Successfully completed doctorate
On 24 September 2020, Dr Pierre Landgraf successfully defended his dissertation entitled "Microstructure and hardness development in the laser beam treatment of high-alloy tool steels". The successful completion of the doctoral programme was again achieved through a combination of face-to-face and online elements.

Completion of the BMBF joint project GALACTIF
The joint project "GALACTIF - New Electroplating Coating Processes from Ionic Liquids" at the Chair of Materials and Surface Technology was completed in the middle of the year. The aim of the joint research project was to use new technical approaches to create the basis for a cost-effective, environmentally friendly coating technology using ionic liquids.

Networked and international – Doctoral seminar at the Chair of WOT
The doctoral seminar, which takes place once a year at the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering, has been supporting young scientists on their path to a doctorate for several years now. From 13 to 15 July 2020, 16 doctoral students took the opportunity to present the progress of their dissertation topic and then answer questions from their supervisor Prof. Thomas Lampke and the interested audience. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seminar took place under different conditions, but was nevertheless a complete success.

A doctoral defence in the times of Corona
Despite the restrictions on everyday university life associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the WOT succeeded in defending her doctorate in accordance with the rules. On 8 July 2020, Lisa Winter's thesis on "Fatigue strength and medium-voltage sensitivity of the alloy AlMgSi1 after highly plastic deformation and anodic or plasma-electrolytic oxidation" convinced the reviewers present as well as the colleagues, friends and family members connected digitally.

Challenge accepted – Digital teaching at the WOT professorship
The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions on everyday university life also pose new challenges for teaching staff in particular. At the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering, a consistent focus was placed on switching to digital teaching right at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis, so that all teaching formats could and can be made available to students in digital form in the 2020 summer semester.

Chemnitz scientists are researching novel surface treatments for high-entropy alloys
Scientists led by Dr Thomas Lindner have been working on the material class of high-entropy alloys (HEA for short) for several years now. Their latest publication on "Surface hardening of FCC phase high-entropy alloy system by powder-pack boriding" in the journal Surface and Coatings Technology is one of the most downloaded articles in this journal.

Junior research group „HEA-SurfProtect“: Surface protection with high-entropy alloys
On 1 January 2020, the ESF junior research group "HEA-SurfProtect" was launched with significant participation from the WOT professorship. This measure is funded by the European Social Fund and co-financed by tax revenue on the basis of the budget approved by the members of the Saxon state parliament.
