The individual chairs and subject groups as well as study initiatives welcomed a large number of students from higher grades, adults, but also younger and older children. In addition to the…
Together with 300 international guests, the scientific staff of the LWF visited the SCT 2022 in Mailand. With 150 presentations from industry and science, a wide range of topics related to steel and automotive construction was presented. The LWF presented 5 exciting research projects in the field of materials and joining technology.
The core topic of the SCT this year was the reduction of costs and energy consumption while improving crash safety…
All students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are cordially invited to enjoy hot dogs and drinks while learning about the activities of the LWF®, topics for student research projects and theses, and PhD opportunities.
Student and research staff tell how they came to the LWF. In the process, it becomes clear what the LWF stands for, why you should already be involved in research during your studies and what a successful team spirit looks like.

Für eine nachhaltige Mobilität ist ein verantwortungsvoller Umgang mit Ressourcen entscheidend. Neben einer intelligenten Kreislaufwirtschaft, die auf ein effektives Recycling von Materialien setzt, müssen auch nachhaltige Wertschöpfungsketten geschaffen werden. Was eignet sich dabei besser, als die Aufbereitung und Reparatur bereits bestehender…
Am 14.04.2022 konnte nach über zwei Jahren Pandemiegeschehen das Laboratorium für Werkstoff- und Fügetechnik (LWF) wieder in Präsenz interessierte Schülerinnen der Mittelstufe während der sogenannten Frühlings-Uni begrüßen und ihnen nicht nur theoretische, sondern auch praktische Einblicke in den Bereich des Maschinenbaus gewähren. Im Rahmen dieses MINT-Schnupperstudiums hatten die Schülerinnen die Möglichkeit, echte Uni-Luft zu schnuppern und…
In the framework of the EFB WebColloquium 2022, the EFB President Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Linnig (Schuler Pressen GmbH) awarded the project prize of the European Research Association for Sheet Metal Processing e.V. (EFB). The EFB Project Award was presented for the 13th time this year and is aimed at young scientists who have worked on an EFB project in an outstanding manner, both scientifically and technically, and who have advanced research in sheet…
The first energy crisis in the 1970s, which resulted in supply shortages of petrol and driving bans, led to the consideration of reducing fuel consumption by reducing vehicle weight. One possible approach was the use of lightweight materials such as aluminium. At that time efforts to use aluminium instead of steel in the production of car bodies failed, as no joining processes existed that could be used for the economic and reliable production of…
