PhD position in Materials Science and Engineering Sweden
PhD position in Materials Science and Engineering, closing date 2008-05-28The PhD will be a part of the Graduate School in Space Technology at Luleå University of Technology.
Project description: Synthesizing and characterization of titanium alloys
The project will focus on a new modification of the well known titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (titanium alloyed with 6 % aluminium and 4 % vanadium), where an addition of a small percentage of boron has been added. The mechanical properties of cast titanium are then increased significantly. The project will start with a thorough literature survey of the relatively new area. A controlled heat-treatment of cast Ti-6Al-4V with and without addition of boron will be performed in order to study how the microstructure and especially grain size will depend on the heat-treatment. The aim is to link the different microstructures with mechanical properties, such as for example tensile- and bending test at ambient, cryogenic or elevated temperatures.
The project will be performed in collaboration with Volvo Aero Corporation, Trollhättan, Sweden.
A candidate should have documented basic knowledge in material science, such as a Master degree in Materials Science (or equivalent degree).
Interested candidates should submit their applications marked with reference number 1380-08, including CV and university transcripts (courses/grades record) to the Registrar, Luleå University of Technology, 971 87 Luleå, or by e-mail to registrator@ltu.se.
Last day of application is: 28th of May, 2008.

I am interested in this research but got the infomation late.I hold an MSc. degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria.
Please advise me on what to do.
Thanks.

I have BEng in Mechanical Engineering in Nigeria and Masters in oil and gas engineering from The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
During my MSc, one of my core module was materials and corrosion and with the knowledge of metallurgy from my undergraduate degree, I develop great interest in metallury, materials and corrosion.
I am aspiring to be a specialist as well as a consultant in the field. Therefore, I am willing to obtain a Phd in the field but looking for a fully- funded Phd programme that could help make this dream become a reality. I am sure this website has been a source of help to so many people and I wish to be enlisted among them.
Please, do give me necessary advise on how to go about it. Many thanks for your anticipated assitance.
Kind Regards

i read mechanical engineering as first degree and metallurgy and material in Msc.i am presently a lecturer at the university of lagos.this is part of my PhD proposal.am looking forward for a full scholarship to do my PhD IN THIS FIELD.
I am graduate in Metallurgy & Material Science Engineering from Pakistan. Now I want to study in M.Sc Material Science in Sweden. Kindly tell me the procedure to get admission in university.
