Welcome to Ångström Tribomaterials Group!

Our group conducts research and graduate education focusing on Tribology, including Surface Engineering and Materials.

Our research in tribology aims towards improving or developing new materials, coatings, surfaces structures, etc. "Better tribology" may lead to fantastic benefits in terms or quality, energy, economy, environment & health, safety, raw material saving, and much more. Please learn more about the benefits of tribological research and development and more about our research.

We teach in undergraduate courses (civilingenjörskurser) on materials science, surface analysis, electron microscopy, tribology and surface engineering.

Vi ger SEM-kurser

Vart eller vartannat år genomför vi vår populära SEM-kurs; Svepelektonmikroskopi i praktik och teori.

Kursen vänder sig operatörer och blivande operatörer, som saknar eller behöver repetera de teoretiska eller praktiska grunderna, och även till personer som behöver insikter i ämnet för att t ex kunna tolka SEM-bilder.

Nästa SEM-kurs ges

1–2 februari 2012.
