Interdisciplinary DFG project „Method and model development for the simulation of layer thickness distributions on complex shaped components during galvanic layer deposition“
For over a year now, a project at the WOT professorship has been working on using numerical process simulation to minimise both costs and experimental expenses when optimising real galvanic processes. The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) (project number 524933028).

Materials Day 2024
After the great interest last year, the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (IWW) once again organised the "Day of Materials" on 4 June 2024 in sunny weather. With numerous activities and demonstrations, students interested in materials were invited on a varied journey into the world of materials by the institute's staff.

GIGA – Green and intelligent electroplating for the supply of relevant aircraft components based on modular, robot-based electroplating with inline process monitoring
On 9 July 2024, the LuFo project GIGA started with a successful kick-off meeting at Chemnitz University of Technology. The project aims to develop a green and intelligent electroplating process using modular, robot-based electroplating with inline process monitoring. This enables safe and reproducible coating of relevant aircraft components in small and medium batch sizes. The project is supported and funded by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK).

Doctoral seminar 2024 – On the accompanied path to Dr.-Ing.
Once again this year, internal and external doctoral students met at the Chair of WOT from 24 to 26 June 2024 to present the current status of their doctoral project to their supervisor Prof. Thomas Lampke and other experts. The doctoral topics of the 16 young scientists cover a broad scientific spectrum from galvanic and thermal surface technology to bio-based coatings, the mechanical behaviour of high-performance materials and sustainability concepts in materials and surface technology.
