Export to calendar

Sandvik Coromant is a world leader within the cutting industry in which hard metals, i.e. tungsten carbide embedded in a cobalt-based binder, is the work horse for the last 100 years. There is an ongoing effort of the industry to move away from Cobalt-based alloys as binder material. Within the company, computational methods are a vital part within R&D ranging from first-principles and atomistic simulations to Finite Element Analysis and thermo-dynamical modeling as well as computation fluid dynamics and statistical modelling.

In this talk, some examples on how computer simulations are applied to support the efforts in developing new binder alloys are presented.

Martina Lattemann.

Martina Lattemann is Specialist and Technology Area Manager for Modeling and Simulations at Sandvik Coromant. She obtained her Ph.D. at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany and was Post.-Doc. and Assistant Prof. at Linköpings Universitet, before she started as a group leader at the Technical University Darmstadt, Germany. She received an ARC International Followship which she spent at the University of Sydney developing new plasma process for surface modification and as visiting scientist at Curtin University in Perth, where she also was offered an Adj. Assoc. Prof. position.

Her main research area is within materials science ranging from thin film technologies, advance materials characterization, and computer simulations. Lately, her focus lies on multiscale modeling for the development of hard metals.
