Materials engineer from Kassel honored for poster

Julia Richter receives an award for a poster at the congress "Material Science and Engineering (MSE)" 2022. The research associate at the Institute of Materials Engineering - Metallic Materials under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Niendorf is working on 3D printing.

The poster is entitled: "Direct design of microstructure and mechanical properties of CrMnNi steels by laser powder bed fusion enabled by variation of chemical composition". With this, Julia Richter won in the category "Structural Materials".

In her project in the field of additive manufacturing (also known colloquially as 3D printing), the young scientist, in collaboration with project partners at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, was able to achieve customized mechanical properties through a targeted alloy design using a variation of the nickel content. This not only resulted in different strengths, but also in altered deformation behavior. At the same time, process-related damaging stresses inside the samples were reduced. In total, more than 200 poster contributions were submitted on a wide range of topics in materials science and engineering.

This year's MSE was held in Darmstadt from September 27-29 with over 1,000 participants from 43 countries. It is organized by the German Society for Materials Science (DGM) and is one of the largest English-language congresses in the field of materials science and engineering in Europe.
