Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day

The proposed master thesis focuses on understanding the influence of as-built surface conditions on the Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) behavior of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) printed parts. Currently, LCF testing is performed on smooth specimens that are machined after printing, which does not reflect the real as-built surface characteristics. Surface roughness inherent to the SLM process might significantly reduce LCF life; however, the extent of this effect remains unknown. This research aims to quantify the impact of as-built surface roughness on fatigue performance, providing valuable insights for design and manufacturing of additively manufactured components.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Conduct a comprehensive literature review on LCF behaviour of additively manufactured metals and the role of surface roughness.

• Characterize surface roughness and correlate it with fatigue life.

• Develop recommendations for improving fatigue life predictions of as-built SLM components.

What You Bring

• Currently enrolled in a master's program in mechanical engineering, materials science, or a related field.

• Strong background in fatigue analysis, materials characterization, and mechanical testing.

• Familiarity with additive manufacturing processes, particularly SLM.

• Experience with data analysis tools and statistical methods.

• Good problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
