Sweden-based SSAB has announced that Thomas Stenberg, a Ph.D. student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, has won the Swedish Steel Prize University Challenge 2015 with a quality assurance method for weld joints.

“Good weld quality affects the fatigue strength of components, especially important for the use of high-strength steel. The winning application is a new method for assuring the high quality in the form of longer fatigue life of weld joints,” says Gregoire Parenty, chairman of the jury and executive vice president and head of market development for SSAB.

Stenberg’s work will contribute to the development of software and measuring equipment for use in future industrial production lines.

The Swedish Steel Prize University Challenge is an international prize aimed at inspiring students to learn about steel and how to design and manufacture in high-strength steel.
