Metal machining – the art of manufacturing shapes in different types of metal – requires high-performance cutting tools. Such tools must have excellent wear properties and also be able to cut metals fast to increase the production rate. A TiAlN coating (consisting of titanium, aluminium, and nitrogen) on the cutting tools offers high resistance to
ForMAX is specially designed for advanced studies on wood-based materials. It allows in-situ multiscale structural characterization from nm to mm length scales by combining full-field tomographic imaging, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and scanning SWAXS imaging – in a single instrument. The beamline is an initiative where several market-leading industry companies, mainly from the
When regular cheese is produced, the milk proteins react with rennet and form a cheese curd. These specific proteins, formed in a certain structure, are unique to mammalian milk, which makes them difficult to mimic. Cassius AB:s research project focuses on getting a deeper understanding of how the proteins in regular cheese form structures spontaneously.
The ForMAX instrument at MAX IV is funded by industrial partners of Treesearch (a national platform for research on new materials and speciality chemicals from forest raw material) and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation. Once operating, the state-of-the-art equipment at ForMAX will allow in-situ multiscale structural characterization from nm to mm length scales, combining
Arevo produces plant biostimulants to ensure an environmentally friendly way of increasing plant growth, while keeping soils healthy and reducing nutrient losses to a minimum. This is done by addressing the sustainability goals articulated in the European Commission’s “From Farm to Fork” strategy to reduce input of fertilizers and nutrient losses until 2030. The biostimulants
