null TWO NEW INTPART PROJECTS TO SFI METAL PRODUCTION!

Professors Merete Tangstad and Gabriella Tranell from SFI Metal Production have received funding for INTPART projects from the Research Council of Norway.
 
INTPART is a programme for International Partnerships for Excellent Education, Research and Innovation. The objective of the INTPART programme is to develop world-class research and education in Norway through long-term international cooperation with priority partner countries: Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, the US, Germany and France. The purpose is lay a foundation that enables such research groups to develop longterm relations with strong academic groups in the priority countries.

The cooperating partners in the project are NTNU and SINTEF in Norway, Mintek and North West University in South Africa, University of Science and Technology Beijing in China and the University of Tokyo in Japan.

For all Intpart projects, the content of the project will be focused on development of the two disciplines Education and Research, and in this project the common theme is the use of thermodynamics in metal producing processes.

During the project periode there will be common seminars and workshops, exchange on a senior scientist and student level as well as common publications. There is also a longterm intent to apply for common research projects.

The projects will receive a total funding of 5,6 mill NOK over three years. 


Professor Gabriella Tranell’s receives 5,7 mill for the project "Extreme"

Development and production of new alloys and coatings that can withstand harsh conditions found in aerospace, metallurgical and biomedical applications are the focus of this project.
Illustration INTPART project ExtremeMaterials and coatings that need to withstand extreme corrosive, thermal and abrasive environments are in rapidly growing demand.  Since material degeneration processes are often very similar, research into their production, properties and use is naturally inter-linked. Today, specialized groups located in different countries work on similar problems, while step-change progress requires new modes of collaboration across disciplines, countries and applications.

The project is a collaboration between leading institutions from Norway (NTNU/SINTEF), the United States (U. Connecticut, U. Pittsburgh and U. Virginia) and Germany (RWTH Aachen). The project will develop lasting networks in education and research through international summer schools, a joint international symposium together with industry partners in the different countries, exchange of candidates and faculty staff and a joint PhD course. The project will receive a total funding of 5,7 mill NOK over three years.
