium alloys with improved properties and/or reduced CO₂ footprint to increase the use of aluminium in electrically-powered vehicles.

The REVEAL project will develop a new technical solution for storing large amounts of energy with an energy storage density of more than 15 MWh/m3 at low cost to produce heat and electricity in winter.

The LEAn project will develop catalytic coatings based on affordable and readily available components, which in addition reduce the metal industry's energy needs.

Together with the process industry SINTEF has developed software for process optimisation.

Our Invent software automatically produces optimised plans for maritime transportation of bulk commodities, while keeping storage levels for production and consumption within limits. Typical application areas are transportation of Liquefied Natural...

The SCORE project is a software development project for creating a framework for handling cross disciplinary engineering problems involving fluid and solid mechanics with complex boundaries and free surfaces.

Sisim is a model for silicon crystallization processes. It is the product of collaboration between SINTEF and the Institute of Energy Technology, and is being developed within the Norwegian FME Center for Solar Cell Research with support from the...
