Postdoctoral researcher in atom probe tomography (APT) supporting the design of green steel with excellent properties
KTH - Royal Institute of Technology
Stockholm, Sweden
Postdoctoral position
The Unit of Properties at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, seeks a postdoctoral researcher for a two year position in atom probe tomography (APT). The Hultgren Laboratory (www.kth.se/hultgrenlab), a central research facility at KTH, placed at the MSE Department, recently established a CAMECA EIKOS-UV APT in the laboratory and this postdoctoral researcher is recruited to further strengthen the APT research on steels. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct their own research relating microstructural features such as precipitation, segregation, impurities and develop a protocol for hydrogen mapping in high strength steels. These aspects are key in developing the next generation green steel. The post-doc will collaborate with other researchers in the Unit and also with industrial partners. Furthermore, the position also means that the postdoctoral researcher will be part of the Hultgren Lab APT team and support other researchers and students with APT expertise on about 10% of their time.
Background
The development of novel high-performance green steels is currently in the limelight due to the necessary transformation towards sustainability. Heavy plate steel is important in tools used e.g. in forming of other materials. However, thick plates suffer from insufficient through-thickness toughness. This challenge becomes even more pronounced in fossil-free steels due to e.g. hydrogen embrittlement (HE), considering that the steels will be exposed to hydrogen in production and emerging applications. Hence, steels must become more resistant towards HE by improving through-thickness properties. This can be achieved efficiently by transitioning from the current trial-and-error based materials development to a computationally guided process. In the present project we will implement our computational materials design framework, including advanced material characterization, to develop an optimized alloy composition and heat treatment for a heavy plate tool steel with unprecedented through-thickness properties. Atom probe tomography is a key part of this work in order to elucidate the effects of precipitation, segregation, impurities and hydrogen on the mechanical properties and to understand process-structure correlations to be able to alleviate certain toughness degradation phenomena. The project will serve as a proof-of-concept for the computationally guided design methodology that we have developed over the past few years. The framework has transformative potential for efficient development of high-performance green steel in general.

Postdoctoral Experimentalist Researcher: Immediate Opening
Northwestern University
Evanston Illinois, USA
There is an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University in the department of materials science and engineering, to perform experimental research on Ni-Cr-Fe-based austenitic heat-resistant alloys with a high Cr content, which are widely used in petrochemical and steam-methane reformer plants and in solid-oxide fuel cells because of their excellent heat- oxidation- and corrosion-resistance. We are using a wide range of state-of-the-art characterization instruments: scanning electron- and transmission electron-microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and atom probe tomography. Additionally, we are employing mean-field calculations (ThermoCalc and Dictra) in parallel with the experimental research, prof. Peter Voorhees, to understand in great depth the microstructures obtained because of different carburization, oxidation, and water vapor treatments, with the aim of improving the current Ni-Cr-Fe-based austenitic alloy. The experimental and simulation approaches complement and supplement one another. Salary will be commensurate with experiences and skill sets.
