R&D and innovation
Sandvik Materials Technology has a long tradition in innovation as well as significant R&D investments. Our R&D centers have industry-leading track records in the successful commercialization of new products and materials.
In our commitment to the needs of our customers, we systematically collect data about new and growing challenges facing them. Our engineers and specialists spend considerable time with customers to jointly discover ways of addressing their challenges with new or modified products.
To achieve these goals, Sandvik uses its R&D resources in a highly focused way. Our capabilities include, for example, facilities and/or test units for:
- Exploring the microstructure of materials
- Analyzing mechanical and physical properties
- Computational modelling for optimizing the manufacturing processes
- Electric heating elements up to 800 kW and for gas heating up to 1 MW power
- Full-scale production trials and testing
Sandvik engineers have the right combination of academic qualifications and hands-on experience, and enjoy a very active exchange program with leading research centers and universities worldwide.
