| Title | Modelling martensite formation and austenite retention |
| Host institution | Ruukki (part of SSAB), Raahe, Finland |
| Brief description | The overall goal of this project is a model for the formation of lath martensite – austenite mixtures for a general steel composition (within specific limits) and cooling path from austenite during direct quenching. |
| Mobility | 15 month University of Oulu, Finland; 17 month SSAB, Raahe, Finland; 3 month WIAS Berlin, Germany; 1 month EFD, Skien, Norway |
| Supervisory team | David Porter (Oulu University) Pasi Suikkanen (SSAB) |
| Primary qualifications | Master’s degree in Materials Science and basic computing skills |
| Useful further skills | Familiarity with any of Fortran, C, C++, Python and Matlab is an advantage |
