Master’s Thesis in Materials Science/Manufacturing Technology (f/m/x)

We are searching for a motivated master’s student in the field of materials science or manufacturing technology, ideally from a technical university. The focus of this thesis is on producing crucibles for thermal analysis, taking into consideration its special requirements for best measurement results.

Key Responsibilities:

• Characterization and definition on existing aluminum crucibles on the market from different OEM focusing on material, shape, micro contours, surface characteristics, wall thickness, tolerances, aluminum purity etc.
• Subsequently, define crucible geometries and tolerances to ensure repeatable and reliable DSC results compared to existing market options, proof of concept with state-of-the-art simulations
• Define and explain proper manufacturing processes that guarantee the production of a high number of crucibles with consistent quality
• Investigate capabilities of Anton Paar to implement process with existing machinery
• Set-up of a decision matrix to prepare a make or buy decision

Research Deliverables:

• List of crucible manufacturers worldwide
• Market overview on aluminum crucible types, their relevant specifics and differences to each other
• Definition of the best in class crucible for thermal analysis application
• Simulation model and results
• Overview on manufacturing processes to achieve reliable, repeatable and high-quality crucibles in high numbers
• Decision matrix to prepare a make or buy decision

• Ongoing master’s studies in materials science, manufacturing technology, or a related field.
• Understanding of aluminum processing and simulation tools
• Ability to perform independent research and systematically evaluate technical and commercial feasibility

The employment is based on a work contract. Successfully completing the master’s thesis will be rewarded with a one-time fee of €3.000.
