PhD: Engineering Hydrogen-Resistant Circular Steels

1000scholars; Delft; Presencial; EUR 36 000 - 45 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

The Extreme Materials and Mechanics Group at TU Delft invites applications for a doctoral candidate to investigate hydrogen-induced degradation in circular steels within the CIRHY program.

You will combine advanced microstructural characterization, in-situ hydrogen testing and fracture toughness experiments to reveal how hydrogen interacts with steel microstructures and to establish links between microstructure and performance.

Qualificações

• Strong background in physical metallurgy, materials characterization and fracture mechanics.
• Excellent written and spoken English, and ability to communicate across disciplines.
• Interest in multidisciplinary academic and industrial collaboration.

Responsabilidades

• Perform advanced 3D microstructural characterization of circular steels and study tramp element segregation.
• Investigate hydrogen influence on deformation and ductility with in-situ testing.
• Quantify hydrogen transport and interaction with defects using advanced techniques.
• Conduct in-situ hydrogen fracture toughness tests to identify crack initiation and propagation.
