Master thesis: Empirical and finite element modelling of hot working

##

Location

Stålforskning 61, Sweden

Are you interested in combining advanced materials science, simulation, and data-driven modeling to solve real industrial challenges?

At Alleima, we are looking for a motivated   Master’s   thesis student to help develop   accurate   models for predicting forces in hot working processes, which is a key to producing high-performance stainless steels and special alloys.

About the Thesis

Hot working is at the core of our production of tubes, bars, and   strip . Processes such as rolling, forging, and extrusion shape materials while simultaneously refining their microstructure through thermo-mechanical processing.   To ensure   optimal   product quality and efficient production, we rely on   accurate   models that can predict process forces, temperature windows, and   feasible   reductions.

The main goal of this thesis is to develop and improve models for predicting process forces during hot   working .   A central part of the work will be to:

-
Use measured industrial process data to fit and   validate   analytical models

-
Develop or calibrate flow stress models, which are essential inputs for force predictions

About You

We are looking for a   curious and motivated   Master’s   student in   Engineering Physics, Materials Science,   Mechanical Engineering, or   a similar field, who is eager to apply theoretical knowledge to real industrial challenges. You have an interest in modelling,   simulation   or data analysis, and enjoy exploring how programming, for example in Python or MATLAB, can be used to understand and solve complex problems. An interest in how materials behave, especially in connection to industrial processes and advanced materials, will help you thrive in this thesis project .

Y ou communicate effectively in English , and   knowledge of Swedish is   considered   a plus.   As a person, you are analytical,   engaged   and willing to learn, with a genuine curiosity for technology,   materials   and problem-solving. We value your personal qualities highly and believe that a proactive mindset, collaboration   skills   and the ability to take responsibility will be important for a successful thesis experience with us.

The location for this project is in Sandviken, Sweden. If   needed   we will help you with housing during your time.
