We want to become more! The Swerim Metals Research Institute conducts industry-oriented research and development on metals and their path from raw material to finished product. We are 200 employees in two locations in Sweden - Luleå and Stockholm. Our vision is a fossil-free and circular industry. . Project description Within Swerim there is the forging committee, a group that brings together stakeholders from the industry in the field of freeform forging. The committee includes representatives of the companies Alleima, Björneborg Steel AB, Ovako Sweden and Uddeholms AB as well as researchers from Swerim. Together, they conduct research and development in various areas related to forging, from heating to processing, measurement and modeling. Within the forging committee, a degree project linked to the development of the forging process is planned. The exact focus depends on the student's interest and own ideas. The degree project could consist of, for example, FEM simulation/modeling, energy issues, measurement technology, image analysis or development of software for operator support. Your profile We are looking for a curious engineering student with an interest in the development of freeform forging in your field of interest. The project is relevant to a wide range of engineering disciplines, from mechanical, materials and energy engineering, to engineering physics and computer science. Further information The project is planned to be carried out during the spring semester 2026 at Swerim in Luleå. During the work, visits to the forging companies involved in the project are also planned. For an approved degree project (30hp) Swerim pays 50 000 SEK.
