R&D Intern: Microstructure & Texture of Aluminum Alloys

Constellium SE; Voreppe; Sur place; EUR 8 900 - 13 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Constellium is seeking an engineering intern to explore the impact of crystallographic texture orientation and its spatial distribution on the mechanical performance of aluminium alloys for automotive applications.

You will work in the C-TEC center in Grenoble (Voreppe) with a cross-functional team, handling EBSD, XRD measurements and advanced numerical modeling to improve recycled content’s effect on ductility and formability.

Qualifications

• Education: Bac+5 / MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Physics or Materials Science.
• Strong motivation, creativity, rigor, curiosity, and autonomous work.
• Knowledge in Materials science and willingness to develop experimental skills.
• Proficient in English and French communication.

Responsabilités

• Conduct literature review on methods to transpose microstructure measurements to numerical spatially arranged RVEs.
• Perform XRD measurements to quantify global crystallographic texture; use EBSD for spatial grain orientation analysis.
• Build a numerical twin of the microstructure to be used in Damask and FEM software (Marc).
• Maintain and adapt existing numerical models for tensile and bending simulations.
• Study the impact of spatial arrangement on surface plasticity and strain localization under load.
• Compare simulations with experiments to identify texture promoting enhanced performance.
