Overview
Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group is providing technical advice to the Australian Defence Organisation with respect to the future Australian submarine. In particular, Materials Performance & Structural Integrity in the Maritime Division provides advice concerning the materials performance of the submarine hull steel. One of the material properties that needs to be taken into account is stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility.
Our client, DST Group, is in need of an experienced Materials Engineer. Further research is required to gain a better understanding of SCC testing methods and to optimise the current SCC testing procedure.
Objectives
Undertake a review of the literature and document the findings
Carry out SCC tests using the rising-displacement method
Analyze the test data
Analyze test specimens using fractographic and metallographic methods
Reporting of the test results
Qualifications
Degree in materials engineering, materials science or similar
Experience in materials testing
Ability to work effectively in a team-based environment and make an effective contribution to the team
Ability to work independently
