Summary from listing
Atlas Copco is seeking one master's student to conduct a six-month thesis in materials engineering focused on comparing carburizing with nitriding and nitrocarburizing for highly loaded bevel gear components. The project involves literature review, material characterization, hardness and microstructural analysis, residual-stress evaluation, gear testing, failure analysis, and engineering analysis to establish the relationship between surface-treatment characteristics and fatigue performance. The work is based at Atlas Copco's HQ in Sickla, Stockholm, and is intended to support future surface-hardening strategies for industrial tools.
