It was an inspiring experience to attend this exciting conference and share the latest findings from research and industry.
Many fascinating contributions filled the atmosphere with innovation, from highly innovative research to practical applications.
The colloquium not only offered the opportunity to network with leading minds in mechanical joining technology, but also to network at the evening events away from the presentations.

The 18th Erlangen Hot Sheet Metal Forming Workshop took place on 14 November 2023 (www.lft.fau.de/18-erlanger-workshop-warmblechumformung). In the LWF's contribution, a solution approach for semi-tubular punch riveting of hot-formed, ultra-high-strength steels in increased thicknesses was presented. Increasing joining part strengths and thicknesses place ever greater demands on the semi-tubular self-pierce rivet. By modifying the properties of…
Machine learning is considered a driver of progress in a wide range of industries. Whether in autonomous driving, medical technology, or language models such as ChatGPT, Machine Learning is revolutionizing our understanding of how to analyze and use data.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce that LWF has joined forces with KTP for an intensive training of Machine Learning theory and application!
Over a day of intensive training, various ML…

The so-called "Olympic Games of Forming Technology" took place this year in Cannes on the Côte d'Azur, France. From September 24 - 29, the conference was held in 9 different live sessions, presenting over 370 technical papers and keynote lectures by participants from 35 countries.
The ICTP conference series is the most important international conference in the field of metal forming. It gathers the most prominent experts in sheet metal and solid…
The 14th European Adhesion Conference (EURADH) was held in conjunction with the 7th World Congress on Adhesion and Related Phenomena (WCARP) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the LWF was present with three exciting presentations on topics debonding, aging and electromobility.
In the course of lightweight developments in body-in-white construction, steel-intensive vehicle structures with aluminum outer skin components are of great importance. Due to the metallurgical incompatibility between steel and aluminum, resistance element welding (WES) is a particularly suitable joining solution for joining dissimilar material combinations.
On August 22, industrial representatives from various sectors met in Paderborn for the…
On June 28 - 29, 2023, resistance welders met for the 25th time this year for their "Resistance Welding Meeting" at the Haus der Unternehmer in Duisburg, which was once again organized by the SLV Duisburg in cooperation with the DVS - Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren e. V. (German Welding Society).
An exciting mixture of theory and practice makes this conference so successful. For this reason, practical lectures were on…
In cooperation with Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Meschut and Nick Chudalla, M. Sc. from the Department of Adhesive Bonding Technology have developed and scientifically validated a process that enables the component-friendly separation of bonded steel joints, among other things in car body repair. Low temperatures are used to reduce the energy absorption of the adhesive to such an extent that the joint can be…
Im Projektseminar Fügetechnik und Leichtbau (Prototyping im Anlagenbau) haben die Studierenden dieses Semester eigenständig eine Fügezange entwickelt. Ziel war es, den gesamten Entwicklungsprozess von der Konzeptphase über Konstruktion, Simulation und Programmierung bis hin zur Erprobung am Prototypen zu durchlaufen.
Durch die ganzheitliche Systembetrachtung und Implementierung des selbst entwickelten Zustandsautomaten bauten die Studenten so…
„Fügen heißt verbinden. Wir wollen nicht nur Werkstoffe verbinden, sondern auch Menschen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde im LWF ein neuer Ort der Begegnung geschaffen, der den zwischenmenschlichen Austausch zwischen den Mitarbeitenden bei einer Tasse Kaffe in lockerer Atmosphäre anregen soll
"360° - from Engineering to Production" is the company motto of Heggemann AG and stands for the realization of the complete value chain in product development and safeguarding as well as in the design and industrialization of quantity-optimized manufacturing processes. Students of the LWF lecture "Joining of lightweight structures" as well as student employees of the LWF got an impressive insight into this during an excursion to Heggemann AG in…
