Thesis: Production of porous structures using 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
- With us, you will research materials and components with defined porosity for modern applications
- Your analysis includes hydrogen production and its utilisation
- You will develop customised solutions by adapting the pore structure in all three spatial dimensions
- In your work, you will investigate the generation of statistically distributed microporosity for specific components
What you bring to the table
- You are a student of industrial engineering, mechanical engineering or a comparable engineering degree programme
- You enjoy working independently and on your own responsibility
- Initial knowledge of materials science and design theory is an advantage for you
- Good German and English skills are essential for communication within the team and 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.
