The Chalmers Centre for Metal Cutting Research (MCR) was established in 2003 through the efforts of SKF and then-director Hans-Börje Oskarson. It belongs to the Department of Industrial and Materials Science and is associated with Chalmers Production Area of Advance.
Since its inception, the MCR has been dedicated to strengthening industry-academia partnerships. It supports Chalmers scientists in engaging in interdisciplinary research across divisions and research groups. The MCR facilitates industry-driven operations via research and learning and by managing two competence networks related to (1) processing fluids (PVC) and (2) grinding and abrasive technology (IGC).
