R&D Intern: Heat Transfer & Cooling in Aluminum Casting

Constellium SE; Voreppe; Sur place; EUR 10 000 - 17 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Constellium is seeking an Engineering student for an R&D internship in heat transfer and cooling optimization during aluminium casting, based in Grenoble (Voreppe). The project focuses on dissolved gases, especially CO₂, and their effect on boiling phenomena, using the quench pilot facility.

You will run experimental campaigns, measure CO₂ concentration, derive heat transfer coefficients, and help develop new correlations for casting models.

Qualifications

• Engineering student (final year) or MSc (M2) in Physics or Materials Science
• Motivated, creative, rigorous, curious, autonomous
• Knowledge in Materials Science
• Good communication in English and French (essential)

Responsabilités

• Join the R&D casting team on recycling, melting, metal quality, casting and solidification
• Conduct experimental work on the quench pilot facility with the CO2 probe
• Measure dissolved CO2 concentration and its evolution under various operating conditions
• Determine heat transfer coefficients from the thermal response of the instrumented plate
• Establish correlations between cooling performance, gas content and water chemistry
• Identify governing parameters for heat exchange during jet cooling
• Propose new heat transfer laws for casting and solidification models

Connaissances
