Student assistant (m/f/d) in the field of joining and coating technology
With its focus on future-relevant key technologies and the utilization of results in economy and industry, the Fraunhofer Society plays a central role in the innovation process. As a guide and source of inspiration for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it contributes to shaping our society and our future. For over 35 years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology in Berlin has stood for excellence in production science. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between science and practice in the field of industrial production and offer application-oriented system solutions for the entire spectrum of industrial tasks – from product development to the production process, maintenance of capital goods, and recycling of products to the design and management of factory operations. In the field of joining and coating technology, we are opening up new areas of application for interdisciplinary teams in both traditional welding processes and modern beam welding processes, coating technologies, and additive manufacturing. By simulating welding processes as well as distortion and residual stresses, we support the rapid introduction of economical, energy-efficient processes in industry. Our work is focused on designing the joining and coating of new materials and material combinations in line with requirements, increasing the quality and reliability of joints and coatings, and improving processes in terms of productivity, occupational safety, and environmental and resource conservation.
What you will do
As part of a current research project, we are developing a simulation model for resistance spot welding that will represent cracks on the surface of welded structures. These so-called “liquid metal embrittlement” cracks are typical in galvanized automotive steels that are assembled in the car body using resistance spot welding. Representing cracks in the simulation is not trivial and requires a high degree of data understanding, analysis, and programming skills. Your tasks in detail:
