Sustainability in Powder Technology Processes workshop scheduled for March
January 16, 2025
The German Ceramic Society (DKG), Köln; Fraunhofer IKTS, Dresden; and Fraunhofer IFAM, Dresden, have announced a jointly sponsored workshop: Sustainability in Powder Technology Processes. The event is scheduled to take place March 25-26.
The ecological, economic, and legal aspects of sustainability are increasingly influencing industrial practice. The workshop will provide an overview based on industrial examples from powder-technological production in Powder Metallurgy and ceramics. It is aimed at industrial users to help them get started with the topic and offer suggestions for their own approach. In addition to the basics of sustainability, documentation options and relevant legal framework will be addressed.
The lecture programme, including numerous contributions from experienced industrialists, also offers space for individual discussions and for tours of the laboratories of the two neighbouring Fraunhofer institutes IKTS and IFAM. Here, the process chains of Powder Metallurgy and high-performance ceramics are shown in their entirety. Besides the equipment for powder preparation, press granulate and feedstock development, numerous shaping systems for conventional and Additive Manufacturing will be available, as well as heat treatment systems and machines for green and hard machining of components. A joint dinner offers the opportunity for an exchange of ideas and further networking.
The workshop will be held in German.
Registration is open here.
