Johan Moverare

Professor

My research focus is on the mechanical properties of metallic materials intended for load-bearing structures. The link between the materials microstructure and mechanical properties, the deformation and failure mechanisms are of interest.

Mechanical properties of metallic materials

Johan Moverare is a professor in Engineering Materials at the Department of Management and Engineering. He is leading the research group in mechanical properties of structural materials.

The research is often carried out in an interdisciplinary way involving advanced mechanical test methods, high-resolution microscopy of deformation and damage mechanisms as well as material modelling of the observed phenomena. Johan Moverare has close links to parts of the Swedish industry and is very open for industrial co-operations. In addition to an academic career Johan Moverare also has industrial experience and has been working full time for 10 years as a specialist at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB.

Main research interests:
  • Thermomechanical fatigue of high temperature materials
  • Mechanical properties and material modeling of engineering materials
  • Effects of in-service degradation on mechanical properties
  • Relationship between processing, microstructure and the mechanical properties of engineering materials
  • Superalloys 
  • Additive manufacturing

Mechanical properties of structural materials

We work with a series of advanced mechanical tests methods to determine the mechanical properties of a material. By combining these methods with microstructural investigations we can study the active deformation and damage mechanisms.

Additive manufacturing

3D-printing will have a huge impact on the manufacturing industry in the years to come, and a better understanding of the material properties of AM manufactured parts is vital to fully utilize the potential of this fairly new technology.

Research projects

Microstructure and mechanical properties of additive manufactured superalloy

High quality and high performance of additive manufactured (3D-printed) material requires good control of the microstructure of the materials.

3D printing for critical aeronautical applications

Additive manufacturing (3D-printing) makes impossible designs possible and could be the start of the 3:rd industrial revolution which will change the way we look at production and development.
