Phd on advanced atomization for metal powder production

PhD on Advanced Atomization for Metal Powder Production

Are you passionate in playing a role in sustainable energy transition and manufacturing by developing innovative technologies for metal powder production? Do you enjoy applying both experimental and computational approaches to solve complex fluid dynamics challenges?

Functieomschrijving

We are looking for a talented PhD candidate to join our research team focused on

advanced atomization

processes for producing high-quality metal powders. This project will combine

physical experiments

and

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling

to deepen our understanding of the atomization process-a crucial step in powder metallurgy (PM) and additive manufacturing (AM).

Project description

The production of metal powders for PM and AM requires high sphericity, uniform particle distribution, and optimal size characteristics. Molten metal atomization is the key process that transforms molten material into fine, spherical particles using high-velocity jets.
