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.

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.

The Division of Engineering Materials explore the relationships between microstructure and properties of mainly metallic materials but also ceramics, composites and polymers for engineering applications.

Here, research in new materials, for example, carbon fiber, polymers and composites will take place in collaboration with business, research institutes, other universities and students. LCL is establishing at Linköping University, spring 2025.

Welcome to this academic conference at Linköping University, arranged by the Swedish Arena for Additive Manufacturing of Metals.

What can be done to protect metallic components operating at high temperatures? how can we increase the fatigue resistance of structural components? Surface modification for better performance and durability is the main focus of our research.

The Going Green with Graphene (G3) project aims to create next-generation composites, based on graphene-coated natural fibers.

LiU hosted The Swedish academic conference for additive manufacturing of metals in January 2025

LiU Composite Laboratory (LCL) is the name of a newly established laboratory at Linköping University. Here, research into polymer composite materials will be conducted in collaboration with industry and other universities.

LiU is participating in a new research project, in collaboration with Saab and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), to test composite materials under various temperatures and mechanical loads.
