Project description
This doctoral research project pertains to the tribological issues in forming applications at elevated temperatures and the research work will include: development of high temperature tribological tests; understanding of wear mechanisms encountered in tool-work piece interactions, development of wear mechanism maps and control of friction and wear at elevated temperatures through surface modification technologies.
Qualifications
Applicants must have excellent academic credentials and recently completed their M.Sc or equivalent degrees with specialisation in mechanical engineering, material science and technology or any other closely related subjects. Prior exposure to experimental techniques in tribology and surface analysis is desirable but not a must. The applicants must possess excellent skills in written and spoken English. Knowledge about German/Swedish language will be advantageous.
