Gemini Centre for Metal Forming

A fully instrumented 800 tonnes laboratory press, equipped with advanced tools for extrusion and forging, together with our skilled research staff, constitutes the backbone of our forming activity.

Tribology is the multidisciplinary science on wear, friction and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Research in tribology is often highly dependent on the final application. The mission of the Tribology Lab at SINTEF/NTNU is to...

Our Thermal-Mechanical Simulation laboratory offers state of the art technology for experimental and thermal-mechanical testing of metallic samples. The physical simulation system provides desired versatility and capacity to simulate thermal...

In the characterization laboratory we have strong expertise in metallographic characterization of steel, aluminum and other metals and alloys. The laboratory is located very close to the mechanical/fracture mechanical laboratory, the corrosion...

We can test and characterise a wide range of different materials in our laboratories. Materials and components are bent, tensioned and compressed, and go through fracture- and fatigue tests.
