25th Materials Engineering Colloquium
17th/18th March 2027
The Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (IWW) of Chemnitz University of Technology cordially invites you to the 25th Materials Engineering Colloquium (WTK). You can expect a two-day program with current research topics from the areas of:
-
Surface engineering
(thermal coating and treatment, electroplating, anodizing, …) -
Material development
(high-entropy alloys, high-strength steels and light metals, ultra-fine-grained materials, shape memory alloys, ...) -
Joining and manufacturing technology, additive processes
(soldering, deposition and joint welding, powder metallurgy, metal printing, …) -
Hydrogen Technologies and Sustainable Propulsion Systems
(Fuel cell systems, electrolysers, and related components, …) -
Composites and hybrid materials
(MMC, PMC, CMC, functionalized materials, …) -
Material behavior and analytics
(lightweight construction, material testing, microstructure characterization, fatigue and damage, ...) -
Knowledge- and data-driven modeling and the application of artificial intelligence
(Support for complex, multi-criteria decision-making; modeling of process chains; process-related uncertainties)
The conference language is English, but contributions in German are also permitted.
