Lecture: "Failure analysis on metallic materials - The culprit is not always the heat treater" Speaker: Dr. Andree Irretier, Bremen

Sitzung zu aktuellen Themen des AWT-FA 20 - Sensorik, Digitalisierung und Datenanalyse.

Event of the Ortenau Hardening Circle. Lecture: "Errors before, during and after heat treatment" Dr. Peter Sommer Werkstofftechnik

Catch up on the latest developments in heat treatment and materials technology! At this half-day event, AWT experts will speak on the following topics: "Energy efficiency in heat treatment", Dirk Joritz, Ipsen International GmbH; "Machine learning and artificial intelligence as an extension of modern process control systems", Mike Loepke, Nitrex UPC-MARATHON; "Warpage of case-hardened components from a heat treatment perspective", Prof. Daniel Fuchs, Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences; "Induction technology - basics and practical examples", Veit Trautmann, Steremat Induktion GmbH; "Plasma nitriding: Simple & efficient from individual parts to large-scale production", Kirsten Baston, ELTROPULS Oberflächenveredelung GmbH

Case hardening, i.e. the combination of carburizing and hardening, is the process of choice when it comes to achieving maximum strength. In order to use case hardening sensibly and to be able to compare different process variants with each other, basic knowledge of materials and process engineering is required. This seminar focuses on gas and low-pressure carburizing.

The seminar teaches the basics of metallography and explains the relationships between the various structural elements and their properties.

The practical seminar teaches the basics of technical heat treatment and its processes. Participants should gain an understanding of how to select and assess suitable heat treatment processes, recognize the limits and errors and understand the effects on the functionality or failure of components and apply them in practice.
