Offer Description
Innovation in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Systems" (ISOP) is a four-year work programme funded by the Marie Sklodoska-Curie subprogramme of Horizon Europe, whose aim is to undertake cutting edge multidisciplinary research and development to make a step change in understanding and advancing Supercritical CO2 based power generation systems’ technology. This will enable a step change in the role played by power and heat cycles to become major contributors to achieving the 2050 zero emissions targets. ISOP will achieve this goal while providing specialized training for 17 doctoral researchers to help establish the backbone of an important industry.
Within ISOP, Work Package 4 focusses on the advancement of materials for sCO2-based power generation systems addressing different types of materials and their performance under service. Materials to be studied include different metal alloys, metallic components protected by different coatings and metallic parts fabricated by additive manufacturing.
This job offer (DC14) aims: 1) To study the performance of a high cost nickel alloy (800H) and to compare it with that of stainless steel (316L) in supercritical CO2 at temperatures around 650°C. (2) To study the processes of formation of protective corrosion scales and the respective mechanisms; (3) to carry out a comparative corrosion resistance assessment based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy complemented with microscopic studies. (4) to create a set of guidelines to better select corrosion resistant alloys for sCO2. (5) To investigate the possibilities of additive manufacturing technologies for stainless steel (or other alloys) for HX purposes in sCO2. (6) To investigate design limitations related to different additive manufacturing technologies for the purpose of the HX applications.
More details about this job offer can be found in the Recruitment Fiche https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JK7jaYSO07yJkdqp7JWggi8ff1XgrnzW?usp=share_link
