About This Opportunity
Delft University of Technology is recruiting a PhD candidate to investigate hydrogen-induced degradation and fracture in circular steels. The project experimentally studies hydrogen embrittlement in recycled steels using advanced microstructural characterisation, in-situ hydrogen mechanical testing and fracture analysis. It aims to link hydrogen trapping and transport to microstructure and fracture behaviour within the CIRHY programme.
