Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KHQjc4ndas&t=41sAre you motivated to take a step towards a doctorate and open up exciting career opportunities? As a PhD Candidate with us, you will work to achieve your doctorate, and at the same time gain valuable experience that qualifies you for a further career in higher education and research, in and outside academia.
A PhD position within the frame of the European project AlproCam (with NTNU, Brunel University, Technische Universitat Clausthal, Phoenix Scientific Industries, Acondicionamiento Tarrasense Associacion) is offered at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The funding is 3 years.
Your immediate Line Manager will be the Head of Department.
Currently, when aluminum powder is used in 3D printing, it degrades and develops a crusty outer layer, making it difficult to reuse. Instead of throwing it away or using harsh chemicals and extreme energy to clean it, the European AlproCam project uses a physical approach that allows to restoring old, used aluminum powder back to perfect, brand-new quality. The goal is to eliminate the need for toxic chemicals, save energy, and open the door to fully recycling aluminum and other metals in modern manufacturing. The ALPROCAM project aims at making additive manufacturing products more sustainable, cheaper and environmentally friendly.
The PhD position will focus on modelling the thermal expansion and cracking of powder used for the 3D printing. Crystal plasticity and continuum plasticity models in finite element software will be adapted and used.
The work will include collaboration with European partners and a researcher at NTNU who will perform material characterization and testing.
The appointment is to be made in accordance with NTNUs guidelines for recruitment positions for general criteria for the position.
Emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
