Prediction tool for plasma nitriding results
In a joint project between the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) and the Chair of WOT at Chemnitz University of Technology, a forecasting tool for plasma nitriding results has been developed for twelve steel grades to date, which, in addition to a broad database of nitriding results, also offers a software-based prediction trained via an artificial neural network.The IGF project IGF 18741 BG entitled "Prediction tool for plasma nitriding processes for the surface treatment of tools and components" of the German Society for Electroplating and Surface Technology was funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy via the German Federation of Industrial Research Associations "Otto von Guericke" e.V. as part of the programme for the promotion of joint industrial research on the basis of a resolution of the German Bundestag.

The WOT professorship at the vocational training centre for technology „August Horch“ in Zwickau
What does materials technology do in product life? This was the question posed by students in a specialised A-level class from Zwickau. In an open school lesson on 12 November 2019, the WOT answered it together with the school class.

WOT researchers significantly involved in the development of an intrinsic hybrid composite
Scientists from the three professorships of Solid Mechanics, Materials and Surface Technology and Materials Science at Chemnitz University of Technology and the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU Chemnitz have designed an intrinsic hybrid composite for crash-loaded structural components and produced it in a near-series production process.
