Together with Steffen Brinckmann, Sylvie Descartes and Christian Greiner, we are organizing a session on tribology at Germany's largest materials science conference! You are very welcome to participate. Symposium C11: "Understanding mechanisms of friction and wear across scales and disciplines"

Our three-year doctoral program, in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute and the Ruhr University Bochum, focuses on the development of carbon-free and sustainable metallurgy. The interdisciplinary projects bring together experts from materials science, physics, chemistry and engineering.

Wear resistance of aluminum - In this paper, authors Morteza Abedini and Stefanie Hanke present an innovative method to reinforce aluminum with a nickel-filled anodized porous aluminum oxide layer. Read on to learn more about the experimental details and the results.
