Abstract: Linnaeus University is one of about 40 universities and university colleges in Sweden. Sweden’s sixth largest university in terms of number of students (34.000 students, 2.100 employees). Linnaeus University was established in 2010 through a merger between Växjö University and University of Kalmar and is Sweden’s youngest university. Research at Linnaeus University is of high quality, nationally as well as internationally, and covers a wide range of disciplines. At the faculty of technology, there is a wide range of activities within ten different departments. The faculty gathers Linnaeus University’s education and research in technical subjects; for instance, computer science, physics, mathematics, nautical science, structural engineering and mechanical engineering. The research in the field of mechanical engineering is broad and has its focus in six areas: structural dynamics, material science, industrial economics, terotechnology, material mechanics, and product development and design. In material science, we study the microstructure of cast materials and any impact of possible defects on the mechanical properties. The present work will summarize research efforts to understand the effect of different parameters on the quality of cast iron performed in collaboration with Swedish foundries. The main parts of the experimental works are based on some casting components.

Bio: Professor Dugic is Associate Professor in the mechanical engineering department at Linnaeus University and from august 2018 Program director for the mechanical engineering programme. His research interests are in Foundry Technology. The aim is to understand phenomena at casting production and assist foundries to produce castings with good quality. His expertise is on phenomenon connected to the casting production process, such the liquid iron metallurgy, mould filling, interaction between the moulding material — mould atmosphere — molten metal, nucleation and inoculation, solidification and crystal growth, volume change, interdendritic flow and defect.
