PhD Scholarship at Cranfield University’s Centre for Energy and Resource Technology
Doosan Power Systems E.ON Engineering Ltd Rolls-Royce plc Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd University of Bristol Loughborough University University of Nottingham Currently fireside corrosion and high temperature corrosion are studied independently from one another. Recently however, this mindset has been challenged as operating conditions for heat exchangers become increasingly extreme, requiring the use of Ni-based materials. The successful applicant will explore the corrosion mechanism for both groups of materials, using the Centre’s range of corrosion test and analysis facilities to investigate damage experienced by a wide range of state-of-the-art alloys.
