Jobbannons

We want to be more! The research institute Swerim conducts needs-based industrial research and development concerning metals and their route from raw material to finished product. Swerim has 200 co-workers in two locations in Sweden - Luleå and Stockholm. Our vision is a fossil-free and circular industry.

Project Description: What happens when internal engine parts get in contact with hydrogen gas?

Study on the performance of metals in contact with hydrogen:

• Hydrogen embrittlement - fracture of components

For this project the following methods will be used:

• Characterisation of materials (carbon steel) by LOM/SEM
• Exposure in H2 to simulate service conditions
• Hydrogen quantification by TDMS / H-permeation
• Correlation of alloy type (microstrcture, composition) with hydrogen uptake depending on service conditions (T, P, gas composition)
• Suggestion of best materials for specific engine parts in H2-combustion engines

Qualifications

We are looking for a curious and collaborative Master of Science student with a passion for Materials science and research. Someone who feels comfortable working in the lab, analyzing and interpretating data, responsible, independent, fast learner, and very motivated.

Project time

The project is intended for a master thesis (30hp). The start date is Q1 2026 or can be mutually decided through negotiations.

Further information

This project is intended to be performed at Swerim in Stockholm. Swerim rewards the student with 50 000 SEK for an approved master thesis (30hp).
