Materials Science Modified Tempering Summer

**Overview of Responsibilities**:
**The Role**
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference? Join our team and contribute to the future of fusion energy.
Studying the effect of modified tempering temperatures for new boron-strengthened steels. New boron-strengthened reduced activation ferritic martensitic (BRAFM) steels have been developed as part of the Materials Science and Engineering team metallic programme. These steels are intended for use as high-temperature structural materials within the breeder blanket of a fusion plant. The new alloys have been designed with varying boron additions, which will alter the tempering parameters (primarily temperature) required to produce an optimised end-product microstructure and resultant mechanical performance. In this project the student shall perform the tempering on rolled BRAFM plate, and perform subsequent microstructural characterisation and hardness tests to establish the effects of these tempering steps on resultant material properties. These results will be reported back to the alloy design team, and ultimately inform on final parameters required to scale this steel up to industrially-relevant sizes.
We offer excellent opportunities for motivated and enthusiastic undergraduate students studying at UK Universities to join our 8-12-week summer placement scheme. The scheme is designed for students entering their penultimate or final year of studies, with potential opportunities post-graduation.
Our scheme gives you a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of one of the most advanced sources of sustainable and clean energy. During your summer programme, you will experience a broad range of diverse tasks, work on real projects, and gain invaluable experience within the fusion energy sector. UKAEA offers a nurturing and supportive community for you to gain some valuable work experience in a fascinating and rapidly evolving industry.
