Number: MER00048AG In the field of joining technology and production processes, we are engaged in the development and optimization of innovative production processes for future vehicle generations. A special focus is on the research and development of laser beam welding methods for applications in electromobility. We analyze processes, materials and quality assurance processes to meet the requirements of modern electrical drive systems in terms of efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness. For this demanding and future-oriented task area, we are looking for a final work in the field of laser beam welding of components for alternative drives. Your tasks in detail: Investigation of the influencing factors on the process stability during laser beam welding of identical and mixed connections Analysis and evaluation of the boundaries of current laser beam welding processes Conducting experiments to expand and optimize existing welding processes Detailed analysis and evaluation of the quality of welded joints produced with suitable system technology Analysis of current developments in the field of laser beam sources and welding optics Evaluation of the use of optical coherence tomography for process monitoring and quality analysis Documentation, evaluation and presentation of the findings What you expect: Working on current questions in the context of electromobility Insights into modern manufacturing and joining technologies in the automotive industry Use of cutting-edge laser and measuring technology Close cooperation with experienced experts from research and development Possibility to introduce your own ideas and scientific approaches into an innovative work environment Practical completion with high relevance for future vehicle technologies The activity can begin from March 2027. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us.
