PhD in Tribology: Steel Surfaces with Enhanced Tactile Feel9 D8 e$ ? r/ h) p4 J, t1 P; Q2 W" f
Have you ever thought of creating your own surface out of stainless steel? We are looking for pro-active researchers who have that dream and willing to devoting themselves into creating new sheet surface with predefined feel like soft, smooth or silky.

The relative importance of the surface roughness of steel sheet is well recognized by the leading steel manufacturers. It is well known that surface texturing can be used as a means for improving the performance of components exposed to friction and wear. A surface finish with a soft silky feel has a high potential to increase sales within the domestic and automotive appliances domains. While current knowledge on the relation between contact mechanics, tribology and human tactile perception is relatively limited.- U4 e& l4 J# i
/ i% ?7 }! O$ H7 t! P; lThe objective of this PhD project is to produce steel sheet with pre-defined human perception of the surface roughness in an economic, clean and safe way. You are expected to do a combination of advanced predictive simulations and experimental work on skin – roughness interactions, aimed at understanding friction at the interface. A translation to touch is done with panel testing.
