• POST DOCTORAL POSITION IN HIGH TEMPERATURE CORROSION AT THE FRENCH CORROSION INSTITUTE

  Post-Doc 18m

  Scope of the work:

  This work is intended to address the CI corrosion domain (500-650°C). The work will be particularly focused on:

  - The effect of metallurgical ageing

  - The effect of alloy pre-oxidation, through its impact on the first and secondary stages.

  The composition of the superficial layers developed, depends on the atmosphere, on the alloy composition and microstructure. Little is known about the combined effect of these factors on alloy behavior on the long term (1000 hours and more).

  Different commercial alloys will be considered in the study, with different Ni, Cr, Fe, Si contents. The test conditions (atmosphere composition, salt contamination) will be selected on the basis of literature, to obtain relevant results and bring additional knowledge and understanding of the different interactions mentioned above.

  Location

  The experimental work will be conducted in a new laboratory located in the Lyon area (Solaize – 69) but the post-doctoral researcher who will be hired could be partly based also on the Saint-Etienne site (Fraisses-42), located at 40 minutes by car from Solaize.

  After completion of the post-doctoral work, under a fixed term contract of 18 months, a permanent position could be proposed to the selected applicant with aim to develop the HT-Corrosion activity at the French Corrosion Institute.

  Your profile

  You are a PhD graduate with already a background in high temperature corrosion or high temperature characterization of metallic materials and, ideally, in thermodynamical calculations. Since the work will be conducted in a new lab still under development, you are self-motivated with an entrepreneur spirit. These skills are keys to succeed in this work and in your future position at the institute if you are hired after this project to lead the high temperature corrosion activity. You have an excellent customer relationship and eager to develop a technical activity. You speak French and english fluent is required for this position.

  Please send your application with a list of your scientific papers to both:

  - Christophe Mendibide: christophe.mendibide@institut-corrosion.fr

  - Rikard Norling: rikard.norling@ri.se

• Mineral Scaling and Mechanical Stresses on Geothermal Corrosion

  Post-Doc, 18m starting Nov 2021

  Project description:

  The postdoctoral position will take place in the frame of the GeoSteelCor project (2021-2025), funded by the French agency ANR. The project partners are INSA-Lyon (MATEIS Labooratory), Ecole des Mines de St-Etienne (Georges Friedel Laboratory) and Institut de la corrosion (St Etienne site) associated through the CorTEx platform. The project concerns the study of the durability of materials in geothermal systems, in particular the study and understanding of corrosion in such environments. This project should thus contribute to the development of geothermal energy as a promising way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in global energy production. Due to the high corrosivity and scaling ability of geothermal fluids, selecting proper metallic materials is a big challenge for its reliable development. One of the leading scientific issues of the project is the understanding of the crack initiation and propagation mechanisms in the confined space at the mineral scale/steel interface. The new experimental platform CorTEx gives a unique chance to reproduce the temperature and pressure range of geothermal plants (up to 300 °C and 200 bar). Advanced electrochemical, and local post-mortem tests will be performed for a more in-depth knowledge of the under-deposit corrosion and cracking mechanisms. The main issue of the project is the implementation of innovative and efficient material solutions to increase the safety and reliability of geothermal energy production.

  Candidate profile:

  The candidate may have a strong background in surface science and engineering, but knowledges in corrosion. He or she will ideally have skills in electrochemical techniques and physicochemical characterization (surface analysis). The candidate will have English writing and project work abilities.

   

  Laboratory: INSA LYON, MATEIS UMR CNRS 5510 Laboratory, CorrIS group, 69621 Villeurbanne cedex, France
