Assisting with a research project focused on the application of tungsten as a shielding material for employees working with radioactive liquids, such as iodine- and fluorine-containing products.

Within the Technical Services department, research is being conducted into the extent to which thin tungsten plates are suitable as radiation shielding. A major challenge here is bending the material into the desired shape. Previous tests have shown that tungsten springs back strongly after bending, causing sharp corners to be less sharp than desired.

Tungsten plates are available in various thicknesses, ranging from 0.02 mm to 0.4 mm. During this internship, you will investigate the properties of the material and develop guidelines for the predictable and reproducible bending of tungsten.

• Delving into the material properties of tungsten.
• Analyzing results from previously conducted bending tests.
• Investigating the behavior of tungsten at different plate thicknesses, bending angles, and bending radii.
• Substantiating results with theory, calculations, and, where necessary, additional tests.
• Developing practical bending rules for processing tungsten plates.
• Setting up a calculation tool (for example, in Excel) in which plate thickness, bending radius, and bending angle are used as input to predict the expected final result.

• You are pursuing a HBO or WO degree in the direction of Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or similar.
• Interest in material behavior, product development, and technical analyses.
• Experience with Excel; knowledge of data analysis or modeling is a plus.
• You work in a structured, analytical, and independent manner.
• Good command of the Dutch and/or English language.

• Analytically strong
• Curious
• Accurate
• Proactive
• Independent
• Result-oriented
• Team player
