The invitation to the second public colloquium of IWM/IAPK/DE (Institute of Ceramics Process and Application Engineering/Institute of Ceramics Process and Application Engineering at RWTH University of Aachen) at the Technology Centre at Europaplatz in Aachen/DE was taken up by 85 attendees. Eight external speakers from industry and research, as well as three speakers from IWM … Read more
An overview on material modeling and its methodological diversity is presented. Representative examples of applications to porous and particle-based microstructures are given.
The Institute for Materials Applications (IWM)/DE and the Institute for Applied Powder Metallurgy and Ceramics (IAPK)/DE at the RWTH Aachen e. V./DE work on a “powder-to-product” framework based on numerical simulation. Today, the framework encompasses important steps of the process chain for Powder Metallurgy (PM) and ceramic products including powder filling, sintering, HIP, and lifetime … Read more
Within the Fraunhofer AdvanCer Alliance/DE, four institutes have pooled their capabilities to form a coordinated range of services aimed at using advanced ceramics in the creation of individual system solutions for industrial partners. Below, two examples from the successful project work showing the advantages of advanced ceramics in specific industrial applications are presented.
The demand for multifunctionality and the combination of materials and structures with different properties plays an increasing role for a variety of applications like surgical components, automotive parts or intelligent tools. Material hybrids allow distinctive property combinations like electrical conductivity/insulation, magnetism/non-magnetism, ductility/ hardness or visual appearance with differing colours. In addition, as known from MEMS … Read more
Based on the invention of the first fullcast-ceramic infrared heater, Elstein-Werk was founded in 1950. Since that time, we develop and manufacture ceramic infrared emitters based on own patents, own engineering and production in Germany. Our products are universally applicable and determine worldwide the state-of-the-art. Based on the highest possible quality and performance level, our … Read more
Higher stiffness and hardness as well as better corrosion and abrasionresistance of ceramics are valuable advantages in its use as engineeringmaterial. Its excellent high-temperature resistance offers additionalvalue for various applications. But still technical challenges for ceramicmaterials have to be solved.
Founded by a support association (“Förderverein”), the IAPK is a research institution associated to RWTH focusing on process and application engineering for ceramics and powder metallurgy. Besides doing research in the above areas, the institute offers consulting and other services converning the manufacturing process – from powder through the produced part: design and simulation, powder … Read more
IAPK/DE, the new network partner of CERAMIC APPLICATIONS, is also in process to set-up a permanent exhibition for all partners at the institute in Aachen/DE to promote technical ceramic components for their wide range of application.
FGK (Forschungsinstitut für Anorganische Werkstoffe – Glas/Keramik – GmbH/DE), the new network partner of CERAMIC APPLICATIONS, is also in process to set-up a permanent exhibition for all partners at the institute in Höhr-Grenzhausen/DE to promote technical ceramic components for their wide range of applications.
