The audience was offered a wide range of technical presentations. In the field of surface technology, for example, Mehmet Ali Gümüskesen from the Clausthal Research Center for Energy Storage Technologies presented how femtosecond lasers can be used to control the wetting properties of titanium for heat exchanger applications. In another contribution by Mareike Benedde from the Institute of Materials Science at Leibniz Universität Hannover, the production of yttrium oxide coatings using plasma spraying as wear protection for the semiconductor industry was presented.
The Department of Solid Mechanics at Clausthal University of Technology was represented with three presentations. Jendrik-Alexander Tröger, for example, presented the identification of the thermal conductivity tensor from full-field temperature measurements in unidirectional fiber-reinforced plastics. A further contribution by Lutz Müller-Lohse focused on the application of specific mathematical functions in the strain analysis of geometries produced using additive manufacturing.
From a manufacturing perspective, other presentations were dedicated to the topic of additive manufacturing, such as Sven Hampel from the Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, who used 3D printing to produce metal-containing polymer layers as reference samples for micro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy; or Silvia Imrich from the Institute of Welding Technology and Separating Manufacturing Processes, who presented solutions for additive manufacturing of refractory metals using tungsten intergas welding.
The Clausthal Executive School (CES) also introduced itself as an institution of Clausthal University of Technology. The CES offers further education courses with an interdisciplinary focus for professionals.
