Third-cycle subject: Materials Science and Engineering
At the Unit of Structures, Department of Materials Science, KTH, research is underway to replace cobalt as a binder phase in hard metals for various applications. An important driving force for this research is to contribute to the transition to a more sustainable society.
In the proposed project, studies of how different binder phases in hard metals affect properties of tools for rock drilling will be in focus. The work involves both experimental work and modeling of the connection between structure and properties of hard metals, and is carried out in close collaboration with various industrial parties.
You have a master's degree in materials science or a related field. You are interested in both experiments and modelling, and like problem solving. You can work independently and in a group.
