WOT takes the next step in the development of metal powders
The new powder atomisation plant at the Chair makes it possible to adapt powder materials to specific applications, customer requirements and manufacturing process profiles. And, of course, the new plant will significantly expand our profile in basic research. Due to their versatile properties and processing options, metal powders have a wide range of technical applications, from the automotive to the electronics industry.

Successful combined teaching and learning concept of the WOT professorship celebrates its 5th anniversary
As part of the "Metallic Materials" course for students on the primary school teaching degree programme, a practical course for primary school classes has been taking place for five years now. The speciality here is that the student teachers plan and carry out the practical course themselves. This creates a completely new space for initial practical experience in the fields of materials and mechanical engineering - for both the students and the primary school pupils.
