Thesis: Investigation of sintering effects in laser powder bed fusion processes
vor 2 Wochen
The Chair of Laser Technology LLT at RWTH Aachen University, together with the cooperating Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, is Europe's leading centre for basic and contract research in the field of laser technology. In close co-operation with partners from industry and research, the Fraunhofer ILT is working, among other things, on the further development of the additive manufacturing process Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M ). With PBF-LB/M, metallic components with almost any complex geometry can be additively manufactured using a layer-by-layer structure. The versatile range of applications includes components in the automotive industry, aerospace and medical technology.
What you will do
- You analyse the effects of high temperatures on materials susceptible to cracking
- With your support, a fully sintered powder bed is created
- You will analyse how sintered powder influences spatter formation during the PBF-LB/M process
- Your results contribute to the stability of the PBF-LB/M process
What you bring to the table
- You are a student of industrial engineering, mechanical engineering or a related degree programme
- You support our dynamic team with your independent and autonomous way of working
- Initial knowledge of materials science as well as heat and mass transfer is an advantage for you
- Good German and English skills enable you to communicate effectively with international partners
What you can expect
Team spirit: Creative, interdisciplinary environment with a motivated team, flat hierarchies and a "you" culture.
Workplace: Excellent machinery and equipment as well as first-class office facilities.
Co-creation: Practice-oriented final thesis in an innovative applied research environment.
Work-life balance: Benefit from flexible working hours on a trust basis.
Advantages: Opportunity to benefit from exciting corporate benefits.
Travel: Good transport connections, parking spaces directly in front of the institute, an e-charging station and a parking garage.
The position is temporary until completion of the final thesis.
We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled people are given preference if they are equally qualified.
