Key facts

Development and implementation of an algorithm to optimize the heat treatment route of AA2024 with regard to fatigue properties and corrosion resistance, taking particular account of uncertainties in fatigue behavior; independent execution of heat treatments with different temperature-time profiles
Metallographic analysis of microstructure (SEM)
Execution and evaluation of fatigue and corrosion tests
Evaluation of optimized heat treatment routes as well as scientific preparation and documentation of results

Ongoing master's degree in engineering, materials science, physics or a comparable field
Enjoy working closely with an interdisciplinary team of researchers and technical staff
High motivation, independent work style and experimental skill
Knowledge of aluminum alloys, their heat treatment and the underlying mechanisms
First experience with Python is a plus
Very good German and English skills, both written and spoken

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equal opportunities for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees in their personal and professional environment. For this purpose, our numerous further training opportunities are available to you. Equal opportunities are a particular concern for us; we therefore want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applications from severely disabled people are given preference in the case of professional suitability.
