Purpose Many leisure boat manufacturers have thrived on designing and building highly customized boats based on longstanding traditions of craftsmanship. To achieve efficient value chains, it is not enough to optimize each process step, but also important to achieve a smooth flow through the...

Direct current glow discharge mass spectrometry (dc-GDMS), which relies on sector field mass analyzers, is not commonly used for depth profiling applications because of its slow data acquisition. Nevertheless, dc-GDMS has good reproducibility and low limits of detection, which are analytical...

Al-Cu-Li alloys exhibit a superior strength to weight ratio, making the alloys attractive for applications within aviation and aerospace. However, their widespread application has been somewhat limited by the challenges associated with porosity and crack formation during welding. The purpose of this...

Rapporten er et av flere resultater fra kompetanse- og samarbeidsprosjektet POCOplast. Prosjektet skal utvikle ny kunnskap om hvordan man kan oppnå mer bærekraftig utnyttelse av hardplast fra oppdrettsnæringen, ved å skape ny verdi basert på resirkulering og sirkulær økonomi. Rapporten drøfter...

Setting up a robotised additive manufacturing machine requires attention to several safety aspects, including integration of different systems, a functional work area, human-machine interfaces and convenience in operation. This article presents some topics that should be considered in the design and...

Lean manufacturing has experienced massive changes under the influence of Industry 4.0 as the automation of lean practices has become common among manufacturing companies in many countries and across different industries. Automating lean practices promises several opportunities for growth and...

Progressing towards circular economy requires smarter and more efficient use of energy and resources. Laser beam can be efficient and flexible tool for melting different metals, commonly used in cladding and additive manufacturing (AM) with a wire and powder feedstock. As an alternative, feedstock...
