The article, published in the journal “Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures”, deals with the processability and the influence of heat treatment on electrical conductivity, microstructure and mechanical properties of a CuCrZr alloy produced by laser-based powder bed fusion  (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ffe.13527).

"I am very pleased about this award and the recognition of our work by the scientific community and would like to thank all co-authors for their contribution to this excellent collaboration," says Thomas Wegener. "Research on additive manufacturing processes of copper alloys has great potential to significantly advance materials research and industrial manufacturing. It is great to see that our results are generating such strong interest in the community."

The "Most Cited Paper Award" underlines the high scientific relevance of a work and the continuing interest in the results. Wiley Publishing awards this prize to publications that achieve an exceptionally high level of attention in the research community within a short period of time.
