The 59th Metallography Conference will take place from October 8 to 10, 2025 in Bochum. The hybrid event concept makes it possible to participate in presence and via live stream or to access individual contributions on-demand afterwards. The organizers invite the submission of contributions (presentations and posters) by 31.03.2025. Young scientists in particular are encouraged to contribute to the conference.
From 26-28 February 2025, the 13th “Microstructure and Fracture” conference took place at Montanuniversität Leoben, following a long tradition of alternating between MUL and RUB. Recognized scientists from the field of materials science and materials engineering presented the latest findings from their research work in more than 30 lectures, while young scientists presented themselves in an accompanying poster exhibition.
Jakob Lensing, student assistant at the Chair of Materials Engineering, was awarded 2nd prize in the Dörrenberg StudienAward for his student research project on setting the martensite starting temperature. We congratulate Jakob on this success and the prize money of 2500 €.
We congratulate our employee Louis Becker, who successfully completed his doctoral procedure on “Widening the potentials of laser powder bed fusion of nitrogen alloyed stainless steels” on February 5, 2025.
