Specific Elmet Technologies Intern Projects for 2026

A. Supporting the process development, documentation and benchmarking the sintering characteristics of tungsten and tungsten heavy alloy for transferring the process into operations. Support encompasses 1) characterization, reporting and logistics, 2) working with internal and external vendors, and 3) establishing powder sintering and mechanical working parameters for achieving the metallurgical characteristics and mechanical properties.   The effort includes documentation and training of production staff. 

B. Supporting the process development, documentation and benchmarking the characteristics of tungsten and molybdenum foils in medical imaging and thermal management applications. Thermal mechanical testing for developing repeatable product/process.  Working with internal operators for mechanical and metallurgical characteristics, including machine parameters for modeling.   Summarizing and reporting findings.

C. Investigate and evaluate measurement methods for verifying key furnaces parameters to optimize time management and insulation health.  Key activities include effective automation, machine learning and AI. Additionally intern engineers will gain experience in working with sensors, regression analysis, data acquisition and industrial automation.

D. Support improvement in hot rolling and powder metallurgy processing of molybdenum and pure tungsten as well tungsten heavy alloy via benchmark characterization via mechanical and metallurgical testing.  Concurrently, establishing productivity opportunities for improving yield and processing. 

E. Development, design and implementation of furnace fixture for internal material processing furnaces with goal of extending life of refractory materials.  Working closely with shop floor for functional designs. Estimated cost savings for justifying an investment.  Both external and internal capabilities will be examined for establishing a baseline for mechanical properties and dimensional capabilities.  The effort includes problem solving and cost reduction trial. 

F. Development support of machining techniques for tungsten.  Experimentation with machining parameters for yielding a cost-effective material removal rate along with improved surface finish.  Evaluations include the effects of geometry and coolants on tool wear will lead to optimization of machining parameters. This project includes running CNC milling tests, data collection, data analysis and metallography.
