This internship is part of a research line of the Engineering and Technology of materials and Manufacturing research group. This group have a long experience in manufacturing processes and analysis as well as tribological characterization of light alloys and additive manufacturing materials.
In particular additive manufacturing materials usually present different behaviors compared to casting of forging materials. These differences also apply to tribological behavior, which is not completely characterized.
During this internship the student will learn about material characterization in the tribological field. The student will develop a methodology to perform tribological tests and wear characterization. Results will be analyzed using data analysis techniques and critical thinking. Finally, the work developed will be presented to the tutor in an oral presentation to improve communication skills.
Sample preparation for tests. Cleaning and polishing processes.
Performance of Tribological test, reciprocating or pin on disk tests.
Analysis of the wear behavior of Additive Manufacturing materials. Wear measurement and characterization.
Research, document and data management and analysis, collaboration, critical thinking, oral communication.
