Meeting on current topics of the AWT FA 16 "Sustainability and Efficiency". The meeting is held in compliance with the AWT's antitrust regulations.

Hybrid session with presentations and technical discussion of current component cleaning topics. The event will be hosted by Härterei Gerster AG. Non-binding guest participation is possible.

In many areas of thermochemical heat treatment of steel, carbonitriding has emerged as a process for highly stressed components, in particular for components subjected to overrolling or comparable loads. In the past, carbonitriding was mainly used to increase the hardness or hardenability of unalloyed steels. For this purpose, a fixed percentage of ammonia was added to a carburizing atmosphere at relatively low temperatures of approx. 870 °C. The ammonia was added to the carbonitrided steel.

The meeting of the AWT Technical Committee 11 "Quenching" will take place at the Hardening Congress in Cologne. Among other things, reports will be given on the research project "Polymer Quenching II", which is being accompanied by Prof. Fritsching and Dr. Lübben from Leibniz-IWT Bremen.

Topics of the technical committee Future perspectives of quality assurance, assistance for quality assurance in the hardening shop. ISO 20431 - Heat treatment - Control of quality

In-depth knowledge of the mechanisms and material science processes involved in bainitizing. The aim of this seminar is not only to impart basic knowledge of materials technology, but also to demonstrate process engineering, quality assurance and application by means of component examples, starting with the fundamentals.

Lightweight construction is a key issue in transportation and mechanical engineering in order to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions and increase payload or range. Effective lightweight design can only be achieved through cooperation between materials engineering, design, dimensioning and production technology. Aluminum alloys are frequently used as lightweight materials. Compared with other lightweight materials, aluminum has advantages in terms of processability, cost and recyclability.

In dem Seminar wird ein vertieftes Grundlagenwissen über alle relevanten Randschichthärteverfahren vermittelt. Unsere Referenten aus Industrie und Forschung geben einen fundierten Einblick in die theoretischen Grundlagen des Randschichthärtens. Darüber hinaus bietet Ihnen unser Praxisteil nützliche Informationen zur optimierten Wärmebehandlung beim Randschichthärten. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die Themen „Entstehungsmechanismen von Verzügen“ und „Prozessauslegung mit Hilfe numerischer Berechnung“ gelegt. Eine kurzfristige Anmeldung ist noch möglich!

The seminar teaches the basics of metallography and explains the general relationships between the various structural elements and their properties. Both the mode of operation and the imaging methods in the light and electron microscope are discussed.

Overview of tool steels for cold and hot forming and plastics processing. Teaching of the basic material science relationships. Practical implementation and consideration of damage mechanisms.

Relationships between production, degree of purity and component properties. Measurement and evaluation methods of the macroscopic and microscopic degree of purity - Test standards
