Unser Profil

The Steel Institute of RWTH Aachen University conducts teaching and research in the fields of steel production and processing as well as the application of metallic materials.
The research is both basic and application-orientated; it addresses current research topics and makes a scientific contribution to industrial problems.
The research results and the scientific staff enjoy a high national and international reputation.

Ihr Profil

• You have a university degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in materials engineering, materials science or mechanical engineering with a specialisation in materials science, which you have completed with above-average success.
• You would like to work on challenging research topics within the framework of scientific research projects.
• You have a very good command of written and spoken English and German and are able to work independently,
• Creativity and flexibility are a matter of course for you and you are a team player.

Ihre Aufgaben

You will work on research projects with the aim of alloy and process design for the fine blanking of HMnS, taking into account the microstructure, in such a way that a high degree of strain hardening of the sheared surface edge can be achieved with simultaneously high quality (smooth edge conditon) as well as appropraite general, wear and fatigue properties. The aim of the first phase is a knowledge-based explanation of the cause-effect relationships between the alloy design of HMnS and the process design during fineblanking as well as their effects on the sheared part properties with regard to hardening, quality and general strength.

At the Steel Institute, you can use a wide range of sophisticated experimental equipment - from atom probes to component tests - supplemented by the possibility of producing and processing the materials to be analysed yourself.
