About
The Hultgren Laboratory provides access to a broad portfolio of tools for comprehensively characterising a variety of materials, together with expertise in materials characterisation.
The Hultgren Laboratory was established as a KTH Infrastructure in 2019 to provide students and established researchers with enhanced access to a broad portfolio of materials characterisation instruments as well as training.
The lab’s versatile facilities play an integral role in supporting the study of a wide range of materials, with particular strengths in analysing metallic and hard materials.
We offer instrumentation that has been specified and commissioned by experts in materials characterisation, together with staff dedicated to supporting users.
The laboratory is named after Professor Axel Hultgren, KTH’s first Professor of Metallurgy, in recognition of his pioneering contribution of using materials characterisation measurements as a foundation for theoretical advances.
