Engineering Internship: Strain & Texture in Al Alloys

Constellium SE; Voreppe; Sur place; EUR 13 000 - 20 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Constellium SE, in collaboration with SIMaP in Grenoble, is offering a research internship focused on strain localization and damage development during bending of 6xxx aluminium alloys for automotive applications. The project combines instrumented bending tests with DIC, EBSD analysis, interferometry and post-mortem SEM to relate microstructure and texture to damage mechanisms.

You will work within the C-TEC R&D team at Voreppe, spending time with the PhD student at SIMaP and collaborating with

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge in physical metallurgy and mechanics relevant to metallurgical research.
• Motivation for experimental work, including image analysis.
• Ability to post-process large experimental datasets.
• Autonomy, critical thinking and creativity; interest in R&D/PhD.

Responsabilités

• Quantify strain localization and relate to crystallographic texture during bending.
• Conduct instrumented mechanical tests with DIC on various materials.
• Use interferometry to map surface roughness evolution on bent specimens.
• Perform EBSD on interrupted bending tests to identify grain orientations.
• Post-mortem SEM analysis for damage quantification.
• Identify indicators linking strain localization to microstructure and write reports.
