Duration
3-6 months
Deadline
February 15 for fall internship
October 1 for spring internship
Supervisor
Dr. Javad Mola
Project description

The Materials Design and Structural Integrity Laboratory is working on the identification of damage mechanisms that limit the service life of engineering metallic materials under demanding service conditions. After receiving necessary training, you will support ongoing research projects. Your specific project and task assignments will depend on the availability and workload of current research projects, as well as your expertise and background. The details of your project will be agreed upon in a virtual meeting but in general, it will revolve around the following topics: 

- Microstructure and mechanical properties of novel metallic alloys

- Weldability and wear performance of engineering alloys

- Python-based processing of high-energy X-ray diffraction data for mechanical stress analysis

 

 

 

Tasks
- Metallographic specimen preparation, light microscopy, electron microscopy
- Mechanical testing (hardness, tensile, tribology, creep, fatigue, etc.)
- Welding, thermodynamic simulations, and data processing in the context of materials science and engineering
Requirements
Basic knowledge of materials science and engineering (MSE)
Basic knowledge of materials testing (courses in MSE completed)
Languages
English required
Basic knowledge in German would be helpful
Possible beginnings
September/October for fall internship
March for spring internship
Later start dates may be possible depending on the lab's circumstances
Credits
According to agreement
