Lediga jobb som Forskarassistenter m.fl. i Fagersta

Composite materials consisting of a hard ceramic phase, traditionally tungsten carbide, and a ductile metallic binder phase, most often Cobalt, are generally called hard metals or cemented carbide. Cemented carbides are manufactured through a powder metallurgy processing route - wet milling, spray draying, compaction, and sintering.
Cemented carbide has an attractive combination of properties with high hardness and toughness. To tailor the properties needed for the application e.g. grain size and binder content can be adjusted. Furthermore, additional elements and/or phases can be added to improve the desired properties in new material designs.
Job Description
In this project, you will be investigating new material designs for cemented carbides to further improve the properties of the cemented carbide by adding or replacing different raw materials. In detail, you will investigate the influence of different alloying elements to tailor the desired properties. Within a given test space, design a test matrix, manufacture test batches of material, with our production and innovation lab. Analyse the material with methods e.g., light optical microscopy and electron microscopy. Most of the work will be carried out in a lab environment and it will largely be carried out independent on your own
Evaluate the material and analyse phases / microstructure of the cemented carbide.
You will be trained an independently working a scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Finally, the work will be presented both orally and in writing.
Your Profile
You are preferably a master’s student within the field of Materials Science, Physics or Chemistry. Previous experience of lab work is meritorious. Since we are a global business, you have excellent communication skills in English, both in writing and in speaking.
All Seco employees across the globe share our family spirit, along with a passion for our customers and a personal commitment to what we do. For us, it is also clear that our diversities form the best foundation for achieving great results.
Extent
The summer technology period includes 12 weeks, start beginning of June.
The location is Fagersta.

Your mission
You will contribute to an ongoing cross functional project at Seco Tools between R&D and production. You will be a part of developing and evaluating alternative ways of quality control in several different production steps, from powder to compacted cemented carbide inserts, before and after sintering. The work will mainly be in Seco Tools’ R&D lab facilities in Fagersta using several different characterization methods. Depending on interest, some parts can also be in production environment.
At the end of the summer, the work will be presented both orally and in writing.

Seco Tools är en ledande tillverkare av produkter inom skärande metallbearbetning och tillsammans med våra kunder utvecklar vi morgondagens lösningar. Vi en företagskultur som symboliseras av genuin familjeanda och ett personligt engagemang i våra kunders vardag. Vår starka värdegrund ger oss också en gemensam syn på verksamheten vilket förenar våra medarbetare över både geografiska och kulturella gränser.
Bakgrund och syfte med uppdraget
Det första och viktiga processteget i vår hårdmetalltillverkning är tillverkningen av pulver – där pulvret både våtmals och spraytorkas. Mycket är fortfarande outforskat när det gäller dessa processer och det krävs en djupare förståelse av pulvrets egenskaper för att nå syftet med att öka både utbyte och granulkvalitet. Här läggs den viktiga grund som resterande processteg i tillverkningskedjan bygger vidare på.
Arbetsbeskrivning
Det här projektet handlar om att karaktärisera pulver. Arbetet kommer till större delen att utföras i Materiallaboratoriet inom R&D på Seco Tools i Fagersta. Det är ett mycket självständigt arbete i labbmiljö och det kommer till stor del att utföras på egen hand. Pulverkaraktärisering innebär att med hjälp av lämplig metod analysera en större mängd prov och utvärdera resultatet för att öka förståelsen för olika parametrars inverkan. Arbetet innebär både muntlig och skriftlig avrapportering.
Din profil
Vi söker dig som studerar inom områdena kemi, materialvetenskap, fysik eller på annat sätt har erfarenhet av arbete med pulveregenskaper. Det är en fördel om du har arbetslivserfarenhet från ett labb och likaså om du har en större del av din utbildning avklarad - men inget av dessa är ett krav. Dock behöver du tala och skriva obehindrat på svenska.
Omfattning
Sommarteknologperioden omfattar 12 veckor och det finns utrymme för ytterligare tid om det är möjligt. Placeringsorten är Fagersta.
På Seco är vi övertygade om att mångfald leder till en bättre omgivning för våra anställda, vårt företag och våra kunder och vi ser fram emot att träffa dig!
