Master Thesis Project – Material Science

Seco in Fagersta is offering a master’s thesis project within the R&D Materials Development group, focusing on the sintering kinetics of recycled cemented carbide. The project combines materials science, sintering behavior, and material properties related to the sintering process. We offer a great workplace with access to state-of-the-art R&D facilities and collaboration with a top-tier research team. You gain valuable experience in materials science, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Electron Backscatter Detector (EBSD) and various materials characterization techniques. Background and scope of the project Circularity in the carbide industry is essential for reducing CO ₂ emissions and lowering costs due to the limited resources of tungsten and cobalt .…
