hela Sverige We want to be more! The research institute Swerim conducts needs-based industrial research and development concerning metals and their route from raw material to finished product. Swerim has 200 co-workers in two locations in Sweden - Luleå and Stockholm. Our vision is a fossil-free and circular industry.
Project Description:
The project offers an opportunity to a master student to be involved into the field of corrosion science, using electrochemical set-ups in combination with microscopy techniques. The primary goal is to examine corrosion properties of different compositions of low and/or high alloyed steels. The influence of heat treatment/s and modification of microstructure in connection with microfeatures will be tested and evaluate their role to the corrosion resistance of steels.
The Master student will become familiar with different electrochemical methods with the use of a potentiostat in connection with an electrochemical cell, while analysis of the results is expecting. Moreover, the student will become familiar with the use of microscopy such as optical microscopy and SEM.
The thesis work will mainly involve a literature survey, sample preparation, test solution preparation, electrochemical and microscopy measurements. The results should be written and presented at the end of the thesis. The results should also be presented to the industrial partners of the project.
Qualifications:
We are looking for a curious and collaborative Master of Science student with a passion for corrosion, materials science, chemistry engineering, or similar field.
Project time
The project is intended for a Masters' thesis (30hp). Starting date will be in March 2025, or it can be mutually decided after negotiations
Further information
This project is intended to be performed at Swerim in Stockholm. Swerim rewards the student with 50 000 SEK for an approved master thesis (30hp).
