PhysMet is an interdisciplinary centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) in the field of physical metallurgy.
Our goal is to establish knowledge and technology to realise new innovative materials solutions in cost-efficient, low-carbon production chains in the metallurgical and manufacturing industry in Norway.
May 26-31, 2024, Senior researcher Qiang Du from SINTEF, presented results from SFI PhysMet at the 51st International Conference on Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry at Dorint Kongresshotel Mannheim, Germany. Read more here.
April 24-25, 2024, SFI PhysMet organised a very successful consortium meeting in Kristiansand. Altogether 55 colleagues from NTNU, SINTEF, IFE and our industrial partners attended the meeting, which was held at Clarion Ernst Hotel in Kristiansand. Read more here.
March 14, 2024, Professor Equo Kobayashi from Department of Material Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) visited NTNU, Department of Physics and Department of Material Science and Engineering, with Profs. Randi Holmestad and Knut Marthinsen, as hosts. The main purpose of the visit was primarily to sign an AGREEMENT ON STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM between School of Materials and Chemical Technology, Tokyo Institute of Technology AND The Faculty of Natural Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

February 7, 2024 Professor Knut Marthinsen participated on 5-6 February at a two-day scientific discussion meeting on Sustainable metals and systems in London UK. The meeting was organised by Professor Julian M Allwood FREng, Materials Science and Engineering, University of Cambridge and Professor Dierk Raabe, Max-Planck Institute for Iron Research, and gathered more than 80 experts from around the world, with physical presence or online. The meeting was hosted by the Royal Society, London, and took place in venerable and historic locations in central London, with big paintings of Sir Isac Newton, Ernest Rutherford and Stephen Hawkings on the wall.
