Research In Materials Science With Teaching Assignments
Karlstad, Sweden
Working in the research group of materials science mainly focusing on tool materials with tailored multilayers for advanced applications.Teaching activities Sep. 2004 – April 2007 • International master program course ‘Deformation and fracture mechanics of engineering materials’• International master program course ‘Materials Manufacturing Technology’Doctoral Project Jan. 2002- May2008Powder-based gradient structural tool materials with tailored multilayers for advanced applications.• Combined two strong material technology sectors, Powder and Surface Technology, to synthesize components based on a functional gradient surface composite.• Study on microstructure, tribological behaviour and fatigue behaviour of starch consolidated high speed steels aiming at an overall optimization of powder, alloying and surface modification by keeping a focus on end-user requirements.Licentiate Project May 2002-Dec.2004Direct metal laser sintered iron-based powder material for advanced applications.• Microstructure, bending fatigue and thermal fatigue behaviour of a laser sintered iron-based powder material to support prediction of end-user performance and further development.• Thermal fatigue behaviour of the laser sintered material with an emphasis on temperature distribution, thermal induced stress and strain in relationship with thermal fatigue damage.
