Research Associate (m/f/d), EG 13 TV-H - in the Department of Metallic Materials
Application Deadline: | 10.10.2019 |
Hiring start date: | 01.12.2019 |
Reader Service Code: | 32652 |
Applications to: |
The position is initially limited until 30.11.2020 as part of the project "Tensile-pressure asymmetry in Fe-Ni-Co-Al-X (X=Nb, Ti, Nb-Ti) shape memory alloys - influence of nanoscale precipitates on the functional properties" (§ 2 para. 1 WissZeitVG). The possibility for doctoral studies is given.
Tasks:
The position holder is expected to focus primarily on the characterization of novel Fe-based shape memory alloys (FGL). FGL are characterized by a high energy density and are therefore of great interest for many economic sectors due to their high lightweight potential. Fe-based FGLs are also ideally suited for large-volume applications and low-cost actuator solutions due to increased cost efficiency compared to conventional FGLs. In this context, the functional properties are very strongly dependent on the microstructure (grain size, configuration of the precipitation particles) and the conversion temperatures that can be set via this. These variables influence each other. In this project, together with a Russian project partner, the influence of different material pretreatment processes on the functional material properties in different chemical compositions will be investigated.
Requirements:
Prerequisite is at least a good scientific university degree in mechanical engineering, materials science or similar with a doctoral degree. Very good computer and English skills are of course required. Extensive knowledge in the field of Fe- and Cu-based shape memory alloys, proven by relevant publications in this field, is mandatory. Extensive knowledge in the field of thermomechanical processing of FGL for targeted microstructure manipulation as well as extensive experience in the field of X-ray phase and texture analysis, including the use of the Rietveld method, is further expected. Knowledge of experimental and measurement techniques, heat treatment strategies, and microstructural and mechanical characterization of metallic materials is required.
Advantageous are:
Basic knowledge in transmission electron microscopy (STEM/TEM).
