Overview
This project will investigate the performance of steel friction stir welds on equipment subjected to gigacycle fatigue loading conditions with a view towards future industrial implementation. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver novel research as part of a vibrant research group and closely collaborate with an industrial sponsor.
Eligibility
Candidates must have a first-class Honours degree or merit-level postgraduate degree in a relevant subject.
This will be a detailed experimental investigation, consisting of microstructural characterisation and mechanical property testing (including ultrasonic fatigue testing) research tasks aiming to assess, develop and ultimately optimise relevant process parameters.
Participating in this project offers additional benefits including travel (UK and abroad), significant (engineering and soft) skills-building activities, networking and reporting to a wider group and the industrial sponsor, accessing and working with unique pieces of equipment.
