  1. 1. Characterisation of Non-metallic Inclusions in Special Steels using Electrolytic Extraction

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Josefin Mvele Svensson; [2024]
    Keywords : Non-metallic inclusions; electrolytic extraction; SEM; Icke-metalliska inneslutningar; elektrolytisk extraktion; SEM;

    Abstract : When producing high strength special steels strict requirements are in place to assure the quality of the final product, both in terms of harmful elements and  the  content  of  non-metallic  inclusions  (NMI).  Achieving  cleanliness  is a  gradual  process  where all  the  steps  of  the  production  process  are  inter- connected, meaning that it is crucial to know the influence of each step in order to assure the contents of the final product.

  3. 2. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  4. 3. Prospects for standardisation of industrial PET plastics to support the transition towards a circular economy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Agnes Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Standard; standardisation; industrial PET; polyethylene terephthalate; circular economy; plastic; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Plastkonsumtionen har ökat markant över tid och har utvecklats till ett viktigt material i dagens samhälle, men med utmaningen att råvaran främst kommer från fossila källor. Användningen av plast är i linje med den linjära ekonomin och den så kallade slit-och-släng-kulturen, vilket bidrar till felaktig hantering av plastavfall och en ineffektiv användning av resurser.

  5. 4. Development of a guide system for free neutron oscillation searches at the European Spallation Source

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska Högskola; Lunds universitet/European Spallation Source ESS AB

    Author : Linnéa Björk; [2023]
    Keywords : ESS; neutrons; dark matter; antimatter; neutron guides; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project, a neutron delivery system for the study of free neutron oscillations at the HIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS) has been developed. The HIBEAM experiment is part of a two-stage program at ESS which will address open questions in physics; specifically the nature of dark matter and the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe.

  6. 5. Effect of Trace Elements on the Particle Size of Magnesium Silicide in Aluminium Extrusion : The Use of Thermo-Calc and DICTRA in order to Produce Aluminium more Efficiently

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Gustav Boustedt; Johan Alexander Valentin Nygren; Gustav Strandgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermo-Calc; DICTRA; simulations; EN AW 6082; extrusion; particle precipitation; Mg2Si; sustainable; trace elements; aluminium;

    Abstract : This project is a feasibility study for Hydro Extrusion Sweden AB, a company that produces extruded aluminium profiles. The main purpose of this project was to analyse the difference of Mg2Si particle sizes in aluminium alloys when varying parameters, such as cooling rate and composition, in aluminium extrusion, particularly the EN AW 6082 alloy.
