WOT excursion to Sachsen Guss GmbH
On 27 September 2023, the employees of the WOT professorship were able to experience a first-class excursion. We spent three hours at Sachsen Guss GmbH and learnt a lot about the special features, outstanding properties and potentials of modern cast iron alloys that still need to be exploited. The tour of the production halls opened the eyes of some of our scientists to what really matters in processes on an industrial production scale.
