Congratulations to our long-time employee Lennart Leich, who successfully completed his PhD on June 09, 2022.
From May 22 to 25, 2022, the conference "New Frontiers in Materials Design for Laser Additive Manufacturing" was held at Montabaur Castle in Rhineland-Palatinate as part of SPP2122 (New Materials for Additive Manufacturing). The LWT was represented by four participants and presented first results from a research project jointly conducted with the IAPK of RWTH Aachen University.
Hydrogen fuel presents a promising route towards a carbon-free energy source for vehicles – but the technology still faces challenges relating to storage. The paper „Exploring Steel Alloys for Hydrogen Storage Technology“ studies the capabilities and limitations of specialised steel alloys for heavily stressed components in high-pressure hydrogen storage systems.
The second funding phase of the DFG Priority Program 2122 (Materials for Additive Manufacturing) was officially launched with a kick-off meeting in Essen on March 28, 2022.
