From May 31 to June 4, international scientists gathered in Mumbai for the 45th “International Deep Drawing Research Group Conference” (IDDRG) to present the latest research findings and developments in the field of forming technology.
The Chair of Forming Technology (LUF) was represented this year by research associate Ansgar Nordieker-Voß. In his presentation, he shared research findings on quenching during joining with adaptive friction elements, which were developed as part of the DFG Collaborative Research Center TRR285. His presentation sparked important discussions within the professional community and generated significant interest among the participants.
With Mumbai as the host city, the conference took place in one of India’s most important metropolises. As the country’s economic and industrial hub, the city embodies dynamism, internationalism, and innovative spirit. Its location on the coast of the Arabian Sea, the distinctive blend of historic architecture and modern urbanity, and its cultural diversity lent the event a special atmosphere and fostered both intensive scientific dialogue and international networking.
Armed with numerous professional insights, new international contacts, and valuable inspiration for his future research and teaching work, Ansgar Nordieker subsequently began his return journey to the Paderborn campus.
