Master’s Thesis in Materials Science/Chemistry (f/m/x)

Are you studying at a technical or scientific university or university of applied sciences and want to apply your knowledge in a hands-on project? Then you’ve come to the right place! Join our agile development team and contribute to the advancement of innovative solutions in measurement technology. Master’s Thesis Title: Development and Characterization of Chemical Fluxes for Oxidation Control in Metal Melts

Responsibilities:

We are looking for a master’s student with a background in chemistry or materials science to join a research project focused on developing chemical fluxes to control oxidation in metal melts, particularly in aluminum and titanium alloys. This thesis addresses innovative solutions to the challenge of rapid oxide formation, which has a significant impact on viscosity measurements and material properties.

Research Objectives:

• Flux Formulation: Develop and synthesize new flux compounds that effectively prevent or minimize oxide layer formation.
• Comprehensive Chemical Analysis: Conduct detailed chemical analyses to investigate the interactions between fluxes and metal melts under high-temperature conditions.
• Proof of Concept and Validation: Evaluate the effectiveness of the fluxes through experimental setups, including viscosity measurements, to demonstrate their practical applicability.

Requirements:

• Ongoing master’s studies in chemistry, materials science, or a related field
• Solid knowledge of inorganic chemistry, with experience in the synthesis and characterization of chemical compounds
• Practical laboratory experience, particularly in high-temperature experiments
• Ability to conduct independent research and a systematic approach to experimental work

We offer you:

The employment is based on a work contract. Successfully completing the master’s thesis will be rewarded with a one-time fee of €3.000.
