Workshop at the Auerbach Goethe-Gymnasium learning camp
From 30 March to 1 April 2022, around 30 pupils took part in the learning camp at Goethe-Gymnasium Auerbach in Vogtland, Saxony. In one part of the workshop, scientists from the Chair of Materials and Surface Technology supervised experiments on electrochemical and thermal oxide layer formation on titanium substrates under the theme "Highly exciting and hot as fire".

IGF research project "OptiGrain“ successfully completed
The aim of the completed research project IGF - 20.588 BR was the "Optimisation of the carbide grain size in WC-Co(Cr) coatings to increase the wear resistance with simultaneous corrosive stress". The result of the project with the short title "OptiGrain" is the adaptation of the established WC-10Co4Cr coatings to changed requirement profiles compared to the time of their development.

New IGF project "GaGoKom" launched
Since the end of last year, the Chair of Materials and Surface Technology has been working together with Prof Frank Köster's Surface/Electroplating Technology working group at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences to replace cyanide in gold electroplating with alternative complexing agents. The project is supported by 16 industry-related specialist companies on the project committee.

IWW takes over animal sponsorship
In the new year 2022, the IWW professorships will take over an animal sponsorship at Chemnitz Zoo. The initiators were the last of our doctoral students who suggested a sustainable use of internal gift collections. The sponsored animal is therefore now - and hopefully for a long time to come - a steppe fox.

Transdisciplinary dialogue „humans, technology and AI“
The 2nd Transdisciplinary Dialogue "Humans, Technology and AI" took place on 15.11.2021. Two short presentations by Dr Rudolf Seising (Deutsches Museum Munich) and Dr Uwe Haas (Roboconsult Munich) provided impetus for the subsequent discussion among the approximately 80 participants. The transdisciplinary dialogue is organised and hosted by the Chair of General Psychology I and Human Factors in cooperation with the Chair of WOT.

Awarded – Bachelor's thesis honoured with the DGO Young Talent Award
The German Society for Electroplating and Surface Technology has been honouring outstanding work in the field of surface technology for 30 years. This is also the case in 2021, albeit without the usual ceremonial setting. This year, Luisa Schottstedt, a student on the Medical Engineering degree programme at Chemnitz University of Technology, received the DGO Young Talent Award for her bachelor's thesis on electrodeposited iron base layers in medical technology, which she completed at the WOT professorship.
