Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Oak Ridge, TN
Requisition Id 17401 Overview: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct residual stress characterization resultant from advanced manufacturing processes by Engineering Diffraction. This position resides in the Engineering Diffraction Group within the Engineering Diffraction and Imaging Section, Neutron Scattering Division, Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The selected candidate will work in a highly collaborative environment with teams in the Neutron Sciences Directorate, the Physical Sciences Directorate, and the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. The candidate will use neutron diffraction to characterize residual stress in materials made by additive manufacturing and advanced joining methods. The research will focus on using neutron diffraction to measure residual strain and stress in additively manufactured and joined alloys. The candidate will relate these measurements to processing conditions, microstructure,...
