Material Safety, Quality Assurance and Failure Analysis in Practice

The university internship "Hydrogen in Metals" will take place at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum from March 19 to 20, 2025. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Pohl and Dr.-Ing. Jens Jürgensen will be the scientific directors. The speakers include renowned experts from research and industry.

Here are some reasons why your company will benefit from in-depth knowledge in this field:

The little devil, hydrogen: Understand how hydrogen penetrates metals and what material-specific factors influence embrittlement. Testing for hydrogen effects plays a critical role. Learn measurement and testing methods for hydrogen analysis and mechanical testing of materials under the influence of hydrogen.

Hydrogen embrittlement under stress: Learn about anodic and cathodic stress corrosion cracking and evaluate the specific behavior of steels. The specifics of pressurized hydrogen applications are also essential. Gain practical knowledge of materials and test methods for high-pressure equipment design.

Corrosion-resistant coatings and welds also present challenges. Recognize the risks of anti-corrosion coatings and welds and take appropriate measures to prevent damage.

Hydrogen induced damage is a problem in many areas of engineering. Investigate hydrogen-induced fracture phenomena using comparative fractures and learn about real cases of damage in mechanical engineering.

In practical damage analysis exercises, you will work in groups to process and solve real cases of hydrogen-induced damage. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your specific application or problem with experts.

Take advantage of this opportunity to advance your company's technology and gain a competitive edge!
