Offer Description
The research focuses on validating coatings applied to actual components for domestic hot water production systems, monitoring the detachment of the internal protective enamel using internal optical systems and infrared thermography. The selected candidate will contribute to defining test protocols and accelerated thermomechanical loading and pressurization cycles, preparing components,



and conducting tests on UNIVPM's rapid fatigue test rig. They will process pressure, temperature, and diagnostic data to quantify defect initiation, location, extent, and evolution. Post-test analyses using optical and electron microscopy will help identify cracking, delamination, and corrosion. The candidate will also contribute to calibrating finite element models and integrating experimental and numerical results to assess reliability and operating limits and refine industrial validation protocols.
