WOT field trip to Sachsen Guss GmbH
On 27 September 2023, staff from the WOT Chair were treated to a truly exceptional excursion. We spent three hours at Sachsen Guss GmbH and learnt a great deal about the distinctive features, outstanding properties and untapped potential of modern iron casting alloys. The tour of the production halls opened the eyes of some of our researchers to what really matters in industrial-scale manufacturing processes.
