New practical course: Thermomechanical material behavior in additive manufacturing and welding

Starting in the upcoming summer semester, a new practical course will be offered at the Chair of Materials Engineering of Additive Manufacturing, which is aimed at students in the master's program. As part of the practical course, the thermomechanical behavior of different metallic materials will be investigated using a welding and forming simulator, the Gleeble 3800-GTC. These experiments and supplementary metallographic analyses are used to…

New Research Group Leader

On 1 September 2020, Nico Hempel joined our team at the Chair of Materials Engineering of Additive Manufacturing. He will set up and lead a research group dealing with the thermomechanical behavior of materials produced for and by Additive Manufacturing. Before coming to Munich, Mr. Hempel worked at TU Braunschweig, where he was involved in the experimental and numerical analysis of welding residual stresses as well as in testing of materials and…
